Rule 21 allows the taking of pictures during the match by official photographers as long as the cameras are "neither Fischer needs 12 points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title. Today he plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. After Spassky's 56th move Fischer resigned. He reached significant.

Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. visible nor audible." The camera Fischer objected to was officially sanctioned. With a maximum of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischer's loss "isn't necessarily all that over and stopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out. He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applauding Spassky.

When the play resumed Wednesday, Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threat-, ened a Fischer pawn. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer today was reported threatening to break off his world championship chess match with Boris Spassky unless all movie cameras are removed from the playing halL "It's quite serious. He may not play at said a member of Fischer's entourage who asked not to be identified.

Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today at 1 p.m. EDT for the second game of their 24-game match. The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night. Fischer staged a 30-mlnute walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous. The carneYa was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him.

Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each. "It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today. Contacted at his hotel, Schmid said: "There will be a match tonight If Fischer doesn't appear, he will take the consequences." A member of Fischer's camp said the "legal aspects are being studied." Richard Stein, a lawyer for the promoter who bought the TV and film rights, Chester Fox, said he was up all night with Fischer's second, the Rev. William Lorn bard and Fred Cramer of the U.S.

Chess Federation. Stein said that at one point Fischer walked in on the meeting, listened for a few minutes and then in a few sentences indicated he was adamant about expelling the cameras. Then he went to bed. In agreement with Lombardy and Cramer, Stein wrote Fischer a letter at 5 o'clock this morning appealing to the challenger to accept the presence of the cameras and go on playing. "I hope the letter will move him." Stein said.

Schmid said he was prepared to invoke two rules of the match against Fischer. Rule 17 prohibits in the name tm m-WW' "THE BUY OF THE MONTH" rr' r3 1' 3-PC.
