Still, there is little doubt he would be made to feel his government's displeasure. What would happen if he loses the world championship to an American? Spassky has a lot to lose. His present He, by Soviet standards is nothing short of luxurious. Spassky lives with hi second wife, and their 4-year-old son on the fifth floor of a 25-story VIP apartment building in Moscow. More, he has consistently refused to join the Communist party and he was outspokenly critical of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, which could hardly have pleased Soviet authorities since he was widely quoted to the Western press.

All of which might be quite acceptable if he were considered in good form. But of late," 'he has appeared to be playing considerably Ms usual game. International chess experts currently; see Fischer as the favorite to win by as much as three.to is- even mare optimistic. "Three to one?" lie said of the most recent prediction. "Those people don't know what they're talking about The odds ought to to one at least!" On past performance, that would be a hard position to defend.

Spassky and Fischer have played five in Of those, Spassky has three, two were draws. But chess is not horse ing. Past dom, if ever, a reliable index of chess player's actual goes to the board. For one 'thing, Fischer has been competing of late as though he wsre leading some kind of crusade. Ever since he burst upon the international chess world by winning the championship in 1958 at the age of 14 --he has attracted criticism, comment and controversy.

People tend to be facinated by Mm. His disposition would have to improve by several degrees to be called merely impossible. And his public pronouncements would have to be all but bowdlerized to make them only arrogant and viciously insulting. He is not popular in Russia. The controlled press there calls him brash, conceited, selfish, temperamental, jealous and uneducated.

He is only slightly better liked in the United States. The Los Angeles Free Press (a large-circulation underground newspaper) here has characterized him as "a 29-year-old child," "a spoiled brat" and "A complete pain in the fundament." Spassky is characterized as ''affable, easygoing, friendly and charming," Bobby as "a sullen, rude, complaining hysteric" and "a loner who lives only for chess," with "all the warmth of a hooded cobrs." Their chess strategies, too, are supposed to be wildly different: Spassky is called the "universal player whose rich in- tuition enables him to effect sharp tactical turns in a fluid, involved position." Fischer is supposed to be "a positional genius whose strong point is. rapid appraisal and accurate calculation of variations." Which is all very neat and tidy but misses the underlying truth of the matter by a considerable margin. For everyone apparently has become so fascinated with the differences between Spassky and Fischer that the similarities are overlooked. And these two men are a lot more alike than they are different.

Both came from broken Bobby's parents were divorced when he was two old: Spassky's were se- parted (and later killed) during the World War siege of Leningrad. Both learned the game early. Fischer was six when his sister bought a chess set and taught him the moves from the instructions. Spassky was taught chess at an orphanage when he was Both- showed, considerable learly promise" Spassky was a first-degree player at 10 and an international grandmaster- at Fischer was beating'; ant comers at '10-second chess when he was 10, was a grandmaster at 13 and won the U.S. championship a year later.

Both are strong and emotional competitors. Spassky burst into tears, when he lost an important match in 1957, Fischer was still weeping publicly over a loss or a misplay until a few years ago. And most important of all, perhaps their methods of play are not as dissimilar as they might seem on the surface. Styles among the grand- masters tend to reflect their various personalities. Fischer and Spassky are classicists in the tradition of the great Jose R.

Capablanca. Their best games are models of beautiful, clear, remorseless chess with the emphasis on logic, (and sometimes the long-delayed boobytrap) falling always just short of recklessness. Mitchells leave posh club together RYE, N.Y. (UPI) Martha and John Mitchell ducked out the backdoor of a posh country club today and sped way in a limousine after 48 hours of apparent conciliatory talks. Their destination was unknown.

Mrs. Mitchell, who threatened to leave her husband unless he quit his post as head of the committee to re-elect President Nixon, was joined at the club by the former attorney general Monday and neither left their room until the abrupt backdoor exit. Calling herself a "political prisoner," Mrs. Mitchell earlier had issued Mitchell an ultimatum to quit politics and shortly thereafter he traveled from Washington to the Westchester Country Club to discuss with her what aides said was "a personal matter." "I'm leaving aim until he decides 'to leave the cam- paip," Mrs. Mitchell said Sunday.

"I love my husband very much, but I'm not going stand for all those dirty things that go on." The re-election committee had assigned a security agent to assist Mrs. Mitchell. She said Sunday the man had telephone-out of her hand in her room at Newport Beach, Calif. Thursday night when she was talking to UPI reported Helen Thomas. She also said five guards threw her onto a bed "and stuck a needle in my behind." "It's horrible to me," she said at the time.

"I have been through so much. I don't like it. Martha isn't going to stand for it." Committee officials said Mitchell had no intention of giving up leadership of the reelection drive despite his wife's unhappiness.
