"That same heartbeat rate showed up in those concentrating on a tough game of chess." FISCHER, 29, has trained as physically hard the match, set to begin Sunday in Reykjavik, Iceland, as any athlete. His daily regimen includes morning calisthenics in front of his television set, followed by swimming, tennis and bowling.

Russia lias about 4 million chess players who compete in tournaments, America about 25,000. But Fischer is our big hope to win the world championships.
