By ROBERT BYRNE Special Correspondent of The News Reykjavik, Iceland, July 11 Bobby Fischer is in trouble. The brilliant 29-year-old challenger for Boris Spassky's world chess crown adjourned tonight the first game of the 24-game title match with the Russian holding the advantage of a bishop for two pawns. A stiff uphill battle faces Fischer when the game is resumed tomorrow at 5 p.m. (1 p.m.

The first game of history's richest world chess title mutch was called after 40 moves and 3 hours and 34 min Houston, July 1 (UPI) The space agency reprimanded the Apollo 15 astro-uts today for "poor judgment" in trying to sell moon mail for a trust fund set upjfof eir families.

Scott and Worden are currently unassigned to any space The space administration allows astronauts to take some personal items on space) flights as long aa they retain them or give them to personal friends ami do not use them for financial gain. The crew gave 100 envelopes, which were stamped and their signatures notarized, to a friend living in Germany. These were the envelopes later received by Herman Sieger, a West German stamp dealer, who sold 99 of them for $150,000. The dealer said they are worth more and wants to buy them back.

The crew has rejected the trust fund plan and an alternative offer of stamps in exchange for the moon envelopes, Gordon said. The remaining 300 envelopes were confiscated by the space administration. The reprimand for the three astronauts was described by a spokesman as "damaging." He said he did not think they would fly again. One astronaut, James B. Irwin, 42, already lias announced his retirement take up religious endeavors.

The others, David R. Scott and Alfred M. Worden, both 40, will be given "due consideration" for future space flight assignments, the spokesman said. The astronauts took an unauthorized batch of 400 envelopes on the July 1971 mission in which Scott and Irwin landed on the moon at Hadley Rille. The envelopes, signed "and stamped, were in addition to 232 approved for the flight.

Bcb Gordon, a National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman, said a West German stamp dealer received 100 envelopes, retained one and sold the rest for $150,000. But before any money changed hands, Gordon said, the astronauts realized the utes of play. Neat, logical opening play had enabled Bobby to sidestep all problems with the black pieces. Alt he would have needed for a sure draw was routine play, and the 2,000 spectators who had applauded his appearance on the stage just a few hours before were expecting that. Makes Kinky Move Kut then, on his fateful 29th move, he suddenly ventured the risky capture of Spassky's king rook pawn.

Spassky promptly played 30. P-Kt3 and Fischer's bishop was trapped. Five moves later, Spassky captured the bishop and Fischer faced the horrendous problem of playing an end game with only pawns to help his king. When he made his foray, Fischer had probably counted on smashing Spassky's kingside pawn formation, trading off his own rook pawn for Spassky's king bishop pawn. Kut after Fischer launched his attack, Spassky cut his plans to ribbons by moving up his king in an unrefutable defense.

The Fischer stroke apparently was to plan to play 33 P-R6, counting on 34. K-Kt4 B-Kt8 35. P. But then he saw, too late, that Spassky could play 36. B-Q2 and still keep his bishop in a capture net.

Earlier, Spassky adopted cautious tactics in choosing the secure but lackluster retreat, 9.Kt-K2. If he had hoped to give Fischer any problems in development after the queens were exchanged, the American's 14th move discouraged the whole idea. The attempt to win a piece by tf.BxKt, BxB, 16.RxB would have kebounded after BxR, winning the exchange for Fischer.

"The crew exercised poor judgment in their actions," a space administration announcement said. Personal Items Allowed George Lowe, space administration deputy administrator, said, "Astronauts are under extreme stress in the months pre-ceeding a flight to the moon, and their poor judgment in carrying the unauthorized covers must be considered in this light. Nonetheless, Nasa cannot condone these actions."

They set up four concrete and steel barricades and vowed to the Protestants," one of trie workmen said. The province's British government, meanwhile, brought in more troops and ordered Protestants to change the route of to-morow's parades, so as not to skirt the edges of Belfast's Catholic neighbors.

The Orange Order parades commemorate the 1690 Battle of the Boyne, which resulted in Protestant domination over Northern Ireland's Catholic minority. A 17-year-old youth was killed the Protestant Carlisle Circus area of Belfast, and another man died in the hospital from gunshot wounds suffered earlier.
