'DAILY PRESS, NKWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING. JULY 13. 1072 Bobby Fischer Loses First Chess Game nSHMBMMMI 1 yett Your Happy Shopping Store When Spassky left, a crowd shouted congratulations. The Russian came to the hall Wednesday expecting to win, his associates reported. He was unruffled throughout his faultless chess play.

Robert Byrne, a U.S. grand-master and second-ranked player in the United States, said after the game: "It isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." Under scoring rules, one point is awarded for a victory and a half point goes to each player for a draw. A defending champion, Spassky needs only 12 points in the 24 games to retain his title. Fischer must score 12 1 to seize it and put an end to a 24-year Soviet monopoly.

Fischer has played six Spassky's 5Uth movehis king approached the jam on the queen's side Fischer resigned. He reached over and slopped his chick. He offered Spassky his hand, folded his score card and walked out pausing once to wave to the audience, which was applauding the Russian. Fischer left the hall by the stage door whitefaced and hurried to a waiting car. From the car he spotted John Collins, a paraplegic silting a few feet away in a wheel chair.

Collins taught Fischer the game. Fischer rolled down the car window and said, "I'm sorry. It will settle down." He left immediately for his air conditioned hotel suite. Fred Cramer, a U.S. Chess Federation official who sometimes speaks for Fischer, said the American would take some strenuous physical exercise Wednesday night to get in shape for his second game with Spassky on Thurday.

IlEYKJAVIK, Ireland (AP) Willi a Impflews portion on the chews board, Ilohhy Fischer walked out for minutes Wed.io.sdiiy, then returned to lose the first game of the world chess cliumpion-tship to Boris Spassky, the Russian tltleholder. After thj game was over Fischer told the man who taught him the moves of the game when he was a boy in Brooklyn, N.Y., that "it will settle down." It was a bad day all around for the 29-year-old American. I addition to conceding Spassky a 1-0 lead in the score at the outset of the 24-gamc match, Fischer developed some more money trouble. News from London was that James Slater, who sweetened the pot with 50,000 poinds about $120,000 wouldn't be able to get his money out of England because of currency restrictions. Slater's donation, which pushed the total prize money Suddenly after five miiut.es of play and some indecisive sparring, Fischer stood, spoke animatedly to chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and disappeared with hl.s long rolling gaR through the beige curtains offstage left.

Fischer strode to his backstage dressing room where be told Schmid, who followed him, that he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the chess board was ordered shut off. It was barely visible from where Fischer sat. Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes while his clock continued to devour time. He returned to continue the struggle, making his 44th move, an ineffectual sidestep with his king.

In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range.

Asked about Slater's problem, Fischer snapped, "No comment." The play lasted only one hour and three minutes, Jt was the continuation of a game begun Tuesday and adjourned after 40 moves with Fischer in a position the experts said would give him only a draw at best.

Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn when play concluded Tuesday night. In the first move Wednesday, Spassky captured the pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the gams turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king.
