Chicago Tribune, Saturday, July 15, 1972 Section 1 18 Spassky Holds 2-0 Edge Fischer's Appeal of Chess Forfeit Rejected WII Leonard Soviet Chess Players Irked, Demote 'Bobby' to 'Fischer' REYKJAVIK, Iceland, July 14 AP Bobby Fischer charged today that tournament organizers seemed to "upset and provoke me" deliberately, but a committee rejected his request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassky. The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded yesterday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear. Fischer stayed in his hotel suite, because he objected to three moving picture cameras Pa v. in the hall. Spassky on Wednesday had won the first game and held a 2-0 edge in the 24-game series after Fischer's failure to ap-pear yesterday.

He. needs 10 more points to retain the title and Fischer needs 1214 points. A victory counts one MOSCOW, July 14 AP Moscow's park bench chess players used to call him "Bobby." Now it's "Fischer." They used to respect and even privately root for the American who wants the world chess crown. They don't any more. About 6 million Russians take chess seriously and there's a growing feeling among them that Fischer has become downright insulting.

"This is chess, not baseball," said one chess fan. "Fischer's no sportsman." Praise for Spassky There was'only praise for Boris Spassky, the Russian world champion who has waited patiently in Reykjavik as Fischer caused delay after delay over his demands for more money, better lighting and, at last report, for the removal of film cameras from the match site. It was Fischer's self confidence, his individually and his public claim to being the world's best chess player that captured the Russians' imagination. Perhaps bored with the knowledge that the world crown has remained in Russian hands for 24 years, the man on the street was not overly distraught when Fischer crushed Russia's Tigran Petrosian for the right to face Spassky. The prospect of a major Soviet-American confrontation over the chess board was exciting and appealing.

But the admiration has turned to disgust. For the park bench players, Fischer is either "sumashedshy" crazy or scared. Citizens Back Criticism Either way, the average Russian privately agrees with his government controlled newspapers. For months the Soviet press has criticized the American challenger as "a money grubbing businessman," a chess player who carries around with him "a disgusting spirit of gain." "Fischer's nothing more than a capitalist," one bearded player complained. "For him bnsiness comes before sports." The news media here haven't devoted much attention to the chess match.

However, the average Russian chess player knows Fischer is down two points and that Spassky hasn't even begun to fight. Confused at first, but willing to accept the American's desire for more money, most of the park players now attribute Fischer's latest demands to fear of defeat at the hands of the world champion. point and a draw half a point. AP Wlreohoto Asks Camera Removal Fischer agreed to go ahead with the match if the cameras were removed. However, the movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Fed Bobby Fischer right chats with Chester Fox, who holds photographic rights to chess tournament.

Finally, Al took the bait, 'and said: "I'll make you a bet your 'Fiddler on the Roof doesn't break the record of 'Good Night Ladies! Pelty told him he had a deal, and asked what the stakes would be. Rosen said calmly: "I'll wager you one short Coca-Cola without ice." And that's where the matter rests, for the time being. Tune in again next May, when we'll know how the wager came out. Nutshell Interview BENNY DUNN, once renowned as the master of ceremonies at the old Black Orchid, and now known as a publi-citorfor the Playboy empire, is going to be a judge, this afternoon, of the Miss Nude America contest at a place called Naked City, Ind. We looked it up in a gazetteer and couldn't find it on any map.

It's a nudist colony with no zip code number. "I don't know where it is," Benny confessed. "Somebody's driving me there." "You're no expert on nudity," we said to Benny. "How are you going to judge?" Benny said: "I'm just going to guess." Nutshell Mini Interview THERE WAS a little guy, about 3 years old, walking down the sidewalk, holding his daddy's hand. He was dressed in a Cubs uniform, and that didn't exactly turn us off.

So we asked him if he had a ball or bat or glove to go with his nice baseball outfit. Bashfully, eyes downcast, he scrutinized the sidewalk, silently. At last his daddy told us: "I guess he isn't giving interviews today." The National Game ASTROTURF has come to the old American games of marbles or vice versa. Two little guys who said they were brothers, and we'd guess they were about 8 and 10 years old, were out in front of the Sheraton-Chicago hotel, on Michigan Avenue, Tuesday morning. There's a spread of artificial turf between the sidewalk and the entrance, and these guys, who, with their parents, were guests of the hotel, were play-' ing marbles on the phony greensward.

There was quite an assemblage of onlookers, standing around on the sidewalk with half smiles on their face.

Sound Measured' An engineer from the Reyk- -1 tt Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic fed -eration, said that the organiz ers would not pay the loser share if the match is stopped iiusuiuie ui ruuuc neaiui was called in to measure the sound in the hall to see if the 1 cameras were noisy. ing could have been farther from the facts." He previously had told Schmid that the knowledge the cameras were there made him nervous even tho he could not see or hear them.

In his letter, however, he asserted: "The bungling unknowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy, rude, and deceitful. The only thing invisible, silent, and out "of sight was the fairness of the part of the organiz by Fischer's disqualification. This meant that Fischer could not only lose his chances at the title but "a great sum of money. Thorarinsson said the cam eras would be removed, but that Spassky 's game point would stay. to go fishing for two days and not think about chess.

Chester Fox, the New York promoter who bought the film rights to the championship, said he discussed arrangements with Fischer at the Yale Club in New York on June 28. Fox said he explained how the cameras would be used, Fischer raised no objections and "seemed perfectly ers. "We agreed to support Schmid's decision," he said. "Three of us felt that it could not be done otherwise. There was one against." Next Game Uncertain Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer, who arrived in the morning from New York, appeared upset by the ruling.

Asked if Fischer would appear for the third game Sunday, he replied, "I can't comment on that." He concluded that the noise level was about 55 decibels, with or without the cameras running. Fischer declared that when all the camera equipment had been removed "I will be at the chess board." A four-man committee voted 3 to 1 to reject Fischer's request for a replay, said Gudmundur Arnlaughsson of Iceland, assistant referee who served on the committee: Fischer delivered a copy of his protest to Spassky's hotel after handing it to Schmid. He stuck the sealed envelope in Spassky's pigeon hole and the Russian got it as he was eating breakfast in the hotel dining room. Spassky to Relax Spassky read it and said: "It's about everything except chess." Spassky commented that he was disappointed and planned As the loser Fischer would be entitled to $46,875 from the chess federation, $45,000 from a purse of about $120,000 of-f by British financier James Slater, and $27,500 from television and movie rights. No Compromise on Conditions "I have never compromised on anything affecting playing conditions of the game itself, which is my art arid my profession.

Opens Hall of Printing Chkeee TriteM Press Snk WASHINGTON, July 14-The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of History and Technology today opened a new hall dedicated to the history of printing technology. Called the Hall of Printing and Graphic Arts, it contains two dozen presses and type casting machines illustrating the printer's craft back to colonial times. Some are hand-operated, while newer models are examples of the latest electronic methods.

Film Is Shown In a small theater adjoining the exhibit are showings of the film "Big City Newspaper," donated by The Chicago Tribune. Featured exhibits are "period rooms," such as an 18th century printshop like the one Benjamin Franklin might have used. These three rooms and a type foundry will be "operated" on alternate days by craftsmen dressed in period costumes. Newspaper Shop Probably the most striking period room is a brick-faced newspaper shop containing a Hoe large-cylinder press, the workhorse of the book and newspaper trade at the end of the last century. It is powered by a Baxter steam engine.
