It was a bad day all around for the Ztyear old American. In addition to conceding Spassky a 1 0 lead in the score at the outset of the 24 game match, Fischer developed some more "money trouble.

News from London was that James Slater, who1 sweetened the pot with 50,000 pounds" about 1120,000 wouldn't be able to get his money out of England because of currency restrictions. The play lasted only one hour and three minutes. It was the continuation of a game begun Tuesday and adjourned after 40 moves with Fischer in a position the experts said could give him only a draw at best. Spassky favored a style of play that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side.

One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn when play concluded Tuesday night. In the first move Wed nesday, Spassky captured the pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king. Suddenly after five minutes of play and some indecisive sparring, Fischer stood, spoke animatedly to chief "referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and disappeared with his long rolling gait through the beige curtains offstage left. Fischer strode to his backstage dressing room where he told Schmid, who followed him, that he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 190 feet from the chess board was ordered shut off.

Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes while his clock continued to devour time. lie returned to continue the struggle, making his 44th move, an ineffectual sidestep with his CHESS 1st add an dclose 9A In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board. After Spassky's 56th move Fischer resigned.

He reached over and stopped his clock, He offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and a 1 out pausing once to wave to the audience, which was applauding the Russian. fftetftrr: block white EkS I leHi ifH TODAY AP Wlreptioto POINT OF FISCHER'S CONCESSION Spassky, white, nears Queen Spassky Offense Wins First Game (Harry Golprobek, an International Chess Grandmaster, has been three times Britlih chess champion and a judge in six pervious world chess championship matches. He In chess correspondent for the Times of London.) By HARUY GOLOMBLK TODAY Wothlngton Post Nsws Ssrvlcs REYKJAVIK Although when play was adjourned Tuesday night after 40 moves the result seemed unclear and champion Boris Spassky's winning possibilities uncertain, an overnight analysis by his assistant trio grandmasters Geller, Nikolai Krogius and Nej showed that challenger Bobby Fischer's position was not really tenable in the first game of the World Chess Championship The first few moves went much as anticipated, but then Fischer's defense became more and more difficult With a few short sharp strokes Spassky beat back his opponent's king. Then came a dramatic suspension of play Fischer observed that a cameraman was training a camera on him from the roof He protested and said he would not resume play until the camera was removed For 32 minutes the game stood in abeyance, and in the interium, Fischer's clock was going However, he had plenty of time Fred Kramer, vice president of the American zone of the World Chess Federation, called in the police and the cameraman was ordered away When play was resumed, Fischer's position went downhill rapidly until he reached a point, where he was unable to move without material loss. Desperately he shifted his king over to the other wing and did indeed succeed In removing one of the world champion's pawns.

But meanwhile. Spassky's king was busIIjKerigaged in capturing Fischer's pawns. Fischer resigned on the 56th move when it was apparent that he was miles behind in the pawn race to secure a fresh queen. So the score now stands: Spassky, 1, Fischer, 0, and the favorite has met with an unexpected defeat. Nevertheless, this is what happened to him last year in his final match in the candidates scries against Fetrosian at Buenos Aires, and he still won that match easily.
