20 The Windsor Star, Thursday, July 13, 1972 Fi Spassky aides find opening iscner lusses over cameras (EDITOR'S NOTE Harry Golombek, an international chess grandmaster, has been three times British chess champion and a judge in six previous world chess championship matches. He is chess correspondent for The Times of London.) By HARRY GOLOMBEK Special to The Windsor Star REYKJAVIK Although, when play was adjourned Tuesday night after 40 moves, the result seemed unclear and champion Boris Spassky's winning possibilities uncertain, an overnight analysis by his assistant trio of grandmasters Efjim Geller, Nikolai Krogius and Nej showed that challenger Bobby Fischer's position was not really tenable in the first game of the World Chess Championship. The first few moves went much as an 29-year-old American challenger had never signed the Amsterdam agreement, but FIDE officials said they felt Fischer was bound by it because he had cabled his acceptance. Chester Fox the American company owning the television rights, said it would seek another meeting with Fischer's representatives before Thursday's game in an effort to resolve differences. Income for the rights were vital to the Icelandic organizers who said they could lose nearly $100,000 if the match were called off.

the 56th move. Two other cameras placed in towers out in the hall had been taken away at Fischer's request before the first game began Tuesday evening. Schmid said FIDE could not accept Fischer's latest demands because the so-called 'Amsterdam agreement," made by the organizers and the two players, allowed closed-circuit TV coverage of the match, the sources said. Fred Cramer, vice-president of the U.S. Chess Federation, who announced Fischer's demand at the closed meeting late Wednesday, noted that the tion, the Icelandic organizers of the $250,000 match and American companies owning the rights to televise the games.

Chess sources said Fischer would forfeit the second game of the 24-game series if he failed to appear within one hour of the 5 p. m. (1 EDT) starting time Thursday. Angered by the presence of two closed-circuit television cameras high above the contest stage, Fischer got up and walked out for 35 minutes during the second day of play Wednesday. He later returned to concede to the Russian on REYKJAVIK, Iceland (LTD The unpredicable Bobby Fischer, one game down in his bid for the world chess championship, threatened early Thursday to stay away from the second game unless all television cameras were removed from the auditorium, international chess sources said.

Fischer, who lost the opening game to world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union on the 56th move Wednesday, made his demand known at a closed-door meeting with representatives of the International Chess Federa Fisher's clock was going. However, he had plenty of time. Fred Kramer, vice-president of the American zone of the World Chess Federation, called in the police and the cameraman was ordered away. When play was resumed, Fischer's position went downhill rapidly, until he reached a point where he was unable to move without material loss. Desperately, he shifted his king over to the other wind and did indeed succeed in removing one or the world champion's pawns.

But Spassky's king was busily engaged in capturing Fisher's pawns. Fischer resigned on the 56th move when it was apparent he was miles behind in the pawn race to secure a fresh queen. So the score now stands: Spassky 1, Fisher 0, and the favorite has met with an unexpected defeat. Nevertheless, this is what happened to him last year in his final match in the candidates' series against Petrosian at Buenos Aires, and he still won that match easily. Will he recover his nerve in the next game, when he has the white piece? I have the feeling that Fischer is very much like the wounded lion who is never so dangrous as when he is first wounded.

We shall see Thursday. One thing is certain, the match is very much alive, and we shall see many great games and exciting struggles. ticipated, but then. Fischer's defence became more and more difficult. With a few short sharp strokes, Spassky beat back his oppo IiBfbtit nent's king.
