Ever since he learned to playj chess in Brooklyn at the age of six, the lanky American grand master, now 29, has cherished one big dream--to become the world champion in the oldest and most sophisticated of games. If he succeeds--and there are many experts who he will--he will become the second American world champion in the long history of chess and non-Russian to rule as champion since Max Euwe of the Netherlands held the title briefly in the 1930s.

The Icelanders, although there are only 200,000 of them, are chess-mad and the organizers say they are assured of sellout crowds of 5,000 in the Laugardals Ho 11 i indoor sports arena. The crowd is another potential cause of trouble with the temperamental American challenger, who has been known to leave games because the noise of the crowd irritated him. Fischer and Spassky, chess board made of white and green Icelandic stones and seated in specially constructed chairs, will be placed on the stage in the hall. The organizers, aware of Fischer's hot temper, first suggested that a glass wall be erected between the and the crowd. But Fischer rejected the proposal Other things which have come under fire from, Fischer are the lighting and the ventilation in the and the choice of German grand master Lothar Schrnid as umpire.

However, Icelandic chess officials are satisfied that Fischer will accept the arrangements. They were not even worried when Fischer abruptly decided to change his arrival date.

Spassky, who won the title in 1969 from fellow countryman Tigran Petrosian, is the favorite of Danish grand master Bent Larsen. Larsen, who defeated by Fischer in the elmination for the Reykjavik match and served as Fischer's adviser at one tme, feels Spassky's experience from two previous world championship games and his better nerves will be decisive. "Fischer is a genius, an aggressive player who rights as long as there is a pawn left on the board," Larsen said, "But if I have to pick a favorite, I would pick Spassky because of his routine and better nerve control." Spassky has paid tribute to Fischer, whom he described as i a remarkable chess player. Without him the world of chess would be very duU." While Fischer goes on attack to win every game and is thrown off balance by' a draw, Spassky has proved in previous matches that he can come back from a series of drawn games to score decisive wins.

They have met five times before, with Spassky winning three games and drawing two. But the Russian, who leads a comfortable life on his earnings as a professional chess player, agrees that more fire.
