The Missoulian from Missoula, Montana • 16

I6-The Missoulian, Thursday, July 13, 1972 ITemperamental Fischer Loses Match A i A I 4,1 f. 1 i -fit 1 ft 'ft "Fischer did not think enough about the move," said one American grandmaster, "He rushed into it and he goofed." A good-sized audience saw the play-off Wednesday, and it was as enthusiastic and well-behaved as it had been at the opening. Fans in the auditorium were scrupulous about not making any noise. Many of them brought high-powered binoculars. It was reported by one binocuhir-owner, who had his glasses on the stage Tuesday when Fischer made that famous, or infamous, 29th move, that Spassky's face took on a look of sheer incredulity.

Normally, Spassky, during game, is a study in impassivity. So, for that matter, is Fischer. Both are professionals who, like professional pugilists, are trained never to show emotion. So far neither player has done anything unusual during the actual course of play. For the most part, they sit motionless and stare at the board.

Occasionally, one or the other may get up to stretch his legs, disappearing behind the stage curtains into an area reserved for the players, Seldom are they away more than five minutes at a time. Wednesday, while Fischer was having his television troubles, Spassky did disappear for a while, and he also strolled around the stage. Instead of the rather formal business suit with vest that he wore Tuesday, in honor of the first game, he was wearing a pair of light colored slacks, a white shirt and tie, and a sports jacket. Fischer also wore a tie and jacket. Historians around here are busily citing precedents in previous championship play.

They point out at least three examples of players in a World Championship match losing the first game and coming back to win. Spassky lost the first to Petrosian in 1969, Petrosian to Botwinnik in 1963, and Euwe to Alekhine in 1935. But, they are asking, has Spassky the Indian sign on Fischer? The American has yet to win a game from the Russian grandmaster, and the score is now four wins and two draws in Spassky's favor. Fischer has the white pieces, and first move, tonight, however, and this time he will be on the attack, presumably thirsting for blood. There will be a meeting about the situation, Schmid said, and he indicated that at Thursday's game he might have to make a ruling if Fischer persists In his attitude.

Wednesday's game was a play-off of Tuesday's adjourned position. Tuesday, Fischer had given up a bishop for two pawns. At the time it was not known whether he had blundered on his 21)th move, or whether he had a continuation so deep that nobody could see it. A night of analysis convinced the experts that Fischer's move was indeed one of the strangest lapses in grandmaster history. "A beginner's blunder cost him the game," a Fischer admirer sorrowfully said.

Wednesday morning at breakfast Spassky was seen smiling, confident and relaxed. Fischer was not to be seen at all. Nikolai Krogius, the Russian grandmaster who is Spassky's psychologist, said before play was resumed that Fischer was lost. So did the American Grandmaster, Robert Byrne. So did the chess enthusiastists who had spent the night testing every possible combination.

And so it turned out. Theories are being advanced about Fischer's incredible blunder. One, taken seriously by chess experts, involves the temperament of the two players. Fischer, so goes the thinking, was so anxious to win the first game that Spassky purposely played a dull line, trading off pieces and waiting until the bored and irritated American would do something rash. In other words, Fischer was suckered out of a drawn position into a loss.

This may sound far-fetched, but it has been known to happen. The great Danish player, Bent Larsen, for example, often fritters away a draw in his eagerness to win. Such impulsiveness is not normally in Fischer's cool, precise style, but this first game was something special, and Fischer gambled and lost. Another theory holds that Fischer has been so preoccupied with the business and controversial aspects of the match that he has not prepared himself as thoroughly as he might have. And still another is not really a theory.

It is, simply, that the great Bobby Fischer made a mistake. By IIAROli) C. SCI10NBKRG fT, to fork Timi Utwi Sonnet REYKJAVIK, Iceland Bobby Fischer has lost the first game of his championship chess match with Boris Spassky of the Soviet I'nion. At 6 05 Wednesday night, in a hopeless position at the 56lh move, he stood up and offered his hand. Spassky took it.

The game was marked by one of Fischer's temperamental outbursts that may lead to another of the blowups that has been a continuing part of this match. It also appeared that once again the rules had been bent in favor of the American grandmaster. Fischer walked out of the game for about 35 minutes, objecting to a television crew working from an aperture at the side of the stage. Me said that the movements of one of the cameramen distracted him. Fischer clock was on during this time and when he finally returned to the chess board he was left with 25 minutes to make 16 moves.

Officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation and members of the Fischer delegation rushed backstage when Fischer made his objection, and pressure was brought on the cameraman to leave. It was reported that the camera was dismantled. Lothar Schmid, the referee of the match, later said that he had had no part in the decision to eject the cameraman. But if Fischer persisted in his objections, Schmid said, there would be trouble. Schmidt specifically cited two rules in the contract governing the match-No.

