29 The Spokesman-Review, Friday, July 14, 1972. Sulking Fischer Forfeits Match, Says Movie Cameras Bother Him During the hour there were telephone calls hack and forth between the Sports Palace and Fischer's hotel. Spassky, who left the stage at times, emerged from behind the curtains after Schmid's announcement, bowed to the crowd and left. FJ I night with Fischer's second, the Rev. William Lombardy, and Cramer, trying to settle the question.

The cameras had been officially sanctioned. Under Rule 21, the taking of pictures during the match by official photographers is allowed as long as cameras are "neither visible nor audible." Richard Stein, lawyer for American promoter Chester Fox, said "we did everything we could" to appease Fischer. Fox, who bought exlusive film rights for the match, reported that Fischer admitted he could not see or hear the cameras but "said they bothered him because he knew they were there." Stein emphasized that Fox could not comply with Fischer's Many Complaints The match has been plagued by trouble from the start. First, the contenders couldn't agree on where the championship should be held. So they compromised half the match would be played in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and half in Reykjavik.

But when Fischer balked, asking for more money and indicating he might not show up unless this demand was met, the Belgrade backers dropped out. The match was then rescheduled entirely in Iceland. there would be a game on Sunday as scheduled. The row over the cameras began early Thursday when Fischer said he couldn't play alongside them in the Sports Palace. Fox, whose purchase of television and film rights for the match allowed the Icelandic chess federation to offer a record $125,000 in prize money, said the cameras had to stay.

In an attempt at compromise, Fox's lawyer Richard Stein sent Fischer a letter at 5 a.m. appealing to him to at least talk about the problem. Appeal Ignored "As a folk hero of the Americans, you must permit millions of Americans to share this experience with you in their homes, for the benefit of chess and for the benefit of the rest of the world," Stein's letter said. Fischer ignored the appeal. Ten minutes before the match was to begin, Fred Cramer, a U.S.

Chess Federation official, called the match organizers to say Fischer wasn't coming. Spassky entered the hall on time and took his place at the table. At game time Schmid started Fischer's clock as the rules required. Spassky looked perplexed. At the end of an hour, Schmid announced to an angry crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.

Fischer did not appear in the playing hall. According to Rule No. 5, if a player is more than one hour late he loses the game by forfeit." REYKJAVIK. Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer forfeited Thursday's chess game with world champion Boris Spassky. He stayed in his hotel room, sulking because of movie cameras in the playing hall.

His balk for the second in a 24-game schedule left the score 2 to 0 in the Russian's favor. This gave Spassky a powerful psychological advantage over Fischer, who has never beaten the champion. Fischer knew before he came to Iceland to play for the world title that the match would be filmed. And Chester Fox, the promoter who owns the three cameras, said they were out of Fischer's sight and hearing. "He said just knowing they were there bothered him," Fox said, adding later: "I pity the poor guy." All attempts to get Fischer to the chess table where he lost the first game to Spassky on Wednesday proved futile.

The temperamental American chess whizz even turned down an appeal based on his responsibilities as a "folk hero of the Americans." Future Clouded The future of the match, said chief referee Lothar Schmid, now depends on whether Fischer persists in his walkout. Schmid said the International Chess Federation could intervene and disqualify the American challenger, allowing Tussia to keep the world title it has held for 24 years. But at the end of the day, Schmid said "I just love the life-jacket drills you feel so thin when you take the jacket off." "I'll say it was a horror movie! I saw Alvin there with another girl!" demand because "the whole financial structure of the match depends on it." Fred Cramer, an official of the U.S. Chess Federation, made the phone call to Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, informing him of CAN PO I HOOK hot.
