Soviets still reign supreme: Fischer takes up challenge Bobby Fischer prepares for match. players ganged up and cheated him out of a crack at the title in a Candidates' Tournament at Curacao in 1962. Fischer accused the Russians of consulting during games and drawing with each other to conserve their energy. While leading a similar event in Tunisia in 1967, Fischer walked out over a scheduling dispute with the Russians. Recently Fischer said: "They cheat in other sports, not just chess.

The funniest if you think it's funny is with their track athletes. Some women! They take male hormone injections. The Russians have been committing lntpmafonaT, crimes for so long spreading lies and political propaganda all over the world, cheating at sports someone has to stop them. I've been chosen. I intend to (each them a little humility.

"I just read an attack on me by Botvinnik, the ex-world champion, in a Russian magazine. He said he was writing it in the interest of truth. He said I was capricious, conceited, para- derstand. They think it means there's something wrong with our culture." Elated by his victory over Petrosian, Fischer Joked: "I think I'll send Spassky a telegram. Congratulations on winning the right to meet me for the World Championship." If Fischer wins, it would be like Russia winning the Super BowL Interest is at fever pitch in Russia, where chess is the national pastime and Bobby the most popular foreign celebrity since the pianist Van CUburn.

"We have been dominant so long in chess and have gotten so used to winning that I think it has made us complacent," said one Soviet expert "There are no great names these days. No young players are coining up. It would be a good thing if Fischer takes the title from Spassky." But this attitude is far from typical. For years the official Soviet line has been that Fischer is a crybaby and a loudmouth. The Soviet press has never forgiven him for charging that their By LARRY EVANS Starting next Sunday in Reykjavik, Iceland, America's Bobby Fischer, 29, will face Russia's world champion Boris Spassky, 35, in a 24-game title match lasting two months.

At stake is not only an awesome purse of (138,500 plus lucrative film and TV rights, but Soviet chess supremacy itself. Fischer is the first non-Russian challenger for the world's chess championship In a quarter of a century. He won that right by breezing thru a series of qualifying tournaments. In 1971, Soviet fans were startled and disconcerted by the ease with which the young American won the Candidate's Tournament in Buenos Aires. Fischer scored 12 straight wins against Russia's Mark Taim-anov and Denmark's Bent Larsen, an unheard of feat, before shellacking Russia's ex-world champ Tigran Pe-trosian.

I was Fischer's second in Buenos Aires and a top Soviet chessmaster told me: "At home they don't un noid, that I lacked principles and was not sufficient as a human being. I'm sick of their hypocrisy. "Like when I beat Petrosian last year in Buenos Aires. There was just this little squib in their papers about it But there was a local cbampkwsip that they put in headlines. If Petrosian a beaten me, tten there would have been headlines.

"I was even put down In my own country. Americans really don't know much about chess. So they listen to other people. But I think if when I beat Spassky, that. Americans win take a greater interest in chess.

Ajneri-. can Eke winners. "Tim United States is not a cultural country. The people here want to be entertained. They don't want any mental strain, and cbess is a high intellectual form.

Americans want to phmk down in front of a TV and not have to open a book. "But now President Nixon just sent me a letter saying that America is backing me." Fischer's opponent, the stocky, square-jawed, chainsmoking Spassky, is something of a maverick himself. Fischer comes from a broken family. So does Spassky, who was orphaned at when both his parents were killed in the siege of Leningrad. Like Fischer, Spassky is Jewish.

Spassky has consistently refused to join the Communist Party and also often has been at odds with the Russian chess authorities. Spassky bears a big burden. "It's hard for me to say who will wht this match," he conceded recently. "I would not care to make any prediction. I like Fischer's style very much.

I like the purity of Us play-very logical His personality very explosive. He's a real fanatic. I fed fond of him." Bobby Fischer's results have been so phenomenal that he is the highest-rated chess player in the history of the game, according to a statistical scale used by the Federation Internationale des Echecs, commonly known as FIDE, the intersatiosal chess federation. He has played a total of games against Russian grandmasters, the finest in the world, scoring 53 pointsa win is a full point and a draw is a half point). Yet he has failed to beat Spassky in a single individual encounter, losing 3 and drawing 2 in the games they have contested.
