103 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Russian Boris Spassky has agreed to drop his demand that American Bobby Fischer be penalized one game for delaying the start of the world championship chess match, U.S. chess sources said today. Fred Cramer, a vice-president of the U.S. Chess Federa tion, said Spassky and Fischer worked out the details of their agreement in a backstage room In Reykjavik's main sports hail yesterday, a few minutes before the two met publicly to draw lots to see who would get the first move. Before the meeting, the Russian Chess Federation had de manded Fischer be ordered to forfeit the first game because he caused the first postponement.

At that time, the match was scheduled to begin July 9, one week late. Cramer said that to salve Soviet pride, Fischer agreed to postpone the start until Tuesday if Spassky would drop the The Men At The Top BOBBY FISCHER As a youngster, I remember watching an Easter Week procession Ht Les Halles, Belgium. A group of marchers, dressed In friars' garb, walked through demand for a forfeit. Spassky and Fischer will play the first game in the tournament Tuesday. Spassky, a handsome Leningrad journalist who makes a living playing chess the year around, will make the first move.

He won the draw last night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move. The 29-year-old American will play black in the first game. In succeeding games they alternate. Despite the charges and countercharges exchanged between the two camps, there was no sign of personal animosity between the two.

It was a form of penance What impressed roe most was that they moved two steps for ward, then one step back. Chess aficiniados, watching the progress of Bobby Fischer, find a parallel.

KAGE A at the Brooklyn Chess Club and quickly established himself as a Wunderkind. At 14, he won the U.S. Junior Championship, the U.S. Open and the U.S. Championship.

Since then, he has won this latter tournament whenever he played in it. Bobby's presence in the chess world has been a stormy one. He has Jought with the press, denigrated the play of other great masters past and present, accused the Russians of cheating by ganging up on their opposition. He has been enraged by the comparatively petty cash rewards that ace chess players, especially Bobby Fischer, have received. He has sometimes refused to play at all without a starter's fee.

Grandmaster Hans Kmoch, an Austrian who emigrated to the U.S., remarked sadly: "Finally the U.S. produces its greatest chess genius and he turns out to be a stubborn boy." What never has been explained is the step backward Fischer has made by avoiding playing in the finals of Candidates' matches. (These are the matches that' lead up to the World Championship.) He qualified easily and could have had a crack at the world title years ago. Was it fear? Fear of what? Bobby has been proclaiming for years that he is the world's best player, He probably is. When he is moving forward, he tramples over everybody.

Virtually nothing matters to him except chess. He reads everything there is to be read about the game, studies it, absorbs or discards what he has read. His opening skill is unique, and his retentive memory for all the games he has played is absolutely fantastic. The only possible criticism one might make on his play is that his endings are not always perfect. What happened recently to make Bobby take virtually all his steps forward on his way to establishing that he is the "real" champion of the world? Much of the credit must go to a man who decided to make it his business to see that Fischer's path was smoothed.

Bobby has always made specific demands: Lighting must be so good that no shadows of the pieces fall on the board. Quiet must prevail. He has to be paid and paid well by chess standards. When his terms weren't met, he usually didn't play. 4 Lt.

Col. Edmund Edmondson (USAF, business man-'ager of the U.S. Chess Federation, placed himself at Fischer's side. He saw to it that the young genius got his Coke, his orangeade, his milk, his sandwich often before Bobby knew he wanted it. Edmondson looked over playing sites months before a match in order to be sure they met Bobby's exacting standards.

He sought out the quietest and most comfortable hotel rooms. (Fischer tends to work all night on chess positions, going to sleep about 6 a.m.) It was Edmondson who made the transportation a a ngements and who dickered on financial terms. In 1970, Edmondson spent four months with Fischer as the latter slashed through the Border Tiles Along the Wall Can Be Cut With Ordinary Scissors 'ADMIRAL" emmn sinks SNOW-WHITE COMPLETE WITH MIXING FAUCET and CHROME BASKET SINK STRAINER Sink Tops Ar.
