Dateline 1775 Chess Official: Fischer Ready To Play Karpov MANILA (AP) Deposed world chess champion Bobby Fischer intends to be active this year and is willing to play against reigning world champion Anatoly Karpov of the Soviet Union, a Philip- pine official of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) said Monday. FIDE Vice-president Florencio Campomanes said he had had two telephone conversations in a week with Fischer, who reiterated his willingness to play Karpov. "But the Russians have never made a move to contact Fischer," Campomanes said in reference to Karpov's statement earlier in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia.

Karpov, who won the title from Fischer by default last April 3, said he is ready to discuss the proposed match with the American player personally and declared: "I have made the first move." Campomanes said Karpov's remark sounds "like a broken record." He added that "Karpov has never bothered to contact Mr. Fischer through the telex number I had transmitted to the Soviet Chess Federation as early as two months ago after they, doubted that Mr. Fischer was indeed willing to play with him."
