Chess matches are not usually world happenings. But with the keen interest caused by American Bobby Fischer challenging Russian Boris Sassky for the world titie, it a tin re-ut situation.

The Icelandic Chess Federation has put up close to lor the 24-game match, to lie lield for two months in Reykjavik, Iceland, shil ling Sunday. Tiie games will 1 played in the Reykjavik Sportshail which seats about persons. The match will be open to the public, and tickets will cost ii a game or $75 for tine 21 scheduled games.

JULY GIANT DISCOUNT have haj) a crack at the world title year ago. Was it fear? Fear of what? Bobby has been pnx.laiming )i0li that lie is the world's best player.

He pmUbly is. When he is moving forward, he tramples oier everybody. Virtually nothing matters to him except chess. He reails everything tiicre is hi he read about tiie game, studies it, abscij or discards; what he has read. His opening skill is uninue, and his retentive memory for all the games he has played is absolutely fantastic.

The only possible criticism one make on his play is that his endings are not always perfect. Vet no one will continue battling so fiercely and so long as Bobby in iositions thai look hopelessly drawn. Ollen he wins these. Some masters have said that he is lucky. Nonsense! As the great German Grandmaster Siegbert Tarrasch has said: "The good player is always lucky." What happened recently to make Bobby lake virtually all his slops forward on his way to establishing that he is the: "real" champion of the world? Minn of the credit must so ti) a man who decided tu make it his business to see thai Fischer's path was smoothed.

Bobby has always made specific demands Lithlint; must be so good that no shaduws of the pieces fall on ilie board. Quiet must prevail. He has to be paid and paid well by chess standards. When his terms weren't met, tie usually didn't play, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund Edmondson (I'SAF, ret), business manager of the U.S. Chess Federation, placed himself at Fischer's side.

He saw to it that tile young gemus got his Coke, his orangeade, his milk, his sandwich often before Bobby knew he wanted it. He looked over playing sites tnontlis before a match iir order tu be sure they met Bobby's exacting standards. He sought out the quietest and most comfortable hotel rooms. (Eischer tends to work ail night on chess positions, going to sleep about 6 a.m.). It was Edmondson wlto made Hie transpoiialion arrangements and wlw dickered on financial terms.

In 1D70, Edmondson spend hair months with Fischer a the latter slashed through the barriers between him and Champion Boris Spassky. In Vancouver, B.C., he waxed Mark Tainionuv 6-0; in Denver, against Bert Lar-scii, it was again 6 0. Finally, in Buens Am, the last barrier, former World Champion Tigran Eetii.sian, fell relationships with Bobby Eischer hind to Ik; siiort-lived. As of tins writing, he has decided to sever himself from Edmondson. What this may mean in terms of the World Giampiotiship match starting this weekend in Keykjavik, no one can tell.
