Sr. Petersburg Timet. Sunday. July 2, 1972 5-C CHE AliiS! Fischer Vs. Russian History New Orleans and waa knows aa a strong player at the age of 12.

Whea ae was 2t he wo a major touraameat In New York and the foltowiaf year he sailed to Earope to challenge Aadensea for the world title. While he still was recognized aa world champion, he stopped playing and disappeared from the chess scene. He died at age 47. After Morphy came such players as Wtlhelm Steinitz of Czechoslovakia the first universally recognized world champion Emanuel Lasker of Germany and Capablanca, the Cuban who learned to play when he was four years old and became in the eyes of many experts the world's greatest player ever. He finally lost, his title to Aljechin.

Aljechin, a Russian who lived in exile in Paris, ruled as champion from 1927 to his death in Portugal In 1946 with the exception of two years from 1935 when Max Euwe, a Dutch teacher, held the title. He took it from the Russian, but lost it in a return match. After Aljechln's death, the World Chess Federation (FIDE) organized a title tour-nament Involving the world's six leading players. Reuben Fine of the United States had been nominated to play, but could not participate. Michall Botvinnlk won the tournament and the title and became the first in an unbroken string of Russian champions Vassily Smyslov, Michael Tal, Tigran Petrosian and Spassky.

REYKJAVIK (UPI) If Bobby Fischer defeats Boris Spassky In the world championship chess match, he will become only the second American to win the world tide. A victory for Spassky, the current champion from the Soviet Union, would only confirm the Russian domination of the game which has lasted since 1927 when Alexander Al-jechln took the title away from the legendary Jose Raoul Capablanca of Cuba. F. A. Phllidor, a French composer of many talents, became known as the world's best chess player in the middle of the 18th century.

But the world title was not introduced until 1851 when Adolf Anderssen, a 30-year-old German professor, won the first major international tournament in London. He lost his title seven years later to America's first and only world champion, Paul iMorphy, who won eight games and lost three. Morphy't early career was In some ways similar to that of Fischer. He was bora in Oldest Game? REYKJAVIK (UPI) The origin of chess is uncertain, but historians believe the game was created in India where it was known as tschatarunga several thousand years ago. It is reputed to be the world's oldest game.

It la known that the game came to Europe via Persia, where it was known in the Sixth Century and also got its name from the Persian word for king shah the foremost piece in the game. In the 11th Century the game spread to Spain, Italy and Germany, where it became a popular pastime among noblemen and at the courts. The present rules of the game were created In the 16th Century when Ray Lopei de Segura also wrote the first book on chess. Lopes, a Spaniard, served at King Philip ITs court where the first modern chess matches were staged. In the following centuries the game spread to France and England and in the middle of the 18th Century French composer F.

A. Phllidor won repute as the world's leading chess player. He has been called the first unofficial world champion of chess. The first major international tournament was staged in London in 1851. A 30-year-old German professor, Adolf Anders-sen, won the tournament and was given the title world LT4 ,4 The Boys Are Being 'More Competitive1 BySIIAV CLICK Los Angeles TimM Service RIVERSIDE, Calif.

"If you ain't trying to cheat a little you ain't likely to win much," Richard Petty, king of the NASCAR drivers, once remarked. "Cheatin'," in the vernacular of the colorful types in grand national racing, isn't nearly the sin it is in, say, bridge or golf or craps. "I don't like the word said Bill Gaza-way, NASCAR's chief technical Inspector and policeman, judge and jury In deciding whether a car is Illegal. "I like to say that the boys are just trying to be 'more com Whatever you call it, it is a mechanic's attempt to find and take advantage of any loophole in NASCAR's 97-page rule book. And maybe go a step beyond.

"It ain't cheatin' 'til you get caught," is the maxim of garagemen. Most recent attempts to outfox inspectors have centered around restrictive carburetor sleeves ordered several years ago to reduce excessive speeds. The sleeves look like medium-sized washers and are placed on carburetor holes to restrict the amount of air. Opening sizes are checked continually by Inspectors. After inspection the carburetor is sealed and should not be tampered with unless an inspector is on hand.

