12-A PRESS, Binghamton. N.Y. July 12, 1972 Spassky Favored to Make First Game Splash REYKJAVIK. Iceland (AP Defending champion Boris Spassky was favored by the experts to beat American challenger Bobby Fischer in the opening game of the world chess match when play resumes this afternoon. The opener of the richest chess competition in history adjourned Tuesday night after 4 hours and 34 minutes of play and 40 moves by each player.

Referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany will make Spassky's 41st move. The Russian WTote it on a slip of paper and handed it to him in a sealed envelope at the adjournment The two competitors, their seconds and chess enthusiasts throughout the world spent part of the overnight break analyzing possibilities for the 11 pieces remaining on the ereen-and-white chessboard in Reykjavik's sports hall: king and five pawns for Fischer; king, bishop and three pawns and a bishop for Spassky. The match had appeared headed for a draw until Fischer tried to seize the initiative on his 29th move. For the first nine moves, the game was identical to one played in 1951 between Petro-sian and Tolush of the Soviet Union. Two moves later, the queens were exchanged, and the pawn formation was left in exact balance.

More pieces soon went off the board, including all the rooks by the 23rd move. At that point, it seemed only a question of time before one of the players would propose a draw and the other would accept. The chance of error was not worthy of consideration with players of this stature. But it happened. On his 29th turn, Fischer took a pawn that was unprotected.

Both players knew that the bishop which captured the pawn could be trapped. It must be put down to a rare miscalculation by the American genius. Perhaps he had thought of a resource by 32 P-R6, hen the bishop might escape. Spassky could then continue B-KUJ; 34. KxP, BxP; 35, B-Q2, and the black bishop is still lost.

In the remaining moves of the session, Fischer put up all the resistance possible. It remained to be seen whether he could recover from the one error. In iteicribing cfw pliy. 'rc for King. XT tor Kmgnt, for Quttn.
