Fischers Usually Calm Chess Opponent Shows Bit of Nerves By BROENING Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Icland A Russian Boris Spassky, who has a reputation for glacial calm, had an outburst of nerves today, less than a week before he stakes his world chess title against American Bobby Fischer. Spassky stormed off a tennis court and went lo his' hotel lo sulk a three photographers began faking pictures of him with Jivo Nei, a compatriot helping him train lhe malch. "You are ruining our program," Spassky said. "This is a daily routine which I must get on with." Tiie photographers were not interfering with his game.

They stood outside a fence which circles the asphalt court in a schoolyard. The Russian refused requests from the photographers for two minutes of his time, although they promised they would leave afterwards. After. 15 minutes in the hotel, Spassky returned; to the court with Nci, a a bald-headed man with broad shoulders and a cannonball servo. balls for the players, N'ei commenced to thrash Spassky in two straight sets, despite the fact he sometimes' appeared purposely to be i i shots.

Fischer, 29, expected to- arrive Thursday, is a good tennis player and swimmer. He is six years younger than the champion.

Chess players say the loser will be the man who tires first. After more than an hour of Spassky was perspiring freely, as he slipped a brown pullover' over his T-shirt. Speaking with a reporter, Spassky seemed to have forgotten the incident with the photographers, he I dropped bolh sets," said without real concern. Nei offers: doesn't mailer," he said.
