REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPIj After two weeks of behind-the-scenes diplomacy and much talking, Bobby Fi.scher and Boris Spassky have agreed to get down to their real business playing chess. Tlie match for the world title, now held by the 35-year-old Russian, will begin Tuesday in the Icelandic capital. The winner sets $150,000 and the loser $100,000. Spassky, a handsome Leningrad journalist who makes a Hv- ing playing chess the year around, will make the first move. He won the draw last night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move.

The 29-year-old American will play black in the first game. In succeeding games they alternate. DESPITE THE CHARGES and countercharges exchanged between the two camps there was no sign of personal animosity between the two. When Spassky was introduced at the draw, Fischer applauded. And when the challenger, dressed in a green suit and red tie, was presented, Spassky gave him a big hand.

As they shook hands at the end of the ceremony, Spassky held on to Fischer's hand and said, "And good luck." The ceremony confirmed that all the problems that delayed the match for nine days finally had been settled. It began with Fischer refusing to come to Iceland for the originally scheduled start July 2 because he was not happy with the financial terms. -HT-TT 1 i I Jc: vVf I DANISH r.J?31" MODERN I PC. sort OR sof vtu ouinr BEDROOM 'fM-r-f-DOUBlf DRESSER WITH MIRROR SPACIOUS CHEST PANfl BFD'C 4 ftnf Sof Ok SO 129 MArfHiNG CHAiH MATCHING ABIES SPRING AND MATTRESS JJ Crows Longer Hair in 25 Days or rftoney Bock!

Dubeck ponders his next move. Mn-(o)fo)nTfn(o) aih Ld uua UVJ Lix uvuyjuu liiiLiaLb 1972 EMERSON Local Expert Likes Fischer By LEE DANIELS Dr. Leroy Dubeck, president of the American Chess Federation, thinks U.S. chess phenom Bobby Fischer will win the world's chess championship in twenty games. The match, in which Fischer is to face champion Boris Spassky, of the Soviet Union, is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Reykjavik, Iceland, after being postponed once for Fischer and again for Spassky in separate disputes.

"Bcbby is a chess genius," Dubeck, a Temple University physics professor said. "He throws every ounce of himself into a chess game, Boris does not. That's all I'd care to say publicly." DUBECK HAS DONE considerable research into the mental and physical stress of major chess competition. He knows Fischer and Spassky personally and has watched each perform many times. "But this match has received so much publicity it will make the pressure that much greater," he said.

"Then there is the $250,000 in prize money. These two are undoubtedly the two best living chess players in the world and tremendous prestige is involved." Dubeck believes both Fischer, 29, and Spassky, 35, are at the peak of their games. He said a grandmaster usually reaches his peak in his early 30s. Fischer, he said, Is the highest rated chess player in the world by the World Chess Federation because he has done better in" international competition. 1972 ET-KOOL BRAND NEW 1972 WHIRLPOOL 8,000 B.T.U.
