1L0R AL8UOUEROUE JOURNAL Sunday. i Bobby Fischer: Profile of a Chess 1 With an unsurpassed memory and encyclopaedic knowledge of the game, Fischer is a great positional player and ferocious attacker. But his complaints about flashbulbs, noise, living conditions and spectator movement has been known to drive tournament directors wild. At one tournament, the Prince of Monaco asked the American Chess Foundation to send two grand masters to a match in Monte Carlo under one condition one of the competition results are better than mine, but competition Is one thing and a challenger's match another." American experts are confident of a Fischer victory. Rosser Reeves, president of the Manhattan Chess Club, said, "Bobby is the strongest player who ever walked the Andrew Soltis of New York, who has played an exhibition with Fischer, said, "You know you're going to lose.

Without any false modesty, he once The Round Champ players had to be Fischer. Two years later there was another request from Monaco but this time the condition was that neither of the two players could be Fischer.

If Fischer ever were to admit that a chess game for him was a challenge, he would acknowledge that he faces his toughest test In Spassky. Before Fischer won the right to meet the Soviet champion by defeating Tigran Petrosian in Buenos Aires last year, Spasskey said, "Fischer's Compaat from for the Money 972 Farmington Man Gets Stream Post SANTA FEW) Gov.

It is Fischer." Fischer's supreme self-confidence has been a major factor in his ability to consistently defeat, overwhelm, outrage and awe his opponents. He has even shed one. In 11, Bobby walked out of a match With former U.S. champion Samuel Rcshevsky, and when judges ruled Fischer had forfeited, he filed suit in New York Supreme Court to bar his opponent from appearing in any other games until the match was completed. Th dispute was typical of Fischer's controversial career but not to be unexpected from a man whose whole life is wrapped up in the 64 squares of the chess board.

Fischer was horn In Chicago, March 9, 1943, and reared in Brooklyn, where his family moved when he was 2. His formal education ended when he dropped out of Krasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn in his junior year. "I couldn't waste my time with all those stupid kids" and with teachers "even stupider than the kids," he said.

Fischer has won an unprecedented string of victories in the past two years and on July 2, in Reykjavik, Iceland, will stare across the board at world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union.
