CLOSED SUNDAY. him business comes before sports." The news media here hasn't devoted much attention to the chess match, but the average Russian chess player knows Fischer is down two points and that Spassky hasn't even begun to fight. Confused at first, but willing to accept the American's desire for more money, most of the park players now attribute Fischer's latest demands to fear of defeat at the hands of the world champion. Spassky. The prospect of a major Soviet-American confrontation over the chess board was exciting and appealing.

But the imagination has turned to disgust. For the park bench players. Fischer is either crazy or scared. Either way, the average Russian privately agrees with i government-controlled newspapers. For months the Soviet press has criticized tire American challenger as "a money-grubbing business-man," a chess player who carries around with him "a disgusting spirit of gain." "Fischer's nothing more than a capitalist." one bearded player complained.

Camelback Phoenix FLOOR SAMPLE i International president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), was returning to Iceland to take charge of the match, the richest and also most troublesome in the history of the game. The organizers, bound by a contract with Chester Fox had refused to remove all the cameras, but did take out one and relocated two others so that Fischer could neither see or hear them. Fischer's aides approached Spassky and his seconds yesterday seeking a settlement of the i a e.

Russian sources said Fischer's representatives asked Spassky to agree to cancel the forfeiture of the second game and play it. but Spassky refused. "In contrast to Mr. Fischer, the world champion abides by the FIDE rules for this match." said Nikolai Krogius, one of Spassky's seconds. Fischer remained locked in his hotel suite yesterday.

Icelandic organizers fear that the match is already over, chess sources said, and they are now making contingency plans to save themselves from total financial disaster. Under the match rules. Fischer will not receive any share of the prize money if he fails to complete the match. But Spassky would presumably be able to claim his share if he is declared the winner.

But Gudmundur Thorarins-son, president of the Icelandic Chess-w.

Federation, said his match fcommittee had decided to reject a protest filed by Fischer against the award of the second game of the match to the Russian champion when the temperamental American failed to show up. "If it all boils down to cameras or no cameras. I guess we'll try to remove them," Thorarinsson said. The third game is set for tomornw, but chess sources say it may not take place. The Rev.

William Lonibar-dy, Fischer 's second, dis-counted rumors that the American chessmaster was flyirg home. "I haven't heard anything about that and I hope it's not true," Father Lombardy said.

When Fischer did not show lip within the allotted 1-hour time limit to make his first move, Judge Lothar Sehmid announced that Fischer had forfeited the game and that Spassky was leading the match 2-0. Fischer protested both the decision and the presence of cameras in the 3.000-seat hall. The match committee met for two hours yesterday before announcing the protest had been rejected.

They used to respect and even privately root for the American who wants the world chess crown.

They don't any more. "He's slightly touched in the head," muttered a chess enthusiast as his opponent pondered the next move on a board balanced across a bench. About 6 million Russians take chess seriously and there's a growing feeling among them that Fischer has become downright insulting. "This is chess, not baseball," said one chess fan. "Fischer's no sportsman." There was only praise for Boris Spassky, the Russian world champion who has waited patiently in Reykjavik as Fischer caused delay after delay over his demands for more money, for better lighting and, at last report, for the removal of film cameras from the match site.

It was Fischer's self-confidence, his individuality and his public claim to being the world's best chess player that captured the Russians' imagination. Perhaps bored with the knowledge that the world crown has remained in Russian hands for 24 years, the man on the street was not overly distraught when Fischer crushed Russia's Tigran Pctrosian for the right to face INTERIORS OH FINE FURNITURE SALE!
