REPUBLIC CITY 10 The Arizona Republic REPUBLIC MAIL rboeniz, July 6, 1972 I World chess title match to start Sunday or Tuesday if nothing else happens still missing after one hour of game time has expired forfeits the pamp snri nnint tn point in the battle for the world title, was not completely solved' Chess sources said Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Organization, was communicating with the Soviet Chess Federation in Moscow concerning the demand. One other point to be set tled is Spassky's demand for an apology from Fischer with the American's signature on it. No such document has been presented to the Russian world champion, but Euwe said he was satisfied that it would be forthcoming. Fischer presented 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 that the match had been delayed and said he "respected Grandmaster Spasskly as a player and man." Russian officials said the statement was expected to satisfy Spassky if delivered to him over Fischer's signature.

Euwe already fulfilled two other Soviet demands last night when he issued a condemnation of Fischer's behavior in failing to turn up in time and also admitted that he himself had violated FIDE rules by granting a postponement of the first match. Euwe said the Russians made their demand in a cable citing Paragraph 5 of the so-called Amsierdam agreement for the match in whicn both sides agreed that a player his opponent. "The Russians did not object Sunday when I postponed" the game and now I cannot make such a ruling" Euwe said. He had delayed the start of the match until Tuesday when Fischer, holding out for more money, failed to appear, for the scheduled open- 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. Lombar-' dy, a New York priest who is one of the 10 American grandmasters and is acting as Fischer's second. "We are sorry that the world championships were de; laved." it said.

"The prob-" lems causing the delays were not with world championship Spassky who I respect as a player and a man. 'if Grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomforted I am indeed unhappy for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring," the statement said. ing Sunday. Fischer, 29, the challenger, finally arrived early Tuesday after a chess-playing English financier doubled thepiizeto $250,000. With Fischer still resting up for the opening match Tuesday afternoon, Spassky, 35, arrived at a meeting called to draw lots for the right to make the first play and threw down a statement saying that Fischer "must bear just penalty'' for his behavior and walked out.

The match was delayed a second time until today. Fischer's associates talked for 2'i 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 Soviets call Fischer 'product of money-grubbing society New York Times Service reported in the controlled Soviet media, but judging from the sportsmanlike purity of chess is to call Fischer to order. He has been openly introducing into the game a spirit of sordid utilitarianism, money-grubbing and United Press International REYKJAVIK The Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess championship match will open Sunday or Tuesday at the latest, the president of the International Chess Federation said early today. Dr.

Max Euwe said he felt the major outstanding differences had been settled at a meeting between FIDE, the Icelandic organizers and Spassky's advisers ending early today. "The match will start Sunday or at the latest Tuesday," Euwe told newsmen. But Lother Schmid, FIDE arbiter of the match, warned, "This is if everything goes according to plan. Tilings can still go wrong." Schmid said the draw of lots to decide who is to play white in the first of the 24 games In the $250,000 match will be held at 8 p.m. today.

Euwe said a new meeting, also involving Fischer advisers, would be held today. He also said he felt the Soviet demand for a penalty for the 29 year old American challenger for showing up late for the start of the match, originally scheduled last Sunday, "might te settled later," at the FIDE Congress in Skopje, Yugoslavia. But Schmid said the Soviet demand that Fisher lose the first game, and a crucial Vl mnimiM mmiii'mi' I'n'n'i 11 1' -'n', V--'. V.V" Some chess fans here have suggested that the impasse should be resolved by giving Spassky the first game by default on the ground that Fischer had not shown up. The American's apparent emphasis on prize money has been difficult for Russian to understand.

The Soviet editor, in alluding to the ethics of capitalist society, phrased the problem in highly ideological terms, making no allowance of personal idiosyncrasies or eccentricities as possible factors in Fischer's case. But even less ideologically minded chess fans here have accused Fischer of lowering the game of chess from the lofty esteem in which it is held in the Soviet Union to the level of betting on the horses and other money-oriented sporting events. The Soviet media also have been critical of Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, for not taking a sterner attitude toward Fisher's actions. Reflecting a growing impatience over what has been viewed by Soviet officials as kid-glove treatment given to Fischer by the world federation, the government newspaper Izvestia published a letter last night under the headline "How much more can anyone fuss?" The letter, by members of the chess club of Moscow's Likhachcv automotive plant, said: "The officials of the world federation contend that they, are concerned mainly with the game of chess and preservation of sportsmanship in the conduct of all matches. One of the most effective contributions they could make to MOSCOW A Soviet newspaper editor buttonholed an American at a reception yesterday and said: "It is a money-grubbing society like yours that produces a Bobby Fischer.

If anything like this ever happened in the Soviet Union, the pressure of public opinion would never stand for it." The Russian was commenting on the impasse at the international chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, where the long-awaited 24-game series has been held up first by the United States challenger's delayed arrival and then by the refusal of Boris Spassky, the Soviet world champion, to start playing. News of a qualified apology-issued yesterday on behalf of Fischer was not immediately the present temper of chess fans and officialdom the Russians are in no mood to relent until unspecified sanctions are imposed against Fischer for having violated the agree d-up rules of the match. "He should not be allowed to get away with it," a Russian remarked, alluding to Fischer's demands for a bigger share of the gate receipts that forced postponement of the scheduled opening of the chess match Sunday. Only After James D. Slater, a London banker, offered $130,000 in additional prize money did the American decide to fly to Reykjavik Tuesday.

By then, however, Spassky insisted that the challenger be penalized for failure to start the match on time. $39" I CASTERS s329" ValueCenters 6) $249" Whiteivalls only 990 more than blackwalls.
