Chessmen huddle across U.S. -jr- i Experts analyze dilemma of Fischer REPUBLIC CITY 4 The Arizona Republic t) Phoenix, July 13, 1972 Fischer loses initial game, hints boycott United Press International REYKJAVIK, Iceland The unpredictable Bobby Fischer, one game down in his bid for the world chess championship, threatened early today to stay away from the second game unless all television cameras were removed from The match In Iceland has generated excitement in chess where It always existed in intimate clubs across the nation and it has created an interest where none existed before. The game also is being fol mercial enterprise. "Everyone learns chess at some time as a child, on the playground, in the Navy," Lukowiak added. "Someone has taught them the moves, but they have not done much more with it." In Seattle, the owner of a custom chess board business said his was the only chess listing in the telephone directory and he, therefore, had received "lots" of calls.

His business is up, said Robert Ogilvie, because the match has "created a lot more interest, and I think a lot of dormant chess players are playing again and the active chess players are improving their equipment." Fifty to 100 chess fans were also following the action at the Chess House in Kansas City and at Mechanics Insti a dozen avid fans in the federalist-style building where the club makes its home in lower Manhattan, "I don't see where this can possibly be drawn unless white doesn't make the right moves." White, It turned out, did make all the right moves, and Fischer conceded defeat. He thus gave Spassky one point. The Soviet champion needs 12 points to retain the world title, and Fischer needs 12 points to capture it. And at the Marshall club, the boards were cleared for new play as soon as the announcement came. "The game's over," said a member who learned of the results by telephone.

"He gave it up." Chess enthusiasts also had gathered in the Manhattan Chess Club and at a game room enterprise called the Chess Club. Associated Press NEW YORK Bobby Fischer's clock was running out of time when a fellow member asked the Marshall Chess Club's champion player how things were going for the world championship challenger. "It looks bad," said George Kane, 23, vainly seeking a solution to Fischer's dilemma. "Looks bad." Elsewhere in Manhattan and in Boston, Kansas City, Birmingham, and San Francisco chess enthusiasts huddled over chess tables to analyze Fischer's losing play. The question arose again and again: Why did one of the world's greatest chess players fall victim to an apparent ploy by taking Boris Spassky's so-called poisoned pawn on his 29th move? "That is the main ques lowed on educational television stations in New Y'ork, Boston and Rochester, N.Y.

"We went crazy," said a spokesman for WNET-TV in New York City. He said up to 200,000 persons viewed their broadcast of the first day of the match Tuesday. So many telephone callers had questions, the spokesman continued, that the station was trying to collect chess experts to furnish answers during the rest of the match. At Boston's Chess Studio, 40 or 50 chess players have been keeping up with the game on television. They duplicate the moves on their own boards and discuss the play.

"There are lots of local experts." Bill Lukowiak reported. The match, he said, has brought "a lot of people" into the studio, which is a com Associated Press Bobby Fischer, deep in concentration in first game with Boris Spassky tute in San Francisco. Raymond Conway, the institute's chess room director, yesterday ended 40 hours with the 50 or so members who have been swapping speculations about the match since it began. At outdoor boards in Washington Square Park, chess fans furrowed their brows in summer's steamy heat and replayed the first memorable game. Spassky, wearing a slate jacket and beige trousers, made the first move yesterday, taking one of Fischer's remaining pawns.

Fischer then took a pawn from Spassky with his king. After 40 moves and 4'i hours of play Tuesday, Spassky held the advantage with a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns. Play was halted when Spassky, 35, asked for an adjournment and Fischer agreed. even if the match is not completed. After yesterday's walkout protest, Fischer returned to finish play.

He gave up when he saw he could not prevent Spassky moving his only surviving pawn to Fischer's side of the board, thus turning it into a Queen, the most powerful piece in game. Fischer stood up, made a helpless gesture to the audience and walked off. Early error led to chess ivin tion," said Stephen Brand-wein, 29, across the board from Kane. "His style is to play risky but not that risky. It really looks hopeless." At the Birmingham Chess Club, Charles Smith said, "Our feelings are that over the long period of 24 games, Fischer will overcome any loss he may sustain and eventually will win." Members of the Marshall club agreed, citing victories as far back as 1954 and noting world champions who had lost the first or second game in a match.

