3 The VANCOUVER SITN: June 24, 1972 tDS Commons gets its date for holidays CHESS TITLE but election expected before recall It's dogged vs. classic Bobby Boris MOSCOW (UPI)-Nona Gap-rindashvili of the Georgian Soviet republic retained Friday the women's world chess championship that she has held for 10 years. She drew in the lath game against challenger Alia Kushnir. The draw gave Miss Gap-rindashvili eight points to her opponent seven with only of the Commons for borne shortly after midnight. Meanwhile, there are indications that the Commons will clean up some major legisl-tian before next Friday.

Through all party agreement, the government has been able to add six hours to the Commons' sitting time next week. While there have been no opposition commitments, there is believed to be an understanding that at least two ciation of the way the government had rammed through "billioqs of dollars in only hours," the night before and how it was an indication of Parliament's decline under the pressures of Trudeau's "new politics" of government- by executive order. Weary government backbenchers hooted and pooh-poohed him, but Diefenbaker said the all-night sitting bad "disguste'd" the prime minister to the point of bolting out major bills will be pushed through. Those bills would tncluda the foreign takeovers legislation and the legislation to establish the new Family Income Security Program as a replacement for family allowances. Friday, after House leaders bad completed their negotiations, the Commons gave snappy approval to legislation which eliminates some of the restrictions on the payment of job-training allowances.

The House also approved amendments to the Wheat Board Act, changing the method of payment to farmers. Trudeau's adjournment motion says that when the House adjourns next Friday it will be subject to recall by the Speaker to give royal assent to any bills awaiting such approval. After that it will stand ad journed until Sept. 29 unless the Speaker, in consultation with the government, decides it should meet in the public Interest. OTTAWA (CP) Parliament is scheduled to begin a three-month summer recess next Friday and there are many MPs who doubt whether the House will resume befoie another general election.

Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau gave notice Friday that he will propose a motion, probably Monday, that the recess extend to Sept. 29. If an election is held this fall, as many people believe, it likely would be announced before that, since about 57 days must elapse between the announcement and actual voting. The House sat more than 13 hours, from 2:00 p.m. Thursday until 315 Friday to teach the government the "lesson," as the Opposition was at pains to explain, that even under the new supposedly streamlined House rules it couldn't count on bulldozing through its legislation.

Having sat out the long night, Conservative ex-prime minister John Diefenbaker was in the Commons Friday full of fight still at the opening bell. Up he popped with a denun Pension speedup okayed a i subterranean hiding-places) that positional player such as Spassky, with his tendency to draw games, might find himself exhausted from forever waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is Fischer's willingness to take chances, and his ability to extract deep combinations from seemingly shallow positions, that make bint a popular favorite in the Soviet Union. In a country where chess is the national sport, the national passion and, some say, the national soul, there is an impatience with the conservative playing styles of many of the current grandmasters. While Fischer was mowing down Larsen with an unending flow of innovative chess, the Russians Petrosian and Viktor Korchnoi were bogged down in their quarter-final match with eight drawn games in a row.

That is also a record of sorts, but a sterile one. And so the Russians like Fischer, who is the most popular American in the Soviet Union since Van Cliburn. Maybe they don't like him personally, but they admire his style. Of the five games they have played previously, Spassky won three and there were two up to 10 temporary commissioners, an increase from the present limit of five. The bill was supported by Jack Marshall (PC Humber -St.

George's St. Barbe) but he had some reservations about terms of the Pension Act which be said deprived some veterans with artificial limbs of what they deserved. He said the act gave no incentive to men to put on artificial limbs and go out to work. OTTAWA (CP) The Commons gave unanimous consent Friday to a government bill to speed up administration of pensions for war veterans. Assent en second reading was given quickly to a bill that would increase the number of pension commissioners to help speed decisions on a backlog of about 8,000 claims.

