There were unconfirmed reports the Russians wanted Fischer to be penalized with a loss of the first game. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest.

Officials announced a new 48-hour postponement of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both players would be ready to meet on Thursday. Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday. The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department.

The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting and intolerable.

But he and his wife of 57 years will reserve the special flag for special occasions. "We adhere to the rule in displaying the flag," she said. "When it is at half mast over the nation, ours is too. "If it's a little late going up in the morning, neighbors phone to see if we're all right," she continued. "And if we go away on vacation, they see to it that the flag gets put up and taken down every day." Murray, busy watching a televised baseball game, acknowledged he isn't as active as he used to be.

My frank opinion: I'd do the dame thing all over again, because I enjoyed being free, liked the pretty girls, and have some darn wonderful memories to look back at.
