Brooklynite Gains Junior Chess Title
Homestead, Fla., July 13—Undefeated in nine rounds, Raymond Weinstein, 17-year-old sophomore from Brooklyn College, emerged today as the new junior champion of the United States Chess Federation.
Twice the junior champion of the Marshall Chess Club of New York, Weinstein succeeded Bobby Fischer, the United States champion, also from Brooklyn, as title-holder.
Weinstein's final score of 8-1, comprising seven games won and two drawn, was equaled by 16-year-old Larry Remlinger of Long Beach, California who won eight times. However, he lost his fourth-round game to Weinstein. This accounted for his lower placing.
In the ninth round, Weinstein defeated Robert Dickinson of Redwood, California. The champion's two drawn games were with John Freeman of El Paso, Texas, and Stephen Jones of Austin, Texas. Remlinger downed David Krause of Palo Alto, Calif., in the final round.
Jones, with 6-3, finished in third place.
