Or had Fischer misjudged giving up the bishop for two pawns and a tenuous position? It will not be known until Fischer talks whether he miscalculated or whether he decided to take Spasskys dare the devil take the consequences Even if Fischer does lose the first game he has achieved the respect of every player here by rising to Spasskys dare and throwing away a sure draw for a speculative attack At adjournment the 29 -year -old grandmaster was desperately -trying to turn to advantage his pawns on kings side of the board grandmasters at the scene felt Spasskys position was superior and Fischer would have trouble drawing When play was called off for the night there was little left on the board: a king and five pawns for Fischer a king three pawns and a bishop for Spassky Perhaps Bobby will draw er rhp YOUE ONE-STOP INTERIOR DECORATORS Rutland Plaza Tel 775-2504 Rutland Vt Frankel's decorators show you the newest fabrics and We will be delighted to bring samples to your home you with your selections worked so hard to perfect It had been installed Tuesday afternoon and met with the approval of both players Tuesday night was to be a busy one for both players and it was unlikely that they would get much sleep The adjourned position is complicated and endless variations will be tested by Spassky and Fischer and their respective seconds Galler and the Rev William Lombardy They would not be alone: every chess player at the scene would be trying out his own variations at home or in the chess clubs chess lovers preferred to watch the action over television monitors pocket chess sets in front of them while drinking beer or eating some of the calorie -sensational pastries that Icelanders love Downstairs there was a lecture room in which Icelandic experts presided over a demonstration set hung on the wall This room was crowded with Icelanders jostling each other and even standing on chairs in order to see and hear the analyses There was much movement in halls and passageways in sharp contrast to the solemnity within All the demonstration equipment worked beautifully The closed -circuit television Custom-Made draperies slipcovers upholstery designer window shades concentrated mostly on a demonstration board which of Spassky had his head locked in course kept up with each move his hands If the inferior of auditorium resembled a place of worship from time to time a large silence sign blinked on the exteriors were more reminiscent of Yankee Stadium at the seventh -inning stretch Even hot dogs were on sale There is a large cafeteria in Exhibition Hall and hundreds of The definition of the television picture was sharp and clear Every so often the lens shifted to a picture of the players or to a close-up of the board itself the' marble inlay that artisans had HADLEY Furniture Salesroom TM THKATftK IN EAST ARLINGTON VERMONT (w tbp back rood teliMdMttrj COMPLETE HOME FURNISHINGS IN Solid Rock Maple Appalachian Cherry Northern Hard Pine High Pressure Laminates end Unfinished Groupings Bedding and Occasional Pieces Quality Low Low Prices Wp prg hprt I ppryp rcto tad wgadd wocitota (bp Ohum dp po Houne- WMttMp te 4 i a eqey Quang Tri Will Be Bypassed of only 13 government We will measure your windows install rods and hang all your draperies and custom BankAmfricapdV window shades cut slipcovers in your' own i home and pick up and deliver yourTJphol- stery at no charge a loss troops Hanoi radio said Monday that its forces had shot down an American warplane in Quang Tri Province on Saturday The American Command here has not commented but its reports on downed planes are often delayed for several days also down Few details were available but reports indicated that all the crewmen had been rescued Two pilots were wounded reports said The enemy offensive that began on March 30 across the demilitarized zone had taken the entire province by May 1 in what was a humiliating rout for the South Vietnamese: After regrouping and bringing up the countrys two best divisions the paratroops and marines the government began a counteroffensive two weeks ago After marching north against light resistance for about 12 miles government troops reached the outskirts of Quang Tri Town a week ago to find it defended by tanks artillery mortars rockets and determined infantrymen in bunkers The heaviest American air strikes and naval shelling of the war failed to dislodge the defenders They have struck back with counterattacks often with tanks The South Vietnamese Command reported four Communist attacks Monday night and Tuesday morning in the vicinity of the province capital Tanks were used in three of them The command said iight tanks were destroyed and 92 enemy soldiers killed against STILL CONTINUING! -EVERYTHING SUMMER IS ON SALE!
