3D Hopeless Fischer Resigns Takes fetf a me Thursday, July 131972 Spassky Clfoess A -1 Fred Cramer, a U.S. Chess Federation official who went backstage to talk to Fischer, said the American had complained about the presence of movie cameras in the back of the hall. They were about 150 feet away and seemed inaudible from, where Fischer sat. Fischer's walkout lasted about half an hour. Fischer had two hours from the start of the adjourned game to make 12 moves.

A half hour after the game resumed Fischer had made three moves. The summertime fake-along for tapes. Fischer rolled down the window and said, "I'm sorry for what happened. It will settle down." Then he drove away to the air-conditioned seclusion of his $G3-a-day hotel suite. Outside the hall Fischer was asked about a report from London that financier James Slater might not be able to get about $120,000 worth of promised prize money out of England because of British currency restrictions.

"No comment," Fischer said. It was Slater's last-minute offer of more money which ended Fischer's two-day holdout at the scheduled start of the match. Fischer resigned after Spassky's 56th move. It was an hour and three minutes after the adjourned game was resumed in the sports palace. At the end, Fischer had a king and two pawns against Spassky's king, bishop and one pawn.

Fischer began by trying to advance two passed pawns on his king's side down to the last rank. Spassky stopped him without trouble. The American then shifted his effort to the queen's side where Spassky had two blocked pawns. Spassky's bishop could have protected one of them until doomsday with his bishop which controlled the diagonal. The opening game of the world championship was adjourned Tuesday night after 40 moves.

Fischer and the defending champion from Russia left the table with the American in a difficult position. Spassky's 41st move was written on a sup of paper, put in a sealed envelope at the tlose of play Tuesday night and given to Chief Referee Lot ha Schmid of West Germany. i ceremoniously opened the envelope at 5 p.m., lp.m. EDT and made Spassky's move. After five minutes of play and several indecisive moves by both men, Fischer popped up, spoke animatedly to Schmid and stalked offstage.

Schmid followed him off. There wasn't much material left on the board after the exchange. As a difficult end-game commenced Fischer had a king and four pawns, Spassky a king, two pawns and a bishop. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) World champion Boris Spassky won the first game Wednesday in his world title chess series against American Bobby Fischer. Fischer, in a hopless position, resigned.

Fischer's resignation came after he had staged a walkout, apparently in objection to movie cameras in the back of 1 the hall He stormed offstage and did not return for 30 minutes. Then a while later, Fischer indicated he had given up by reaching over and stopping the clock. Park bench players usually do it by turning their king on its side. 1 He shook hands with Spassky and before he left, Fischer turned and waved to the crowd. The spectators applauded Spassky.
