REPUBITC BULLDOG 4-A The Arizona Republic Phoenix, Sunday, July 2, 1972 Fischer stalls richest chess match oufm i' i Associated Press v. STARTS JULY 2 inff.Kti.iiinijrni'f.-iit.aa. 1 ST a Bobby Fischer REYKJAVIK, Iceland -It was Bobby Fischer's move last night to break the deadlock threatening the richest chess match ever arranged. The 29-year-old American grand master was balking at a chance to end the Soviet Union's monopoly on the world chess crown because of a last-minute money dispute he created himself. Fischer was in New York on the eve of the match holding out for more money.

The problem was his attempt to grab a share of the gate receipts collected during his 24-game match with world champion Boris Spassky of Russia, scheduled to begin this afternoon. Fischer wants 30 per cent of the gate. His eleventh-hour demand for more money than provided in the original agreement was rejected by the Icelandic Chess Federation that organized the match. Two meetings between federation president Gudmundur Thorarinsson and Andrew Davis, a New York lawyer representing Fischer, produced "some results." Thorarinsson said. "But "there are still some difficulties." he added.

Asked if Davis had pro-missed that his client would show up for the open match, Thorarinsson replied: "We have no Thorarinsson had another talk with Davis last night with no apparent result. ing about his tennis game. He had a two-hour session with Soviet chess grand master Jivo Nei. a strong tennis player who gave the '5-yea-old Spassky a good workout. Soviet sources said Spassky planned to stay awav from the chess board yesterday and relax.

Spassky was said by one friend to be "somewhat nervous and upset" as the match approached but this was described as normal pregame jitters. Spassky has had the opportunity of familiarizing himself with his surroundings. Fischer would face an early disadvantage of travel fatigue and the irritation he often feels with unfamiliar surroundings if he arrives today. The schedule calls for the first white pawn to be moved and the time clock started at 5 p.m. The men are to play from that time to a 10 p.m.

$18 12.99 There was a possibility ot another meeting. Sources on the sidelines of the negotiations said they expected Fisher to arrive today, but conceded they had no firm evidence. The original terms included prize money of $125,000, with five-eighths going to the winner, and an even split of 60 per cent of the income derived from the sale of television and film rights to the match. The purse was 10 times greater than any previous offered for the world title. Lothar Schmidt, the West German referee for the match, was reported to have been horrified when he heard of Fischer's new financial ultimatum.

Thorarinsson dismissed the demand, saying "I don't think" the federation would pay the players a portion of admission fees. "We are refusing on principle," he said. Another last-minute condition conveyed by Fischer's lawyer was a guarantee, in the form of a letter of credit, that all the prizes would be paid him. "We've said we would live up to our agreement," the federation president replied. If Fischer doesn't appear for the match, Spassky would retain the title.

It also was likely the International Chess Federation would apply strict sanctions against Fischer in future tournaments the federation sponsors. There also was discussion of a possible suit against Fischer by the Icelanders. Spassky remained composed, chatting amiably with reporters at his hotel and jok- there wee groat doubts in Reykjavik" about whether the match would be played. Tass correspondent Alexander Yermakov reported from Reykjavik that with only a few hours remaining ischer is sill far awav from the capital of Iceland" and "continues to make new demands which arc causing just indignation here." Yermakov reported that i 's second, Larry Evans, had said the challeng er was waging war ot nerves on Spassky, "yet it is Fischer himself who seems to be DAY CARE SCHOOLS For Parents GIRL'S SUMMER SPORTSWEAR FROM WHITE STAG AND PANDORA, regularly 3.50 to 12.00.
