4 the STAR-PHOENIX Saskatoon, Saturday, June 24, 1972 ARCHIE By BOB MONTANA Fischer Spassky meet Iceland prepares for matches REDEYE-By GORDON BESS master Yuri Averbach, said; His spirit was completely broken after the sixth game of the match. There is some strange magnetic influence in Bobby, Averbach said. The same happened with his two previous opponents in his march for the world title, grandmasters Mark Talmanov and Bent Larsen. They were also spiritually wrecked after the first couple of games. But many experts feel Fischer will be up against a different problem in Spassky, who took the world championship from Petrosian in 1969 and has earned broad respect for his attacking flair and deep determination, Iceland was fixed as the site of the championship only after Fischer, the International Chess Federation, and the Soviet federation were involved in a tor tuous series of quarrels and negotiations over several possible sites and financial arrangements.

But there is an intrinsic logic to the site. With an American threatening to break the longstanding Soviet monopoly on the chess summit, this North Atlantic island is nearly a midway point between the two vast countries. In addition, Icelanders have long been among the most devoted of chess players. From the middle ages, the game has been a favorite pastime in the long northern winters. This country of only 200,000 people has produced grandmasters like Fridrik Olafsson and others well-known in the chess world.

The Icelandic chess union has offered $125,000 in prize money. The championship will go on for 24 games unless one of the players cinches the series first. Spassky, 35, will be defending a Soviet hold on the title that has remained unbroken for 24 years and the dominant player for two decades before that was a Russian-born chess genius who lived in France, Alexander Alekhine. Fischer, a former child prodigy who was once thought to-have blighted his career by a series of seemingly temperamental withdrawals, has now emerged as a chess juggernaut. Experts remain divided on whether he will be able to demolish Spassky the way he did former world champion Tigran Petrosian, also of the Soviet Union, last autumn to gain the right to challenge for the title.

PetVosian is famous for his patient, systematic play, but analysts agreed that Fischer shattered his game. After their Buenos Aires series, oqe of Petrosians analysts, Soviet grand REYKJAVIK (Reuter) Ice-land is enthusiastically preparing to play host to a world chess championship likely to gain the attention of more people than any other event of its kind ever held. The contest, opening July 2, has become one of the most fascinating confrontations in the centuries-old history of chess. The American challenger, Bobby Fischer, poses the biggest threat in many years to the long hold of Soviet players on the title, and has established a reputation as one of the most colorful and enigmatic players ever to reach world status. When he meets the formidable world champion, Boriss Spassky, the 29-year-old Fischer will be riding the crest of an extraordinary string of one-sided victories over top players in the elimination tournament which made him the challenger.
