Florist And Greenhouses 1712 Oakland Ay a rhm-M4i m-mi The Sign of Savings grandmaster the match for The Associated Press said Fischer had excellent winning chances He said in a clash of grandmasters the one pawn advantage could be decisive In five previous meetings Fischer had never beaten Spassky He lost three playing black and drawn two when he played white and had the first move Fischer needs 12 points to dethrone Spassky while the Russian can retain his title with only 12 A player gets point for winning a fame and naif a point for a draw Spassky won their opening game at Reyjavik last week and was declared winner of the second by forfeit when Fischer failed to appear because he objected to hidden television cameras filming the match Officials overruled the appeal against the forfeit and until the last minute it was uncertain if Fischer would continue He and two lawyers assisting him in Iceland had seats booked on a Sunday afternoon flight to New York but they did not leave Instead at insistence the match was moved to the small room and the audience of paying fans the big sports hall downstairs watched on closed circuit television Apparently Fischer had no objection to that TV equipment challenger Bobby Fischer forced the third game of the world chess championships off the stage and into a private room gained the initiative from Russian title-holder Spassky and was given a good chance to win when play resumes today But the future of the competition remained suspense as aides of Spassky warned that the Soviet champion would refuse to -play any additional games in the private room Play continues at 1 pm EDT with the referee opening a sealed envelope in which Fischer wrote out his 41st move at adjournment The 29-year-old Brooklynite backed down on a threat to fly home Sunday and appeared for the third game in a small upstairs room of the Reykjavik sports hall Spassky 35 playing the white pieces had already made his first move Fighting to overcome the 2-0 lead Fischer forced Spassky to the defensive midway in the 5 hour 18 minute session At adjournment he was in a position to threaten the king At the pause each player had his king queen and one bishop remaining while Fischer had six pawns to five The Rev William Lombardy American grandmaster who is second said Spassky was a bad position' Young COP sets meet-candidates niglit in
