Brady said he had received a call from Fischer's attorney saying it "disturbed Fischer's concentration" to have Brady in the same room with him.

"The problem is the book I wrote about him," said Brady. "He didn't like it. It isn't flattering." Fischer won the first of his six U.S. championships in January 1958, and in September of that year became the youngest international grand master in the history of the game. His chess claying is characterized by vast booK knowledge of the game, the mastery of thousands of openings, a brilliant end game and the courage to be reckless at times that is, to give up valuable pieces in order to get himself in a better position on the board.

Most Controversial In U.S. Besides being the United States' most brilliant player, he is the country's most controversial. In July 1961 a match with Samuel Reshevsky, an Orthodox Jew, had to be rescheduled from a Saturday to a Sunday morning because Reshevsky would not play on Saturday. Fischer said he was not used to playing in the morning, and refused to appear. The game was forfeited.

Fischer earns an estimated $12,000 a year from chess tournaments and magazine articles. His book, "Games of Chess," was published in 1959. He lives alone in the walkup apartment in Brooklyn in which he was brought up. His parents were divorced when he was two, and his mother has since remarried and now lives in England. She was graduated from medical school last year.

Fischer New Ywk Times Ntwt Service NEW YORK Bobby Fischer u.sed to cry when he lost a chess game. Now he admits that he is the greatest chess player in the world, and a lot of experts agree even though he has not won the world's championship. The moody young man, once called the Mozart of chess, is leading in the Capablanca Memorial-Chess Tournament, being held in Havana, Cuba. He's participating by teletype. When Bobby Fischer was 13 he decided he could beat anyone in New York in chess, so one summer da he went to the Manhattan Chess Club and challenged all comers.

Several months later, at 14, the sullen and temperamental boy turned up at the club wearing dungarees, a T-shirt and sneakers and won the U.S. championship, a title he still holds at the age of 22. Learns Moves At Age Of 6 Robert James Fischer learned the moves of chess at the age of 6. He was born in Chicago March 9, 1943, after which his family moved to Oregon, to Arizona and to California, before settling in Brooklyn. Bobby loved games, and he and his older sister, Joan, got a chess set and puzzled out the directions.

His mother, Mrs. Regina Fischer, said that as a very young child Bobby "would get those Japanese interlocking rings, and things like that, and take things apart I couldn't figure out at all." One schoolteacher said: "No matter what he played he had to come out ahead of everybody. If (he had been born next to a swimming pool, he would have been a swimming champion." Drops Out Of High School In his junior year he dropped out of Brooklyn's Erasmus High School and never returned. After he won the U.S. championship the usually reserved chess critics could find no words to describe him.

He has been called a miracle, a "fiery genius," and the greatest natural chess a poorly dressed tangle of arms and legs to a moodily handsome brooding young man who affected $200 suits and $90 shoes. He now dresses conservatively and neatly, but not expensively. Once, when asked by an interviewer if he considered himself the greatest chess player that ever lived, he answered: "Well, I don't like to put things like that in print, it sounds so egotistical. But to answer your question, He said about school: "The teachers are stupid. They shouldn't have any women in there.

They don't know how to teach. I don't listen to weakies." Weakies was Bobby's term for people who don't play chess or for players who are not as good as himself. All His Friends Play Game Fischer's whole life is chess. All his friends play the game, and all the jokes that he thinks are funny converge on knowledge of the game. He does not drink or smoke or often go on dates or ever to the movies.

"You've seen one, you've seen them all," he says of motion pictures. Edward Lasker, the author of "Chess for Fun and Blood," said that Fischer belongs to the latter category "He always wants to kill his opponent." Fischer plays his pieces with quick and sudden movements. He never relaxes his concentration during a game, although he has been known to bite his fingernails, and if kibitzers press too closely he waves them off. At times he glares malevolently through partially closed hazel eyes at his opponent. 'Concentration Disturbed' Monday in the Cuban tournament, he fired his referee, Frank Brady, 31, an hour before his teletype match with Romania's Victor Cioaciltea was to begin.

Dr. Hans Knoch, author of recondite chess treatises, once said: "Never before in all chess history has there been such a phenomenon." But it was the Fischer personality as much as the Fischer genius that captured the chess followers. When he was 16 he turned from during a challengers' tournament in Yugoslavia in 1959.

Each won a game and two games were tied.

Tlmet-Weshineton Pott Strvlco Ditpetchei NEW YORK (AP) U.S. chess champion Bobby Fischer won his third longdistance game of the Capablanca Memorial Tournament last night in a game that one expert said "will go down in chess history." The 22-year-old champion beat his opponent, Gueorghia D. Tringov of Bulgaria, in 22 moves. "The game was a masterpiece," said Saul Rubin, president of the Marshall Chess Club. Fischer is cabling his moves from the club to tournament headquarters in Havana because the State Department refused to grant him a visa to visit Cuba.

Rubin said Fischer's game was "extremely brilliant and complex." At one point, he said, Tringov did not believe one of Fischer's moves and had to telephone New York on the chess "hot line" to confirm it. 'He thought it was a losing move, but really it was a winning move," Rubin said. Fischer Wins 3 Of 5 Games In five games so far, Fischer has won three, against Heinz Lehmann of West Germany, former world champion Vassily Smyslov of the Soviet Union, and Tringov. He had a draw against Romania's Victor Cioaciltea. His fourth game, against Belgium's Alberic O'Kelly, was adjourned yesterday until Friday alter 54 moves had been played.

Smyslov, 44, resigned in his game with Fischer after an overnight adjournment. Speaking in English over a direct telephone line which supplements the teletype used for moves, he congratulated the surprised American on winning. Earlier Smyslov had proposed a draw on his 24th move, but Fischer declined and went on to build up a stronger position. Smyslov and Fischer had met before, Liquor Violations Charged To Boat, Country Clubs The Louisville Boat Club on River Road and the Owl Creek Country Club in Anchorage have been cited for liquor-law violations by Capt Marvin Weakley, head of the county Alcoholic Beverage Board of Control. County ABC agents allegedly saw unlocked liquor cabinets in the clubs on a Sunday, Aug.
