By ian REYKJAVIK (UPI) Bobby Fischer's big dream comes true Sunday when he sits down at the checkered board to play world chess champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union.

The American chess genius considers the 24-game world championship match a mere formality. lie has said time and again that if he just gets a shot at the 35-year-old champion, he is certain of defeating him. Ever since he learned to play chess in Brooklyn at the age of six, the lanky American grand master, now 29, has cherished one big dream to become the world champion in the oldest and most sophisticated of games. If he succeeds and there are many experts who believe he RUG CO.

He would also pocket five-eights of the prize money, which totals $125,000. The money was put up by the Icelandic government and the city of Reykjavik to win the right to stage the match in this unlikeliest of settings on an island in the stormtossed North Atlantic. To Fischer, chess comes first. But money follows closely behind and the question of money almost ruined the championship. -Eight cities offered to stage the match.

The International Chess Federation (FIDE), nnw run by Euwe, asked the two players to select their candi date cities. Spassky picked Reykjavik, Fischer picked Belgrade, Yugoslavia, which offered $43,000 more than Iceland. FIDE then decided to compromise, playing 12 games in Belgrade and 12 in Reykjavik Fischer objected and said he and Spassky should also get the money from the TV rights. In the end, Belgrade organiz-c is got tired and made a request for a guarantee of $30,000 to ensure that Fischer would turn up. Finally FIDE presented an ultimatum to Fischer: Accept Reykjavik or lose the right to a world championship match: At that stage, with his big dream threatened, i er agreed to the conditions offered by the Icelandic Chess Federa tion.

The Icelanders, although there are only 200,000 of them, are chess-mad and the organiz ers say they are assured of sellout crowds of 5,000 in the Laugardals 1 1 i indoor sports arena. The crowd is another cause of trouble with the temperamental American challenger, who has been known to leave games because the noise nm lOOOx you recently bought some other tereo receiver, this one may make you miserable.
