He immediately pounced on Fischer's bishop left trapped after capturing one of the Russian's pawns and the game turned distinctly in Spassky 's favor, Spassky asked for adjournment after 40 moves and 4 hours play. When the two resume the P-KT3 K-K2 K-B3 K-KT2 game the first in their $250,000, 24-game world match Spassky has a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns. Play resumed at 5 p.m. (1 pm.

EDT). Most experts assembled here seemed to agree that Spassky has a chance to win, while Fischer should be happy if he salvages a draw. Caught in a hopelessly drawn game, temperamental American challenger Bobby Fischer took a chance to bring some life into his first world chess championship game. In that moment, soft-spoken and mild-mannered Boris Spassky proved why he is the world chamDion in the noblest rook on the side of the king is numbered: KR3, or King's rook 3.

game you can bet on it But nobody has come up with an explanation why the American chess genius went straight into what appeared to be a Russian trap. "He took a chance to win a chance," said Danish grandmaster Jens Eneveoldsen. "We will never know until Fischer tells us if he does," said another international grandmaster. Fischer obviously was displeased with his game. After the adjournment he angrily demanded a meeting with the Icelandic organizers to complain against what he described as the noisy audience.

Some 3,000 Icelanders and foreign chess enthusiasts had packed into the Lagardur Hall for. the opening thriller." But most knowledgable observers said they felt the audience was more quiet than is normal at top chess games. The Icelanders rejected Fischer's demand and told him it is up to? the official referee, Lothar Schmid of West Germany, to run the game from now on. Spassky's seconds, including international grand masters Efrim Geller and Nikolai Krogius, sent their world champion to sleep and then spent the night and the morning hours analyzing the position to find a winning combination for Spassky. Many experts feel tney will suceed, even if Geller himself modestly suggested: "I believe we will have a draw." Spassky Fischer (white) (black) 1.

K-Q3 B-Ql By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK (UPI) "Do you play chess? 'n "No," said Wes Parker, first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and owner of one of baseball's more active minds, "but I'm interested in the game." "You mean the world championship going on in Iceland now?" "Yes, I'm following it" "Because of this guy Fischer?" "He's the main reason, I suppose." "How do you feel about him, do you like him or not?" "I like him." Wes Parker mulled it over awhile. "I like him because he has said Parker, using a word which is perfectly okay 2216 Birch Street, Eau Claire Dial 835-9136 a DaseDaii clubhouse out not a family newspaper, a word meaning not only brass but much more, and one which' describes Bobby Fischer, the pensive, seemingly strange chess genius from Brooklyn perhaps better than any other word you can think of. CHESS DATES BACK to antiquity and has been called the most serious game played by man. THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP officially was on. But something was missing.

Fischer. He wasn't there. What was the rush? He had an hour before he had to make the first move. Fischer didn't set out to keep Spassky waiting. He didn't do it purposely.

The official clock was ticking but he didn't care. Bobby Fischer ALWAYS is late. He has been late for more important things than a chess match. Even a world championship one. And bet on it, he'll be late again.

That's the way he is. Finally, after eight minutes, during which time Spassky got up impatiently and walked around, Fischer appeared; He shook hands with Spassky and then sat down in his special swivel chair which he had flown in from New York for these championships. Fischer studied the board two minutes, then made his. first move, knight to King bishop three. In his own mind, Fischer feels he's one little guy taking on the whole Russian government.

He doesn't feel this way. because of any politics, the usual politics between countries, that is, but because of chess politics. REGARDLESS, HE ALWAYS played to Tuesday's first game was adjourned, meaning each man had made his allotted 40 moves in the five-hour time limit with; no decision being reached. When the game is resumed today, Spassky will have the upper hand although Fischer can still get a draw. In this first of 24 games, Spassky played the way everybody thought he would-r-conservatively.

That figured because if this whole business winds up eveni say 12-12, Spassky goes back home to Russia the same way he came to Reykjavik-world champion-Fischer has the first move in Thursday's second game, though. Watch him go! He'll play a completely different You can bet on that, too. Wes Parker doesn't have to be a chess expert. He's still got Bobby Fischer tagged much concentration, relatively few men play it Less than 5 per cent in the United States even know the rules but an astonishingly large percentage has begun following the game, the past few -Only because of Bobby-Fischer, Here's it pale, studious, almost timid-looking 29-year-old one-tin Boy Wonder who makes guys like Joe Namath and Dick Allen look like a couple of amateurs when it and in his "own good time. The opening match in Reykjavik Tuesday was a perfect example.

Word had filtered down that Fischer was "go, go, go" for that first match with Boris Spassky, Russia's world champion. All the embroidery had been taken care of. The drapes, the TV cameras, the lights, the chess board, all the things Fischer had kicked about Spassky was all set Everyone in the Reykjavik Chess Hall was, holding his breath as the Russian, playing the white pieces, made the first move, opening with the Queen pawn. agrees with medical care right to refuse out of hospitals, said no and Sullivan after vising her, said her wishes should be respected.
