A-11 Green Bay Press-Gazette Tuesday, July 11, 1972 Fischer, Spassky mm tl Open Play Today REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) is the first foreigner to make it to the finals since 1948. For Fischer, it is a question of money and personal prestige, of proving his claim that he is the best in the world. London oddsmakers rated the lanky American the favorite to win the 24-game, two-month competition and capture more than $180,000 of the estimated $300,000 at stake. The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation, on $78,125, plus another $75,000 of the $120,000 provided by London investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischer to end his holdout last week. Organizers calculate Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another $55,000 from the sale of television and film rights.

Both players stayed in seclusion. Fischer, who favors sleeping in the daytime, was last1 seen at 1 a.m., Monday, when he. visited the sports hall. He demanded that the mahogany playing table be shortened and that the overhead lights be changed. American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russian defender Boris Spassky finally begin play this afternoon in the richest and most publicized world chess championship of all time unless some new snag develops.

Last-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of Reykjavik's sports hall. The playing table was shortened, the green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, originally set to start July 2. Spassky, 35, drew the white chessmen and with them the first move. Fisher, 29, of Brooklyn, N.Y., had the black pieces.

One game will be played each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, starting at noon.CDT. National prestige was at stake for the defending Russian. The Soviet Union subsidizes chess and has dominated the game for decades. Fischer i I i Aw ftV frnm Pnlitlrnl Snona I nnr1 Get out of town while it's with a Marine vacation loan!
