Monday. July 10, 1972 7 The Morning News, Wilmington, Dei. IRA cease-fire Lodairport Chair arrives, Fischer ready massacre ends i in wave trial site is armed camp of terrorism THE match was postponed once last week as Fischer held out for more money and twice more as the Russians demanded the American be penalized for the delay. They finally settled for a written apology from Fischer to Spassky. While Spassky fished in northern Iceland, Fischer stayed in the plush Loftleidir Hotel and a private house also at his disposal.

He reads and swam in the hotel pool, leaving only to go bowling at the U.S. Navy base at Keflavik, about 30 miles outside would not argue about the conditions or the picking of a board and a chess set. "I will leave that to Fischer. It makes no difference to me," he said. FISCHER, who has been in the hall where the match is to be played once, complained about a number of things, including the chairs, the light and the board.

Since he could find no chair to fit him the 29-year-old American is much taller than Spassky, 35 Fischer decided to ship his own favorite chair in from New It arrived aboard an Icelandic jetliner. Grandmaster Lothar Schmid, has returned to his home in Bamberg and will not be back in Reykjavik until Thursday "will not stop the game," Cramer said. SCHMID flew home Saturday after his son had been injured in a traffic accident. Schmid's deputy, Gudmundur Arnlaugsson of Iceland, will take charge of the first game in the $250,000 match for the world title. The players still must give their official approval to the playing conditions but Spassky said Saturday before leaving to go salmon fishing that he REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Challenger Bobby Fischer's favorite chair arrived by air freight from New York yesterday to help assure the American's comfort in his match against Russian Boris Spassky for the world chess championship.

Fred Cramer, a vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation acting as Fischer's spokesman, said he was certain the first of the 24 scheduled games will be played tomorrow "unless Spassky is still ill."

The Israelis have spent thousands of dollars in a crash had expected it and we are prepared." FIRST reports indicated the Provisionals had launched a widespread offensive in bomb-scarred Belfast. The army post on Springfield Road, a no-man's land dividing rival Protestant and Roman Catholic areas, came under heavy fire, including machine-gun bursts.

Russians supreme in chess world BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) The Irish Republican Army's militant Provisional wing called off its flimsy two-week-old truce Sunday night and pledged new hostilities of "utmost ferocity." The announcement loosed a rampage of shooting and bombing on battered Ulster. Minutes after the announcement by Sean Macstiofain, the Provisionals' chief of staff, a spate of shootings broke out in several sectors of Belfast. At least five civilians died in gun battles, raising to nine the death toll in the 24-hour period that ended at midnight, The IRA charged the British army wrecked the truce by attacking Roman Catholics; in the Lenadoon Estate in Belfast earlier yesterday. Army headquarters denied it broke the cease-fire. BEFORE the announcement was made, guerillas executed four men in Belfast the latest in a series of killings by IRA and Protestant terrorist squads.

All were shot in the head, raising the toll in three years of sectarian blood-letting to .415. Fifteen persons were assassinated during the two weeks of declared ceasefire. A spokesman for the Protestants' paramilitary Ulster Defense Association said of Macstiofain's statement: "We Gossan Kanafani slain guerilla Several of them, including Okamoto, underwent guerilla training at a camp run by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in Lebanon. He is charged under emergency defense regulations of 1945 tough rules invoked by the British when they ruled Palestine under a mandate. MEANWHILE in Beirut, guerillas blamed Israel for the death Saturday of one of their leaders in a bomb explosion.

Killed as he tried to start his parked car was Gassan Kanafani, 36, official spokesman for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the group that claimed responsibility for the Lod massacre. The PFLP said Kanafani's death could bring "the most cruel and most painful" revenge against Israel. In Jerusalem, however, Israeli police linked the explosion with a possible plan by Palestinians to mail bombs to persons in Israel and other countries. Plan labeled JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) The Rand Daily Mail newspaper reported a "crash plan" has been approved by authorities to combat traffic congestion in Pretoria. program to' prepare the camp for the trial.

