He was about the same age when he first learned to play chess, having become immediately fascinated when his sister, Joan, brought home a set she had picked up at a notion store. And from then on, he's been practically living with the game. Mrs. Fischer has long been concerned over her son's total absorption in chess. Outside of a little tennis, which he plays at high school, where his grades are average, he doesn't appear to have any other interest at all, she said.

said: "He's so great that he shows the same potential as the immortals Paul Morphy and Jose Capablanca. He may some day become a world champion." Bobby lives with his mother and 20-year-old sister in Brooklyn. Mrs. Regina Fischer, his mother, a cheerful-looking visiting nurse, said the young chess genius, a high school sophomore, was precocious even as an infant. In nursery school, she said, he was a whiz at cutouts and other puzzle games.

Since the end of World War II, (he author of "God is My Co-rilot" has divided his time between the unofficial wild blue yonder and official hot water. Now the colorful, out-spoken general is retiring. Here's why. By JOE LEWIS LUKE A I FORCE BASE (AP) The gangling general sighed as he looked at the mass of papers overflowing his desk.

"I've outlived my usefulness," said Brig. Gen. Robert L. Scott Jr. "Dammit, I'm a flier, not a desk man." Scott, the outspoken World War II Flying Tiger are and author of the "Gnd is My Co-rilot," was explaining why he will rrtire from the service Thursday at the age of 49.

The general pushed a bony hand through graying hair and reviewed a 33-year military career in which he received wartime acclaim and peacetime criticism for flouting military crihodoxy. Last year, Scott was fired as air force information director for plumping a bit too hard for the Slrategic Air Command. Secretary of the Air Force Donald A. Quarles sent him to Luke AFB, which Scott commanded until his recent retirement announcement. SINCE THEN, the general has has had other run-ins with officialdom: Comedian Joe E.

"I caught hell for spending too much time in the cockpit," he added, "and not enough at the desk." The general was a highly popular speaker at Phoenix civic clubs.

He has made several speeches against racial prejudice and received a citation from the National Conference of Christians and Jews for "promoting understanding." Scott added that his personal crew chief, S.Sgt. Joseph K. Weaver, is a Negro. "He's the best crew chief I ever had. It's a shame we don't pay enough to keep men like him in the service." The general fidgeted, still listening to the roar of the planes, and still looking unhappy behind the desk.

"COME ON," he said, half-rising. "Let's look sat the planes." Out on the base runway, the sound of jets seemed to infuse him with boyish enthusiasm. Scott watched the planes overhead, his body and arms moving to demonstrate the intricacy of their maneuvers. He strode over to his personal plane, an F-84F Thunderstreak The leathernecks are charged with maltreating 25 servicemen in the brig. The charges cover the period from May 15 to June 12, 1957.

"Some of my friends were killed flying the mail in bad weather." In World War II, Scott related, he fibbed again and said he had experience flying the B-17 bomber in order to get into combat. The general flew 388 combat missions in the Pacific, downed 13 enemy planes, and wrote his bestseller. "AND I DIDN'T have help in writing that book either," added Scott, who has written several other books, mainly about his wartime experiences. "I just told the publisher I had three days to do the book before going back to duty. I locked myself in a hotel room for three days and three nights and dictated the whole book." Scott, a native of Macon, went on: "Then some Yankee girl put the whole thing together including my bad grammar, my Southern cliches, my dangling participles, and my split infinitives.

Scott took Actress Rhonda Fleming for a ride in a jet. "Of course," the general recalls, "her husband was there. But the higher-ups didn't like giving unauthorized rides to civilians." Even as he spoke to a newsman the other day, three Pentagon officers were waiting outside his office to question the general about an unauthorized speech he had made on the Soviet earth satellite. As he half-listened to the roar of jet planes as they whooshed across the desert sky, Scott said he was quoted out of context.

"I didn't say I was afraid of the satellite. I said I was concerned about the power of the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile which launched the satellite. Besides, it was a standard air force speech." THE GENERAL started to aJd something, stopped short, I id quickly admonished: "Now don't say I'm critical of the air force. I'd like to promote the air force when I get out." Then why was he leaving? "Selfish reasons. My wife's health.

He watched appreciate as a jet landed. "You can tell it was an instructor pilot," he said. "By the way he landed the plane." WAS HE planning anything special for his Thursday retirement ceremony? "When I retire," he replied, "there ain't gonna be no marching in review. I don't like to see my men walking.

Other officers, he said, resented his book writing, his knack for getting headlines, and his bluntness in promoting the air force In the bitter, but subtle, interservice rivalry. "Actually," the general chuckled, "the mortality rate in the Pentagon is fairly high. My successor (as information director) lasted a couple months. I lasted 16 months. That's almost a record."
