By ISAAC KASIIDAN International Grandmaster The forfe.t by Bobby Fischer in the second game of the world championship chess series ith Boris Spassky probably signals the end of the longawaited encounter. The dispute regarding the television cameras was the latest in a long series of controversies that has plagued the match organizers for months. With a two-point deficit, it is not likely that Fischer will take his seat for the third game, set to begin in Reykjavik at 5 p.m. Sunday.
