Fischer and Boris Spassky, the Soviet world champion, were scheduled to play their fifth game at 1 p.m. EDT today. The score is now 2xh-V-h in Spasskys favor, the fourth match Tuesday having ended in a draw. Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the host federation, said Fischer delivered his list of new demands Wednesday night. He said they had not been met.

Thorarinsson said the American challenger, who is a late riser, was still asleep and had not been told of the refusal. The Rev. William Lombardy, Fischers second, said he could not say whether Thorarinssons refusal would jeopardize the game today. Although many of Fischers demands were trivial, such as exclusive use of the swimming pool at his hotel, he also asked for written authority to have film cameras removed from the playing hall if they disturbed him. Fischer objected during the first game to the three cameras that were to film the match for American promoter Chester Fox.
