Karaklaic keeps chess title
Yugoslav international chess master Nikolai Karaklaic (37), a journalist, on Saturday retained his championship in the 11 round International Chess Congress at Bognor Regis. He defeated Arthur Hall (28), of Hastings, in a brilliant end game to score nine points from 11 games.
Karaklaic was followed by two West Germans each with eight points. They are Hans Hecht (24) and Wolfram Bialas (27), both of the University of Berlin.
Following them with seven-and-a-half points each were Ronald Fuller (28) from Ilford, Essex, and another Yugoslav Branko Grosek (28). Fuller also became the new Southern Counties Chess Union Champion.
