Cramer shrugged when asked why Fbcher did not show up.

"He makes his own decisions," he said. Cramer said he would also report back to Fischer on hold room accomodations, the amount of noise in the tournament hall, proximity of the audience and light glare. "Everything has to be perfect." Cramer said he did not know when Fischer would leave for Iceland nor would he say where the player was staying but said he was "not too far away. He's very sensitive about the press."

1 1 I men. iUlOAV WEEK! TONIGHT AT 7 AND 1000 (, Memorial Tournament in Moscow, Spassky finished in a discouraging tie for sixth and seventh place. Now he finds himself going to Iceland as the sole remaining defender of Russian chess supremacy; recently the Soviet govern-ment gave him a larger 'James Garner V. 4 Va. Trained to commit the most incredible From JC relationships, is back on his own again.

A better possibility, I think, is that Fischer will stay the distance, and that Spassky will collapse from a combination of psychological and chess reasons. Fischer is a dogged fighter who will defend a lost position to the bitter end, and there is this curious thing about his opponents: Tbey keep caving in to extreme exhaustion. Tigran Petrosian, the former world champion who as Bobby's opponent in the Buenos Aires semifinal match, had to check into a hospital at one point. And Bent Larson, whose personal dislike for Skin inCiriHie) caper ever 5 concM ccwsBCys) Bobby foresees. Chess Is a game of legerdemain: Your opponent can see all of your pieces, and you can see all of his, so you don't conceal pieces but ideas.

A winning chess combination is, at its most basic level, a ruthless demonstration of the logical superiority of your ideas. And Fischer is able to bury his ideas so deeply into his middle-game positions (or, perhaps, to extract them from their subterranean hiding-places) that a positional player like Spassky, with his tendency to draw games, might find himself exhausted from forever waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is Fischer's willingness to take chances, and his ability to extract deep combinations from seemingly shallow positions, that make him a popular favorite in the Soviet Union. There, where chess is the national sport, the national passion and, some say, the national soul, there an impatience with the conservative playing styles of many of the current Russian grandmasters. And so the Russians like Fischer, who is the most popular American in the Soviet llkli(Mvn'W U) Kll 1 Hi, Rochester Area Neighbors! 1 BOBBY FISCHER I'nion since Van Cliburn.

Maybe they don't like him personally, but they admire his style. Of the five games they have played previously, Spassky won three and there were two draws. But that doesn't necessarily mean much in terms of their championship match. Fischer is in the top of his form, and for the past year has played grandmastcr-lcvcl chess with more success than any other player in the history of the game. Spassky, however, came in third a year ago in a "Swiss system" tournament in Toronto (where players ranked as equal are played against each other).

First and second places were apartment and a car, and if he wins he will win $78,123 but if he loses, in Kotanow-sky's words, "He has a great deal more to lose than Fischer." In the meantime, as the world championship approaches, it is amusing to see the American news media gearing up for it. We have never been quite able to figure out how to cover chess. It is a sport, but doesn't go inlo the sport pages. It is a game that millions of Americans play, and yet American newspapers cannot quite bring themselves to believe that many readers understand chess notation. Radio and television find it even harder to cover chess, because the printed record of the moves in a game is the only really satisfactory way of presenting it.

The concept of a live radio broadcast of a This nice little hotel offers you, your friends guests a room any Friday or Saturday Night I at Vi PRICE Fischer is no secret, apparently found it psychologically torturing to sit across the board from this arrogant young man who "likes to see 'em squirm." Spassky may feci extra pressure because of his deliberate and classically correct playing style. Although Fischer's games have the apparent clearness of a stream of fresh running water, they often have concealed within them Byzantine twists that only MIDI0WN TOWER HOTEL 1400 Midlown Plata Rochtir, Y. 14604 Just Call and say you are a neighbor 232-3030 4 Outside 14th Floor Patio for Lunch Daily from 11:30 -Air Conditioned Dining Room, Too Greatest Banquet Meeting Accommodations In The City Dinners Nitely 5 P.M. to 10 P.M.

Chess is a game of the imagination, and its most exciting moments do not happen on the board but in the minds of its players. When Fischer finally makes his move, that is what we see. But the game's passion is to be found in the secret places of his mind, where be considers all of the possible moves on the board, and rejects them, all but one.

That moment of decision is private, and only a chess player fully understand it.
