The GAZETTE, Montreal, July 13, 1572 Fischer to get in shape with stiff exercises From the car he shotted Join Collins, a paraplegic sitting a few feet away in a wheel chair. Collins taught Fischer the game, Fischer rolled down the car window and said: "I'm sorry. It will settle down." Fred Cramer, a U.S. Chess Federation official who sometimes speaks for Fischer, said the American was to take some strenuous physical exercise Wednesday night to get in shape for his second game with Spassky today. When Spassky left, a crowd shouted congratulations.

The Hussian came to the hall yesterday expecting to win, his associates reported. He was unruffled throughout his faultless chess play. Robert Byrne, a U.S. grand master and second ranked player in the United States, said t.fter the game: ''It isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." Under scoring rules, one point is awarded for a victory (Continued from Page 1) lem, Fischer snapped: "No comment." After yesterday's gome, Fischer left the hall by the stage door whitefneed and hurried to a waiting car.

and a half point goes to each player for a draw. As defending champion, Spassky needs only 12 points in the 24 games to retain his title. Fischer must score 12la to seize it and put an end to a 24-year Soviet monopoly. Fischer has played six games with Spassky and has yet to win. Fischer plays white today.

With a one-up leg on the score, Spassky gained an important psychological advantage In the view of experts such as former Yugoslav champion Svetozar Cligoric. Experts observed the course of the play was ns-tonlshing in retrospect: Spassky made no attempt to hasten exploitation of the slight advantage which the. white pieces and first move gave him.

And through the years his complaints have been remarkably well heeded considering that even his closest Iriends find him irrasciblc, painfully moody and painfully stubborn.

TV MATCH In New York, the first match was shown on WNET's Channel 13 with a chess expert moving the pieces on a large board and explaining the action. The station's switchboard was jammed with callers.

Some to complain that the chess master, Shelby Lyman, was explaining too much, others to complain he wasn't explaining enough. It's coverage that Joe Fra-zier would envy. Through the years Fischer has complained in various matches about everything from the air conditioning, the lighting and the spectators to point of view, he couldn't have done better. Tie Reykjavik confrontation between two players sitting on cither side of a stone slab with G4 squares, which was hewn by a man who is equally adept at carrying grave stones, is the chess match of the century thanks largely to the antics of Bobby Fischer. LARGEST PURSE "The world of chess would be a dull place without him," commented Spassky at one stage during the protracted negotiations leading up to the championship.

The world of chess would also be a lot less lucrative. Until Reykjavik, the largest purse, as far as is known, was the $20,000 prize put up for 1921 Capablanca-Laskcr contest in Havana. This one is worth and catapults gladiators of the chess board into the monetary ranks of those in the ring and on the football field. There are 130 journalists from all over the world in the Icelandic capital and the coverage the tournament is getting in newspapers and on television rivals that of space shots and the Vietnam war. Again, thanks to Fischer.

In the Soviet Union and. for that matter, many other European and Latin countries, chess is a national suort. Boris Spassky was "Soviet sportsman of the vear" in In the U.S. and Canada, chess ranks in the minds of most sports fans somewhere between knitting and tiddly-wins. This match is changing that, too.

It will be a long time before championship chess Is played By PETER KIERNAN NEW YORK (CP) -There's a kind of a hush over most of the chess clubs of the world. It's a loud hush, following as it does the collective sigh of relief that marked Bobby Fischer's final acceptance of terms to meet the reigning world champion, Soviet chess-master Boris Spassky. The relief was also felt in the U.S. state department, which had been able to do nothing but wring its hands in silent despair while Moscow scored propaganda points as the protean U.S. player proceeded to alienate just about everyone in sight by his pre-game tactics.

He has become the player fans love to hate; in some respects not an unenviable position.

Now, all of his complaints have been answered, his whims satisfied, and he stands in combat at the pinnacle of the chess world.

About 25,000 members of the Orange Order paraded through Belfast, considerably fewer than usual. Crowds were thinner too, although a solid line of spectators jigged beneath umbrellas to the resounding Protestant tunes blared out by about 20 different bands. The overnight killing that aroused most anger was the shooting of a Protestant youth as he walked with his father on a street in Portadown, a town which authorities feared could be one of the main centres of violence. Another shooting which roused horror was the murder in north Belfast of 15-year-old David McClenahan, a retarded Catholic boy with a mental age of four.

The three-man court said the confession, signed June 6, was admissible. The court said it was not connected with a pact signed six days earlier.
