Georgian Scroll waiter, rcg. 39.50 29.99 Chess sources said Cud-munduT Thorannsson. president of the Icelandic Chess Organization, was communicating with the Soviet Chess Federation in Moscow concerning the demand. One other point to be settled is Spassky's demand for an apology from Fischer with the American's signature on it.

No such document has yet been presented to the Russian world champion, but Dr. Euwe said he was satisfied that it would be forthcoming. FISCHER HAD an apology of sorts yesterday when he broke his silence with a statement regretting the delay of the match. Fischer said it was not Spassky's fault thst the match had been delayed and said he "respected Grandmaster Spassky as a player and man." Russian officials said the statement was expected to satisfy Spassky if delivered to him with Fischer's signature attached. Dr.

"The problems causing the delays were not with World Champion Spasiky who I respect as a player and a man. -IF GRANDMASTER Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomfited I am indeed unhappy for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring," the statement said.

Lombardy said Fischer hoped to "further explain his statement" to Spassky when they met face to face at the drawing lots for the right to make the first play. Spassky defeated Fischer in an earlier match before he became world champion. Fischer retired behind drawn curtains in a house with a police guard in Reykjavik when he arrived and had not emerged by last night IN HIS statement, made public by Euwe yesterday, Spassky charged: "Fischer has violated rules of common behavior by refusing to attend the opening ceremony of the chess match (on Sunday). By this he has insulted me personally and the country which I represent. "The public opinion in the USSR and that of myself is very indignant at the behavior of Fischer.

It is very doubtful whether he has the moral right to play the match. "If there should be any hope for the match, Fischer must bear just penalty.

The match was delated a second time until today. Fischer's associates talked for 24 hours to Spassky's associates without reaching an agreement and the Russians refused to meet again yesterday, the Americans said.

When chess sources reported Spassky had demanded an apology from Fischer, Fred Cramer of the U.S. Chess Federation said. "I cannot see Fischer apologizing." But Fischer did. The apology was read by the Rev. William J.