He and two radical Japa-'nese companions are accused of gunning down and grenad-ing more than 100 persons shortly after the trio stepped off an Air France plane from Rome. Okamoto's companions were killed in the slaughter that claimed the lives of 26 passengers and airport visitors. The defendant has confessed to his part in the massacre, police say. But he has a fair chance of escaping the death Israelis also elected to try be-penalty if convicted.

Only Eichmann, whom the fore a military tribunal, has been executed in Israel's 24-year history. THE prosecution says it will call 13 witnesses in the case, which is expected to take no more than four or five days. Police here and in Japan say Okamoto was one of a Within a half-hour of the truce's end, a 100-pound bomb wrecked several offices, in downtown Belfast. Police reported extensive damage, but no casualties in the district, normally deserted at weekends. THREE British soldiers were wounded in hit-and-run raids by carloads of gunmen army checkpoints, i Six bomb explosions were reported in a three-minute period in Londonderry, the province's second city where the IRA has a strong garrison in the "Free Derry" Catholic zone if rules.

The tattered truce ended in gunfire yesterday afternoon when troops fought with guerilla snipers in the Letiadoon housing development. The IRA claimed the troops violated the case-fire ''without warning" when they opened up with rubber bullets and tear gas against about 1,000 Catholic militants into a Protestant district. While still recognized as world champion, he stopped playing and disappeared from the chess scene. He died at the age of 47. Fischer has said that the player he admires most, excluding himself, is Morphy.

Morphy's prowess was such that he would on occasion play blindfolded against eight strong players simultaneously, each time with success. But after returning to the U.S. in 1359, Morphy gradually lost interest in the game and stopped playing altogether in 1866. He died of a brain hemorrhage in 1884. AFTER Morphy came Wilhclm Stcinitz of Czechoslovakia the first universally recognized world champion Emanuel Lasker of Germany and Capablanca, the Cuban who learned to play when he was 4 years old and became in the eyes of many experts the world's greatest chess player ever.

He finally lost his title to Aljechin. Aljechin, a Russian living in exile in Paris, ruled as champion from 1927 to his death in Portugal in 1946 with the exception of two years from 1935 when Max Euwe, a Dutch teacher, held the title. He took it from the Russian but lost it again to him in the return match. After Aljechin's death the world Chess Federation organized a title tournament involving the world's six leading players. Reuben Fine of the United States had been nominated to play but could not participate.

Michail Botvinnik won the tournament and the title and became the first in an unbroken string of Russian champions, which included Vassily Smyslov, Michael Tal, Tigran Petrosian and Spassky. Compiled from dispatches If Bobby Fischer defeats Boris Spassky in the world championship chess match, he will be the second American to rule as world champion. A victory for Spassky, ruling world champion from the Soviet Union, would maintain Russian domination of the game which has lasted since 1927 when Alexander Aljechin took the title away from the legendary Jose Raoul Capablanca of Cuba. The origin of chess is uncertain but historians believe the game was created in India several thousand years ago. It is reputedly the world's oldest game.

THE game came to Europe via Persia, where it was known in the sixth century and also got its name from the Persian word for king shah the foremost piece in the game. In the 11th century the game spread to Spain, Italy and Germany. It became popular among noblemen. The present rules were created in the 16th century by a Spaniard, Ruy Lopez de Segura, who also wrote the first book on chess. F.

A. Philidor, a French composer, became known as the world's best chess player in the 18th century. The world title was not introduced until 1851, when Adolf Andcrssen, a 30-year-old German professor, won the first major international tournament in London. He lost the title seven years later to America's first and only world champion, Paul Morphy. MORPHY'S early career was in some ways similar to that of Fischer.

He was born in New Orleans and was a strong player at age 12. When he was 20 he won a major tournament in New York and the following year he sailed to Europe to challenge Anderssen. group of at least five radicals involved in the Lod plot.
