Q6 K-KT4 RESIGNS (Symbols: In British American usage, each move in a chess match is recorded using letters for each chess piece and numbers for each squre 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; KT knight; rook; pawn. An between letters indicates the first piece captured the second.

0 indicates castling. "CH" indicates "check" or that the king is threatened with capture.) two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spassky's 56th move his king approached the jam on the queen's sideFischer resigned. He reached over and stopped his clock.

He offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out pausing once to wave to the audience, which was applauding the Russian. Fischer left the hall by the stage door whitefaced and hurried to a waiting car. From the car he spotted John Collins, a paraplegic sitting a few feet away in a wheel chair. Collins taught Fischer the game. FISCHER rolled down the' car window and said, "I'm sorry.

It will settle down." He left immediately for his air conditioned hotel suite. Fred Cramer, a U.S. Chess Federation i i al who sometimes speaks for Fischer, said the American would take some strenuous physical exercise Wednesday night to get in shape for his second game with Spassky on Thursday. When Spassky left, a crowd shouted congratulations. The Russian came to the hall Wednesday expecting to win, his associates reported.

He was unruffled throughout his faultless chess play. ROBERT BYRNE, a U.S. grandmaster and second-ranked player in the United States, said after the game: "It isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." Under scoring rules, one point is awarded for a victory and a half point goes to each player for a draw. As defending champion, Spassky needs only 12 points in the 24 games to retain his title.

year Soviet monopoly. Fischer has played six games with Spassky and has yet to win. He lost four times playing the black pieces and drew twice when he played white and had first move. Fischer plays white Thursday. WITH A ONE-UP leg on the score, Spassky gained an im-p a psychological advantage in the view of experts like former Yugoslav cham pion Svetozar Gligoric.

Experts observed the course of the play was astonishing in retrospect: Spassky made no attempt to hasten exploitation of the slight advantage which the white pieces and first move gave him. Until Fischer's costly pawn capture at the 29th move on Tuesday, the game proceeded dully, with Spassky inviting exchanges and the prospect of a colorless draw. SPASSKY (W) 1. P-Q4 2. QB4 3.

After the game was over FUcher told the man who taught him the moves of the game when he was a boy in Brooklyn, N. that "it will settle down." It was a bad day all around for the 29-year-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, who sweetened the pot with 50,000 pounds about $120,000 wouldn't be able to get his money out of England because of currency restrictions. Slater's donation, which pushed the total prize money Worth of Women Now Proclaimed By Acting Chief we to $300,000, enticed Fischer to end his holdout at the scheduled start of the match July 2.

Asked about Slater's problem, Fischer snapped, "No comment." 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 would give him only a draw at best. Spassky had his king, a bishop 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 Wednesday, Spassky captured the pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by 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 is backstage dressing room where he told Schmid, who followed him, that he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the chess board was ordered shut off. It was barely visible from where Fischer sat.

Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes while his clock continued to devour time. He returned to continue the struggle, making his 44th move, an ineffectual sidestep with his king. 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, where OOOOOOOOOQ WATCH FOR OUR OPENING I Sat.
