1.1 A ODlIuilhit tlMltiud Thursday, July IS, 1972 Fischer Error Leads To Victory For Spassky Spassky Team Finds Fischer Flaw camcrumun was training a cumera on him from the roof. He protested and said he would not resume play until the cumera was removed. For 32 minutes the gume stood In abeyunce, and in the interim, Fischer's clock was going. However, he had plenty of time. Fred Kramer, vice-president of the American Zone of the World Chess Federation, called In the police and the cameraman was ordered away.

When play, was resumed, Fischer's position went downhill rapidly until he reached a point, where he was unable to move without material loss. Desperately he shifted his king over to the other wing and did Indeed succeed in removing one of the yj', v. x- SO THE score now stands: Spassky, Fischer, 0, and the favorite has met with un unexpected defeat. Nevertheless, this Is what happened to him last yeur In his flnul match In the candidates series against Petro-slan at Buenos Aires, and he still won that match easily. Will he recover his nerve In today's game when he has the white pieces: I have the feeling that Fischer Is very much like the wounded lion who Is never so dangerous as when he Is first wounded.

We shall see. One thing is certain, the match Is very much alive. Harry Golombek, international chess grandmaster, has been three times British chess champion and a judge in six previous world chess championship matches. He is chess correspondent for the Times of By HARRY GOLOMBEK Wiihlntlon Put DltMlcN REYKJAVIK Although when play was adjourned Tuesday night after 40 moves the result seemed unclear and champion Boris Spassky's winning possibilities uncertain, an overnight analysis by his assistant trio of grandmasters Efjim Geller, Nikolai Kroglus and NeJ showed that challenger Bobby Fischer's position was not really tenable in the first game of the world chess championship. The first few moves of the play off went much as anticipated, but then Fischer's defense became more and more difficult.

With a few short sharp strokes Spassky beat back his opponent's king. THEN CAME a dramatic suspension of play. Fischer observed that a i From I'ntfo 1 game resumed on time, but Fischer walked out after three moves to protest the two television cameras Mitch organizers covered the cameras with a cloth, but Fischer said they still bothered him. Spassky, wearing a slate Jacket and beige trousers, made the first move Wednesday, taking one of Fischer's remaining pawns. Fischer then took a pawn from Spassky with his king.

After 40 moves and four and a half hours of play Tuesday, Spassky held the advantage with a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns. Play was halted when Spassky asked for an adjournment anU Fischer agreed. Experts agreed that only the Russian master could win the first ga)ne. They said the best Fischer coold hope for was a draw.

Spassky won three of the games and two were draws, but most of those games were before Fischer had reached his present peak. Fischer, 29, arrived for Tuesday's opening game eight minutes after Spassky, playing the white pieces, had made his first move. The American challenger responded to Spassky's offer of a queen's gambit by setting up a Nimzo-Indlan defense. THE TWO exchanged major pieces, including the queens In the 11th and 12th moves of the game. Playing briskly, Fischer pulled a bishop back to queen two on the 14th move to prepare the way for active use of his rooks.

Then Fischer made a move that most experts said ended his chance of winning the game. The American took Spassky's king rook pawn with his bishop, but left his last remaining major piece trapped. The soft spoken Spassky then showed why he Is world champion by taking Fischer's bishop while losing only two of his pawns. CHESS experts could not explain why Fischer moved into what appeared to be a trap by Spassky. "He took a chance to win," said Danish grandmaster Jens Enveolds-en.

Fischer, obviously displeased with his playing, fidgeted in his special swivel chair and frequently got up and walked behind the stage.
