At stake is not only an awesome Jpurse of $138,500 plus lucrative film and TV rlfihts, but roviei cness supremacy useir. Fisdher is the first non-Russian challencer for th Kvorld's chess championship in a quarter of a century. le won that right by breezing throueh a series of hualifylng tournaments. In 1971, Soviet fans were startled and disconcerted by the ease with which the young American won the andldates' Tournament In Buenos Aires.

I was Fischer's second in Buenos Aires. There was just this little squib in their papers about it. But there was a local championship that they put in headlines. If Petrosian had beaten me, then there would have been headlines. "I was even put down In my own country.

Americans really don't know much about chess. So they listen to other people. But I think if when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater Interest in chess. Americans like winners. "THE UNITED STATES is not a cultural country.

The people here want to be entertained. They don't want any mental strain, and chess is a high intellectual form. Americans want to plunk down in 1 front of a TV and not have to open a book. "But now President Nixon just sent me a Jetter saying that America is backing me. The U.S.

is getting kicked around in the world. I am representing us, the entire free world, in fact, in a kind of grudge match against the Communists." Fischer's opponent, the stocky, square-jawed, chain-smoking Spassky, is something of a maverick himself. Fischer comes from a broken family. So does Spassky, who was orphaned at 5 when both his parents were killed in the siege of Leningrad. Like Fischer, fi hires and a top Soviet chessmaster told me.

"At home hey don't understand. They think it means there's Piece Group $77 tZ 2 arm I 4 lid chairi Dining Room table, lomethlng wrong with our culture." Francesca ELATED BY HIS victory over Petrosian. Fischer oked: "I think I'll send Snasskv a telecram. on winning the right to meet me for the k3 World Championship." If Fischer wins, it would be like Russia winning the Super Bowl. Budget your dollars not your decorating sense! Classic Italian is spoken here! Feast your eyes on this Interest is at fever pitch in Russia, where chess is he national pastime and Bobby the most popular foreign celebrity since the pianist Van Cliburn.

One soviet expert said: "We have been dominant so long in fine Italian collection hess and have gotten so used to winning that I think it Spassky is Jewish. as made us complacent. There are no great names lese days. No young players are coming up. It would a good thing if Fischer takes the title from passky." cydut Torthti tfjt- ivio UJtoddn uttiAuJL ItiuJid curio wd 1 Jktiia 6 Aorta.

TW7f1 SPASSKY HAS CONSISTENTLY refused to join the Communist Party and has also often been at odds with the Russian chess authorities. Last year, while competing in Canada, he was refused permission to give a lecture an dexhibition tour in the U.S. "I wish I were as free as the American players," Spassky told a Western reporter. Spassky bears a big burden. "It's hard for me to say who will win this match," he conceded recently.

"I would not care to make any prediction. I like Fischer's style very much. I like the purity of his play very logical. His personality is very explosive. He's a real fanatic.

I feel fond of him." Copyright King Features Syndicate, 1972 'Duplicate? On 24 Beginning July 2, all Sunday matches of the Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky chess contest for the world's championship, will be televised over Orlando's Channel 24. Although the telecasts will not be live from Iceland, chess professionals have duplicated the setting and will make each move as it is made by Fischer or Spassky. Play will begin approximately at 1 p.m. and proceed to a decision or adjournment at 6 p.m. Commentaries by world experts will keep listeners informed of the trend of each game.

Weekday games will not be televised. BUT THIS ATTITUDE is far from typical. For fears the official Soviet line has been that Fischer is a Crybaby and a loudmouth. The Soviet press has never forgiven him for charging that their players ganged up nd cheated him out of a crack at the title in a Candidates' Tournament at Curacao in 1962. Fischer caused the Russians of consulting during games and drawing with each other to conserve their energy.

While 'leading a similar event in Tunisia in 1967, isher walked out over a scheduling dispute with the Russians. I Recently Fischer said: "They cheat in other sports, noJ just chess. The funniest if you think it's funny df Jwith their track athletes. Some women! They take Wale hormone injections. The Russians have been committing international crimes for so long spreading lies and political propaganda all over the world, cheating at sports someone has to stop them.

I've been chosen. I intend to teach them a little hujiility. "I JUST READ an attack on me by Botvinnik, the lejfeworld champion, in a Russian magazine. He said he wire writing it in the interest of truth. He said I was capricious, conceited, paranoid, that IJacked principles rtd was not sufficient as a human being.
