A number of countries had se-' riously considered bidding for the match, and tentative amounts had beert widely publicized. The most persistent' rumor was that the Shan of Iran was interested, and The second and much' more pleasant surprise for the chjess world was-that the winning figure Was $5,000,000 for the match to take place in Manila. This wasvguaram" teed by the Philippine government, according to a eppkesman for President Ferdinand Marcos. The envelope was brought personally to Amsterdam by Florencio Cam-poinanes of Manila, a vice-president of FIDE. The other offers were $440,000 for Milan, Italy, and $4tXfcOOO for Mexico City.

Small as they are in comparison, (ttey-are still above the previous record for a chess purse, 5250,000 in Reykjavik, Iceland for the match in which wrested the title from Boris Spassky of the Soviet jUnion in June, 1972. The $5,000,000 will go entirely to the players, according to Campomanes. The division is two thirds to the winner, find one third to the loser. All the organization costs, ex-pt nses of the players and officials, estimated at close Ito $1,000,000, will be borne by the Philippines The offer is good only if the match is played. It is scheduled to start on, June 1, but this is still far from certain.

Fischer has ptated that all his conditions must be met before he will Bit down at the board. Last June, after a meeting of. the HSJE-in Nice. France, Fischer cabled that he was resigning, Tny FIDE title," in protest to the match regulations that nad just been approved. The present status is that the match will go to the first winner of 10 games, with draws not to count The maximum number of games is 36.

If that limit is reached, the; player who is ahead wins the match, The champion retains the title if the score is tied. Fischer originally proposed the 10 games to win, draws not counting, ana agrees to this. ob jjects to any limitation of the number of games to be contested. He wants one additional rule, -that the champion keep the title if the score reaches nine wins Thus the challenger must score at least 10 to 8, or a minimum margin of two games. Only the General Assembly of FIDE, in which every member country is represented, can change the match regulations.

No regular meeting is scheduled this year, tout the Japanese Chess Federation has called for a special meeting to try to resolve the impasse. The Assembly must be convened by the president if one third of the members join in the request. This seems likely, and a meeting in March is anticipated. The next stages in the match preparation, with the con-pent of both players required, are: confirmation of the pite, Feb. 17; selection of the Chief Arbiter, March play-ler statements of availability.

If Karpor refuses, then a new challenger would be sought TAL, BELYAVSKY TIE FOR USSR TITLE We noted last week that former world champion Mikhail Tal and Alexander Belyavsky were tied after 12 rounds of the 42nd annual championship tournament in the Soviet Union. They ended that way, tied for first with totals of 9V6-5Vi The final three rounds were by no means clear sailing for the winners.

In the 13th round Belyavsky lost to Ev-geny Vasiukov while Tal downed Victor Kuprechik. That gave Tal a full point edge over the rest of the field.
