"This Is a very bad development and I am now very pessimistic about the match," said Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE). The reason for the breakup was not immediately disclosed but representatives of Spassky, the reigning world chess champion, said they would explain later at a news conference. "THE RUSSIANS said today they don't want any further talks with the Americans," Euwe said. The talks between representatives of Fischer and Spassky started Tuesday after Spassky triggered the second postponement of the scheduled 24-game series, saying Fischer had insulted him by not showing up for the pre-match ceremonies. He said he would not play until FIDE punished Fischer and Fischer personally apologized.

Officials hoped the match could start Thursday. EARLIER, THE official Soviet New Agency Tass criticized Fischer 'and said he and his backers planned to use a computer to try to win. Spassky's title. The news agency said Fischer's followers had worked out an arrangement with a computer center to transmit each move and the computer would calculate a counter-move. THE CHAMPIONSHIP was scheduled to start Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-year-old chess genius from Brooklyn, failed to turn up, mostly because he wanted more money than, the $125,000 purse put up by the organizers.

All appeared saved when a British millionaire banker and chess fan-dug into his own pocket to offer another $125,000. Fischer was on the next plane to Reykjavik and arrived Tuesday morning, where he quickly left the airport not to be seen since. Came thei draw Tuesday, to see who would play white for the first game and Fischer was asleep. So he sent his second, while Spassky was there in person. The world champion, 35, apparently decided he had had enough of Fischer's antics and issued a statement that said: "FISCHER BROKE the rules of holding the contest by refusing to come for the ceremony of opening the match.

By this, Fischer insulted me, personally, and, the Chess Federation of the U.S.S.R., which I represent." He added that since Fischer had broken the rules he "must bear the just punishment before there is a hope of holding the match.
