With the apartment in Brooklyn all to himself, Fischer slept late, studying as many as 50 foreign chess magazines each month, dabbling in palmistry, listening to rock and roll, relaxing with ping-pong, bowling and swimming. In 1961 Mrs. Jacqueline Piati. gorsky, a wealthy chess patron, put up a purse of $8,000 for a match between Fischer and Reshevsky to decide once and for all who was the better player.

With the score tied, Fischer forfeited the match by not showing up for the 12th game. The schedule had been altered to Sunday morning instead of Saturday night, to enable Mrs. Piatigorsky to attend a cello concert given by her husband Gregor that evening. A late riser, Fischer asked to have the game postponed until Sunday afternoon, explaining that he just couldn't play good chess in the morning. This time Reshevsky stood by the letter of his rights and refused to agree to a postponement.

Frank Brady, author of a biography of Fischer called "Profile of a Prodigy," was then editor of Chess Live and got fired for backing Fischer in a scathing editorial: "Must our top players perform like pet dogs without a voice or an opinion or where they will play and what time they will play-simply because someone else has paid the piper?" Fischer made up with Mrs. Piatigorsky, but for a long time he and Reshevsky were not on speaking terms. Although Fischer's integrity and refusal, to compromise have sometimes cost him dearly, his defiance of chess authorities and his demands for better playing conditions have raised the professional standards of the game. "I'm tired of seeing chessplayers treated like bums," he says. In those days Fischer was broken, but he turned down $1,000 to pose in front of a Steinway piano.

He felt it would be wrong to endorse an instrument he didn't know how to play. Fischer, however, will endorse products he believes in, like transistor radios, which he lugs around the world. He told Life magazine: "I want to get some money together All these athletes making hundreds of thousands of dollars Contracts, endorsements. If there's room for all of them, there ought to be room for one of me. But so far he has turned down every lucrative offer.

In 1967 Prince Rainier requested two American grandmasters for an international tournament in Monaco. There was one condition: one of the two had to be Bobby Fischer. Fischer won the tournament but made himself unpopular by acting like a prima donna. Two years later the Americans received another request for two players. Again there was a condition: neither of the two should be Bobby Fischer.

In 1968 officials at the chess away from spectators. Fischer was so annoyed that he deserted the American team and holed up "to plot my revenge if I ever come back." He visited his mother in England and then moved to Los Angeles, where he brooded and stayed out of active competition for 18 months. A voracious chess student, he continued to read everything he could lay his hands on acquiring a smattering of Spanish, German, Serbo-Croatian and Russian in order to make sense out of chess periodicals in those languages. He shut people out of his life "who needs complications?" Frustrated, there must have been times when he wished he owned a miniature computer programmed to play chess. This was the low point of his career.

Copyright King Features Syndicate, 1972. By LARRY EVANS Fourth of Five Parts In 1958 Bobby Fischer antagonized many of his earliest and most enthusiastic backers by refusing to play for the U.S. squad at the chess Olympiad held in Munich. Fischer, who was then 15, insisted on bis rights as U.S. champion, refusing to yield first board to Sammy Reshevsky, who was then 47 and the darling of the old guard.

Two years later his mother picketed the White House, chaining herself to the gate to call attention to the need for funds to send an American Olympiad team to Leipzig. In the finals. Fischer was high scorer on first board; Russia's then-world champion, Mikhail Tal, barely escaped with a draw against him. Acutely embarrassed by his mother's militancy, Fischer withdrew further into his shell. Shortly thereafter she joined a group of idealists on a peace walk to Russia and married one of the marchers.

She and her husband later moved to England. Meanwhile his sister, Joan, tall, pretty, sensitive, married a scientist and moved to California. Hermit-like and insulated from people, Bobby surrounded himself with chess books and electronic equipment. He sel Chess- Big League Sport? move In one of his semi-final matches in Buenos Aires. PENSIVE Bobby Fischer's lips ar sealed' as ha contemplates his opening INC nWEST NEW YORK (AP) Promotional aspects of the Spassky world championship chess match are becoming as important as they are in any big league sport.

Chess matches are not usually world happenings. But with, the keen interest sparked by American Bobby Fischer challenging Russian Boris Spassky for the world title, it's a different situation. The Icelandic Chess Federation has put up close to for the 24-game match, to be held for two months in Reykjavik, Iceland, starting July 2. The games will be played in the Reykjavik Sportshall. which seats about 3,000 people.

The match will be open to the public, and tickets will cost $5 a game or $75 for the 24 scheduled games. Of the $200,000 put up, some $125,000 will be paid in prizes to the players, according to the federation. Fischer, 29, and Spassky, 35, will also divide 60 per cent of the income from films and television. The federation has signed a 99-year contract with Chester Fox and Inc. for exclusive worldwide visual rights, including rights to film the match and still photos of the match taken inside the Sportshall; Fox and tne federation will split the profits equally.

The price Fox paid for the rights is undisclosed. But he did say he would have to spend some $300,000 for the color filming. "I guess it's a coup, but it's quite an undertaking," Fox said in New York. He has asked for bids from interested television stations in countries throughout the world. He is concerned with the highest bidders in each country, and if a contract is signed, he will send them film clips as the match progresses.

"We'll be negotiating straight through Sunday and beyond. said Fox, adding he has used a sliding scale depending on the country. However, in the United States, Channel 13-WNDT. New York, and TelePrompter Cable T.V. have planned programs discussing the action at the match, without the use of the Fox film.

Channel 13 plans a move-by-move commentary and analysis on the match, by chess 'master Shelby Lyman, who will work from a studio in Albany, N.Y. using vertical boards to illustrate the moves. The extensive coverage would start Sunday, July 2 and run from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., nationally. It would continue three times a week throughout the match, with shorter broadcasts Tuesday and Thursday for cities on the Eastern seaboard.

Richard Gitter, lawyer for Channel 13-WNDT, said Fox and the federation threatened to go to court if these plans were not abandoned. It's been very hectic. There's a lot of interest in it, more so in the rest of the world than in the U.S." said Fox, who adds that the only two countries which have sent cables saying they would not bid" are Kuwait and Jordan. "We've spoken with Tass, briefly There hasn't been that much interest from the Russians," says Fox, adding that he will not name countries negotiating, or those which have signed contracts, until negotiations are finalized. In the United States.

ABC has contracted for exclusive film rights. The Fox film segments will be shown Saturdays on the ABC program, "Wide World of Sports." Fox declined to say how much ABC paid for the rights. He did comment that he has not suggested bid prices for those interested. "I find the news media have their own way of evaluating this.
