Bobby Rules As U.S. Chess Champ at 14 NEW YORK James Fischer, Brooklyn's gift to international cggheadism, a Ihtre in shirtsleeves, tieless, biting his dirty fingernails, chewing his tongue, twisting his lanky schoolboy, legs against the chair rungs as hla gray eyes swept up and down the chessboard. Across the narrow room, in another final-round game of the tournament for the coveted U.S.

chess championship, sat the great Samuel Reshevsky, an International Grandmaster and long regarded as one of the world's greatest players. Reshevsky was a study in poise and confidence in a neat blue suit, cigarette perched between two fingers, arms folded, eyes blink ing behind brown-rin. glasses, his bald and bulging head shining a bit in the fluorescent lighting. He sal beneath a portrait of himself, the only decoration on the gray walls of the tolirnsmeht room of the 80-year-old Manhattan Chess Club. On the archway entrance was pasted a penciled sign: "Spectators are requested not to snore In the tournament roam." This civilized way of yelling "Quiet-" was the only touch of humor as three nerve-wracking weeks of chess play reached climax.

It was the first national championship tournament in three years. The 14 top players including Bobby i in his purple- striped shirt, brown corduroy pants, blue socks, and heavy shoes each played the others once. Late In the evening there was winner and new champ, Bobby Fischer. The miracle had happened. For Bobby Is only Reshevsky finished in second place.

Bobby Is a very quiet boy. His reaction at the moment of winning was typical. He looked at his mother and said, "Let's go home." Bobby. last summer won the U.S. Open Championship.

With this new, and top, title he is eligible to- be declared an International Grandmaster and compete for the world championship, now held by Vassily Smyslov of Russia.
