The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counter-attacked in the holdout department. The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. It said Fischer, by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title. The statement demanded that Fischer be punished.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another postponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48-h postponement of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday.
