all set Everyone in the Reykjavik Chess Hall was holding his breath as the Russian playing the white pieces made the first move opening with the Queen pawn Game Officially On The world championship officially was on But something was missing Fischer He there What was the rush? He had an hour before he had to make the first move Fischer set out to keep Spassky waiting He do it purposely The official clock was ticking but he care Bobby Fischer ALWAYS is late He has been late for more important things than a chess match Even a world championship one And bet on it be late again the way he is Finally after eight minutes during which time Spassky get up impatiently and walked around Fischer appeared He shook hands with Spassky and then sat down in his special swivel chair which he had flown in from New York for these championships Fischer studied the board two minutes then made his first move knight to King bishop three In his own mind Fischer feels one little guy taking on the whole Russian government He feel this way because of any politics the usual politics between

media During the basketball volleyball football table tennis and badminton tournaments the Central Radio Broadcasting Station increased its sports program time and together with the Peking Television Broadcasting Station and Peking Radio provided live coverage of some of the final events All of these sports competitions provide strong evidence that the Chinese leaders are now committed to building up the athletes perhaps with an eye to participation in the Olympic Games in 1976 Meanwhile it seems likely that China will continue to participate in other international sporting activities as well as dispatching goodwill sports teams to foreign countries and inviting their nations to send teams to China Support for that conclusion is found in the special emphasis Peking is putting on such sports as basketball volleyball soccer and badminton AH are highly popular sports in many of the countries the Chinese are most interested in improving relations with especially in Europe and Latin America Judging by unofficial reports from China the decision to give encouragement to sports was taken late last year during a National Sports Conference held in Peking It was decided at that time