And then it gets sealed again. Methods of cheating with sleeves are ingenious. Benny Parsons, ranked fourth in 1972 Winston Cup grand national standings, had an eight-inch plate welded to his carburetor with the ports the proper size. However, the angle and smoothness of the inner surface had been changed to greatly help the flow of air. Parson's trick wasn't discovered until after he qualified sixth for the Motor State 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

The carburetor was confiscated, in accordance with NASCAR regulations, and Benny had to install a new one and qualify again. "He had that trick carburetor in the last couple of races," technical inspector Dave Stan said while checking cars at Riverside. "I thought there was something wrong with it, but it checked out on the tests. When you feel something's wrong you keep eyeballing it. It took me a couple of races, but it finally dawned on me.

Benny had a great job done on it." NASCAR officials seldom fine or suspend drivers, but illegalities when discovered can prove costly. It probably cost Parsons about $1,500. The original carburetor cost $200, he paid another $500 to have it tricked np and he lost about $800 worth of tires he had earned by being one of the first 10 qualifiers. But in the strange brotherhood of grand national members, Parsons was almost a hero. He had slipped one past the establishment.

The following day, as Parsons tried to requalify with a legal carburetor, his engine blew. Only a couple of hours remained for qualifying and it appeared unlikely his crew could install a complete engine in time. "You wouldn't believe the scene," Starr said. "Half the crew chiefs and mechanics in the garage were working on Benny's car. All the guys he was trying to take money from by using an illegal carb were in there pitching to get Benny back on the track to qualify.

These guys are a different breed." Marty Bobbins, the country western singer who drives grand national as a hobby, put one over on the inspectors then turned himself in. Marty and his son, Ronnie, built an engine for Marty's '72 Dodge and took it to Talladega, for the Winston 500. The carburetor sleeves, normally tightly fitted and held in place by pressure, were slightly smaller and held in by glue. During the race the gasoline dissolved the glue and the sleeves dropped out, leaving a much larger opening. Robbins drove impressively with his new speed, dicing at time with leaders, and getting voted "rookie of the race." After finishing, he told officials of his trick and asked to be disqualified.

"We'd have never known if he hadn't told us," Starr admitted. "But Marty's that way. He wouldn't have taken a penny from anyone with a trick. He just wanted to have some fun trying it." Another "foolproof" method of winning the carburetor sleeve game was making the washer out of mercury, tooling and machining it like steel ones. When the engine heated to 150 degrees the mercury melted and left a larger opening.

"We get a little suspicious sometimes," Gazaway From l-C planned. Originally the President of Iceland was scheduled to make a speech, followed by the Lord Mayor of Reykjavik, the Russian ambassador, the American charge d' affaires, and other notables. Much of this will still go on, although the president, who is expected to be in the audience, will not speak. Negotiations are continuing between Davis and the Chess Federation about the. 30 per cent share of the gate receipts that Fischer is demanding.

The stage of the Exhibition Snoopy NASCAR Inspector Looks for illegal gimmicks under cars. Friday Major i Box Scores said, "when a car suddenly starts going a lot faster in the middle of a race than it did in qualifying." To police such innovative skulduggery, Gazaway announces before random races that all cars will be impounded and checked after the race. "We check non-qualifiers and the cars that wrecked, even if we have the carburetor," he said. "We want to keep 'em honest." The carburetor sleeves have not only reduced speeds, but use of different sized sleeves for different sized engines has served to "handicap" cars, similar to using weight in horse racing. Four different makes (Plymouth, Mercury, Chevrolet and Dodge) have won this year and in one race the first four finishers were from different manufacturers.

Before the carburetor restriction, most effort went toward getting more gasoline than the 22-gallon tanks would hold. One classic yarn concerns Smokey Yunick. His car was checked with a dry fuel tank and he was told to make corrections. Yunick complained, but the inspector told him to go back to the garage and fix it. Forgetting his one "goodie" which hadn't been detected, Smokey drove four miles to his garage with a supposedly dry tank.

Further inspection discovered that the roll bars had been converted into fuel tanks that held six extra gallons. It is surprising that mechanics can get away with anything. It takes about an hour to check a car. With 63 cars at Riverside that means a lot of scrutinizing. Most of Gaza-way's helpers are part-time workers, like Duck Beatty, an airport manager in Charlotte, or Bill Garlick, a 63 -year old retired garage owner from Roanoke, Va.

Beatty, a bubbly little fellow on his first western NASCAR inspection, says you can usually tell which car will win by looking under it. "Crawl under this car," he said, pointing to Petty's STP-Plymouth. "You take a good look at how immaculate it is. Then crawl under that one," pointing to a battered machine. "One look and you know he'll be lucky to finish.

Get under a car and you know who came to win and who just came to race." ready to goare the 32 pieces of a John Jacques and Son chess set.