17 and No. 21. No. 17 involves the sportsmanship of the players, and specifies that it is forbidden to disturb an opponent on his move. In Schmidt's opinion, Spassky was definitely disturbed.

No. 21 states that television coverage, as part of the agreement among the parties, to the match, is permitted. Fischer, according to Schmidt, claimed that since he himself had not signed any agreement, the rules did not apply to him. But it was Schmid's considered opinion that since Fischer had started the match without making any objection, he legally is considered to have agreed to the rules. Schmid was trained as a lawyer.

Mrs. Johnson was fourth in the 80-meter hurdles at Mexico City in 1968. Miss Hammond, a 20-year-old collegian from Sacramento, broke her own record of 52.1 in the 400, running 51.8.

Madeline Manning Jackson, the defending Olympic 800-meter champion, and sprinter Barbara Ferrell were named to the team in two events. Mrs. Jackson, who won the 800 in 2:05.2, also will compete in the relay another new event. Miss Ferrell, who won the 100 at 11.3 and ran second to 17-year-old Jackie Thompson in the 200 at 23.4, also will be a starter on the 400-meter relay team. In 1968, Miss Ferrell was second in the 100 at Mexico City, fourth in the 200, and ran the first leg for the 400-meter relay winners.

Long jumper Willye White and discus thrower Olga Connolly each made the Olympics for the fifth time, although neither met the minimum standard in the trials. Mrs. Connolly, a 39-year-old mother of four, won at 170 feet, 4 inches but she previously had surpassed the 180-5 Vz qualifying mark. Miss White, 32, a 13-time national champion, was second by a quarter-inch to Martha Watson's winning long jump of 20-l'z. However, she met the 20-8 standard earlier.

The 1,500 will be run by women in the Olympics for the first time this year, and the top three met the 4:20 minimum qualifying standard for the games.

Defense is different today from what it was only five years ago.

Everyone talks about the pros' offense. But now the pros have better defense than we do in the colleges. The pros found out you have to play tough on defense." The Olympic squad will play three or four in Hawaii and return to California on Aug. 4. On Aug.

The first exhibition will be staged in Dayton, Ohio, followed by a game the next night in Louisville. On Aug. 13 the teams will play at Los Angeles and three days later at Buffalo.

To some of the players the camp was as "chicken" as the strict rules under which plebes must live. Observers who visited the camp came away with stories of personality tests that his players were subjected to, of a pre-midnight curfew, of only one television set for the entire squad, of coaches waiting in the men's room to chew out players who went to the bathrooms after lights out. "The discipline was no different from the '64 or '68 teams," said Iba, whose 36-year record at Oklahoma State was one of the finest ever compiled.

"I don't think you'd let any athletic team stay up all night." Iba said that he did not give the personality tests allegedly designed to weed out malcontents nor had he seen the results. He also said that inviting the players to camp wasn't even his job. He was told to mold the players that arrived into a team. "I'm hating the whole thing," said Ed Ratleff of Long Beach State, a guard. Doug Collins, another guard, from Illinois State, claimed he hadn't seen a "shaved leg" in 12 days.

"We have seven men under 21 years of age," said Iba. "In '64 and '68 we had at least five men on the squad with international experience. But now we've got only one, Ken Davis, who's played AAU ball. This may be one of the largest teams in height we've ever put out, but it's definitely the youngest." According to Iba, it was essential that he have a strong hand with such a youthful squad, a team he hardly knew anything about. Each day Iba and the members of the Olympic Basketball Committee would take a ballot of the top eight guards, eight forwards and eight centers.

On the last day of camp they voted on the 12 best over-all. Twelve alternates also were selected, but none will be going to Hawaii or Munich, where the games begin Aug. 27, unless there are injuries. The concept of playing service teams in Hawaii sprang from the difficulties the 1968 squad had in finding opponents. Iba discovered that teams from Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, Brazil, Puerto Rico and Cuba were gaining on the U.S., helped by their continual practice.

The 12-man squad, under the direction of the controversial Hank Iba, will spend three weeks jn Hawaii in action against teams from a submarine base, Schofield Barracks, and other military installations. "We'll probably play only 10 games before the Olympics," said Iba before the team took off from San Francisco. "In the other countries the teams probably will play 50 games a piece. We're expected to put together a team in six, seven weeks while in other places they've been together for years." Iba, who has one of the youngest squads in this country's Olympic history, warned that "the day will come when we won't be able to win with a situation like this." The U.S.
