Fischer had written his next move down when the game adjourned Sunday and the play- bishop to 06 to check Spasskys king was made by referee Lothar Schmid. The Russian champion took one quick look at the board and stopped the clock. Schmid earlier upheld a protest from Spassky to move the third game back into the main sports hall from a table tennis room, where it was moved because Fischer objected to closed circuit television cameras.