Fischer himself, they said, has been a first the auditorium, international chess sources said. Fischer, who lost the opening game to world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union on the 56th move yesterday, made his demand known at a closed-door meeting with representatives of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), the Icelandic organizers of the $250,000 match and American companies owning the rights to televise the games. Chess sources said Fischer would forfeit the second game of the 24-game series if he failed to appear within one hour of; the 5 p.m. (10 a.m. Phoenix time) starting time today.

Angered by the presence of two closed-circuit television cameras high above the contest stage. Fischer got up and walked out for 35 minutes during the second day of play yesterday. He later returned to concede to the Russian on the 56th move. Two other cameras placed in towers out in the hall had been taken away at Fischer's request before the first game began Tuesday evening. Chief referee Lothar Schmid said FIDE could not accept Fischer's latest demands because the so-called "Amsterdam agreement," made by the organizers and the two players, allowed closed-circuit TV coverage of the match, the sources said.

Fred Cramer, vice-president of the U.S. Chess Federation, who announced Fischer's demand at the closed meeting late yesterdiy, noted that the 29-year-old American challenger had never signed the Amsterdam agreement, but FIDE officials said they felt Fischer was bound by it because he had cabled his acceptance. Chester Fox the American company owning the television rights, said it would seek another meeting with Fischer's representatives before today's game in an effort to resolve differences. Income for the rights were vital to the Icelandic organizers who said they could lose nearly $100,000 if the match were called off. They are bound by agreement to pay Spassky five-eighths of $125,000 Following is an analysis of the conclusion of the opening Fiseher-Spassky chess match, written for the Associated Press by Isaac Kashdan, an international chess Final moves in game listed United Press International Resigns 56.

K-Q6 REYKJAVIK, Iceland-The final moves in the first game of the world chess championship match between Boris Spassky of Russia and Bobby Fischer of the United States: Spassky (white), Fischer (black). Fischer had two pawns as compensation for the bishop, but they were separated and weak. The pawns soon fell as a result of Spassky's good coordination of his king and bishop. There were then two courses open to Fischer. Unfortunately for the American, there was no real hope with either one.

The one he chose was to attack Spassky's rook pawn. Spassky had no objection, going after Fischer's queen-side pawns as the quickest winning method. Spassky would free his one remaining pawn and in a few moves advance it to queen. Whenever Fisher's pawn moved up, the long-ranging bishop was there to hold it. The alternative course for Fisher was to retreat his king to QBI or thereabouts to de fend his remaining pawns.

Curiously enough, this would have led to a draw if Spassky's pawn had been on R5 instead of R4. In that case, all the pawns on the queen side would have been blocked and immobile. Fischer's king could never have been driven off, with a constant danger of stalemate. This is an unusual, little-known position, in which White cannot force a win, despite the fact that he has position. Fortunately Spassky, the one square between the pawns can be utilized.

In the game, had Fischer chosen the retreat indicated, Spassky would stalemate the black king, forcing the pawn to move. He would then release the stalemate with his bishop and move to capture the pawn. With his second pawn free, Spassky would win routinely. By IAAC KASHDAN International Grandmaster LOS ANGELES When Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky resumed play in the second session of their first match game, it was clear to the experts that Spassky should win. Fischer continued the game yesterday for an additional 15 moves, then i d.

He might have carried on for a few more moves, or resigned earlier. There was no longer any hope for a draw. Spassky's task was not particularly difficult. He had gained a bishop late in the first session due to an error by Fischer. game loser.

International Master Edward Lasker, 86, studied a large wall board with magnetic pieces. Slapping a pawn here and a bishop there with bewildering speed, the tay-haired chess expert kept trying to figure a way that Fischer might salvage a likely loss to a drawn game. "One, two, three, four." Lasker said as he counted possible moves. "No, no," he said, realizing that Spassky's white pieces could overtake i 's defensive black pieces. "To tell the truth," he told (SYMBOLS: In British and American usage, each move in a chess match is recorded by using letters for each chess piece and numbers for each square on the board.

The squares are numbered along the columns and named for the piece initially sitting at the first square on the file. For example, the third square in front of the rook on the side of the king is numbered: KR3, or King's Rook 3. The letters and their corresponding pieces are: king; -queen; bishop; knight; rook; pawn. An between letters indicates the first piece captured the second. 0-0 indicates castling.