The number of permanent commissioners would be increased to 14 from 12 and administrators would be empowered, in addition, to appoint. BOBBY FISCHER deep ideas i CALLBOARD one match left in this title match at Riga, Latvia. Miss Kushnir could not take the title even with a win worth one point in the final game because under international rules a draw in final point totals means a victory for the defending champion. The game however will be played June 26. Grace wins victory for women OTTAWA (CP) A small triumph for women's rights was registered in the almost all-male Commons Friday.

Grace Maclnnis (NDP Vancouver-Kingsway), only woman in the Commons and a persistent campaigner for recognition of women's rights, was the author of the victory, with Manpower Minister Bryce Mackasey an ally. She won acceptance of a four-line insert in government legislation ensuring that federal occupational-training allowances will be available to wives who want to break out of the kitchen and learn a new trade. Mackasey, while remarking that the training-allowances bill as originally drafted woull really have covered women, nevertheless accepted the reinforcing amendment as "a tribute to the honorable lady" and her long-standing campaigning for n's rights. CHESS MEET Toronto man leads TORONTO (CP) Toronto's Lawrence Day took sole possession of first place in the Canadian closed chess championships Friday night when two rivals, matched head-to-bead, adjourned their game after five hours. While Day picked up a win over Leon Piasetski of Mon Auditions for the University of B.C.

Summer Opera Workshop will be held Sunday at 3 p.m. in the recital hall of the music building. Both credit and non-credit applications will be considered. BY ROGER EBERT CHICAGO (CDN) Nobody know very much 'tout him, ad the few fscU have been repeated time and again: He was born in Chicago, raised in several placet but mostly in Brooklyn, learned chess when he was 6. He lives alone in hotel rooms, relentlessly studying the literature of chess.

He has no close friends. He is 29 years old and for a long time now he has been considered the best chess player of all time. One week from Sunday, in Reykjavik, Iceland, Bobby Fischer will find himself seated across a chess board from a stocky, fierce-looking Arme-; nian named Boris Spassky. This Armenian is the chess champion of the world, and it will be Bobby Fischer's mission to reduce the number of Armenian chess champions to iero while raising the number in the United States to one. Bobby could have had a crack at the title several times during the past decade, but at the last moment he al-, ways drew back.

He charged that there was Russian conspiracy to keep the world championshp in So-, viet hands. Conspiracy or not, no non-Russian has played in a championship match since 1951. There were other things Fischer complained about: The lighting was wrong, the flashbulbs were a nuisance, the crowds in the hall would not keep still. But mostly he held back from the series of tournaments leading to the world championship because he said the system was loaded in favor of the Russians. At first his objections were dismissed as petulant and unreasonable, because in the world of chess Bobby Fischer is not well-liked.

A U.S. grandmaster once said of him: "We get the greatest chess payer in his-! tory, and he turns out to be a spoiled boy." But a fair analysis of the tournament system seemed to indicate that Fischer had a point, and the current world championship is the first played under the reformed rules. There are other possibilities. One is that Fischer will find the conditions in Iceland not to his liking, and stage another walkout. This could happen because of Bobby's recent falling-out with Ed Edmundson, who is executive director of the U.S.

Chess Federation and has devoted much of the last two years to keeping Bobby happy. perform during the summer under the provisions of an Opportunities for Youth grant. A salary will be provided.

SATURDAY COLOR Hindsight football draws. But that doesn't necessarily mean much in terms of their championship match. Fischer is in the top of his form, and for the past year has played grandmaster-level chess with more success than any other player in the history of the game. Spassky, however, came In third last summer in a Swiss system tournament in Toronto (where players ranked as equal are played against each other). First and second places were won by Pal Benko and Robert Byrne, two U.S.

grandmasters acknowledged to be Fischer's inferiors. Earlier, Spassky just managed to take first place by a tie-break in the Canadian Open in Vancouver against much the same kind of opposition. And in this year's Alekhine memorial tournament in Moscow, Spassky finished in a discouraging tie for sixth and seventh place. Now he finds himself in Iceland as the sole remaining defender of Russian chess supremacy; recently the Soviet government gave him a larger apartment and a car, and if he wins he will win $78,123 but if he loses he has a great deal more to lose than Fischer. In the meantime, as the world championship approaches, it is amusing to see the news media gearing up for it.

