The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear because he objected to three more cameras in the halL Thus Spassky, who won the first game, was 2-0 in the 24-game series. He needs 10 more points to retain the title. A victory counts one point and a draw half a point.

Fischer said that if the forfeit ruling were reversed and all cameras were removed, he would go ahead with the match. This demand came despite the fact that movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125,000 purse for both players. Gumundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic federation, said the cameras would be removed, but that Spassky's game point would stay. That still left the future of the championship in doubt. Thorarinsson said that if the match were stopped by Fischer's disqualification, the organizers would not pay the loser's share.

This meant that Fischer could lose not only his chances at the title but also a great sum of money. As the loser he would be entitled to $46,875 from the chess federation, $45,000 from a purse of about $120,000 offered by British financier James Slater, and $27,500 from television and movie rights. In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid, the chief referee, the American said he was told the cameras would be silent and invisible but "nothing could have been farther from the facts." In his letter, Fischer asserted: "The bungling unknowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy, rude and deceitful. "It seemed to me that the organizers deliberately tried to upset and provoke me by the way they coddled and towed to that camera crew. "I am keen to play this match, and I hope game two will be scheduled for Sunday, July 16, at 5 in the afternoon." Fischer declared that when all camera equipment has been removed, "I will be at the chessboard." A four -man committee voted 3-1 to reject Fischer's request for a replay, said Gudmunder Arnlaughsson of Iceland, assistant referee who served on the committee.

Opposing was Fred Cramer, an official of the US Chess Federation, and an associate of Fischer. The other members were Baldur Moller, an Icelandic Chess Federation official, and Nikolai Krogius, a Spassky aide.

Associated Press REYKJAVIK, Iceland Bobby Fischer charged yesterday that tournament organizers seemed to "upset and provoke me" deliberately, but an appeals committee rejected his request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassky. Fischer's stature declines in USSR; crazy, or scared? Associated Press MOSCOW 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 anymore. "He's slightly touched in the head," muttered a chess enthusiast as his opponent pondered the next move on a board balanced across a bench. About six 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." There was only praise for Boris Spas-sky, the Russian world champion who has waited patiently in Reykjavik, Ireland, as Fischer caused delay after delay over his demands for more money, better lighting and the removal of film cameras.

It was Fischer's self-confidence, his individuality 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.

Either way, the average Russian privately 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 player complained. "For him, business comes before sports." opeen si ftaucK. mass. 10 RACES NIGHTLY DAILY DOUBLE PERFECTASTRIFECTAS.