We have never been quite able to figure out how to cover chess. It is a sport, but doesn't go Into the sports pages. It is a game that millions play, and yet newspapers cannot quite bring themselves to believe Channel 2 Chanael 4 Channel 5 Channel Channel 7 Channel 8 Channel 12 'Bugs Sporf 4 p.m. Bugs Demo- Wio Demo- '30 Bunny Sports' Movie Bunny cratic World cratic lij Road Nashville "Juvenile Road Pre-Con- Of Pre-Con- Runner Music Jury Runner vention Sports ventinn Update 'Outdoor News 'Jacques CBS WrestIing CBS Update Sportsman service Cousteau News Wrestling News 'Sailing 'News News Jacques Melba Wrestling 'Cade's r.

In other games, Paul Selick of Saint John, N.B., won over Zvonko Vranesic of Toronto; Leslie Witt, Montreal, over Bob Zuk, Vancouver; Geza Fuster, Toronto, over Roger Smook, Guelph, Ont. and Bruce Amos, Toronto, over Elod Macskasy, Vancouver. Other matches were adjourned until today. The 17-round championship ends June 26. Now available: 1 2 Bedroom Garden During Fischer's spectacular demolishment of his opposition in the preliminary matches (including his 6-0 wi-peouts of Denmark's Bent Larsen and Russia's Hark Taimanov), it was Edmund-son who checked out the playing sites, found the quiet hotel rooms, made sure the fans would not be permitted to bring flash cameras into the hall, and hassled room service fur the chicken sandwiches and prize sirloins.

Now Fischer, who finds it difficult to sustain long personal relationships, is back on his own again. A better possibility, I think, is that Fischer will stay the distance, and that Spassky will collapse from a combination of psychological and chess reasons. Fischer is a dogged fighter who will defend a lost position to tiie bitter end, and there is this curious thing about his opponents: They keep caving in to extreme exhaustion. Tigran Petrosian, the former world champion who was Bobby's opponent in the final challengers match in Buenos Aires, had to check into a hospital at one point. And Larsen, whose personal dislike for Fischer is no secret, apparently found it psy-ciiologically torturing to sit across the board from this arrogant young man who "likes to see 'em squirm." Spassky may feel extra pressure because of his dili-berate and classically correct playing style.

Although Fischer's games have the apparent clearness of a stream of fresh running water, they often have concealed within them Byzantine twists that only Bobby foresees. Chess is a game of legerdemain: Your opponent can see ail of your pieces, and you can see all of his, so you don't conceal pieces but ideas. A winning chess combination is, at its most basic level, a ruthless demonstration of the logical superiority of your ideas. And Fischer is able to bury his ideas so deeply into his middle-game positions (or, perhaps, to extract them from Apartments $94.44 to $137.56 per month (after initial payment) Jo SUNDAY COLOR Enjoy unlimited social and recreational advantages in California's most enjoyable' planned community.

Radio and television find it even harder to cover chess, because the printed record of the moves in a game is the only really satisfactory way of presenting it The concept of a live radio broadcast of a chess match is mind boggling, and perhaps only Bob and Ray could handle it lovely day here in Reykjavik, with sunny skies, and cub scout pack 14 is in the stands for Bobby Fischer recognition day. What will finally happen, I suppose, is that Spassky and Fischer will have their rendezvous with destiny and a lot of people willl not understand why it was so momentous. Chess is a game of the imagination, and its most exciting moments do not happen on the board but in the minds of its players. When Fischer finally makes his move, that is what we see. But the game's passion is to be found in the secret places of his mind, where he considers all of the possible moves on the board, and rejects them, all but one.

That moment of decision is private, and only a chess player can fully understand it.
