Wednesday, July 12, 1972 THE SUN A-3 Platform Chess Championship Analyzed 3,000 Stage Protest At Demo Convention By ISAAC KASHDAN LOS ANGELES (AP) Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky had good prospects for a win when the first game of the world championship chess match hetween the Russian and Bobby Fischer of the United States was adjourned yesterday. Actually, until near the end, it was one of the dullest championship contests on record. It was no surprise when Spassky, who had the white pieces and made the first move, started with advance of his queen pawn. After 40 moves and five hours of play, Spassky was a bishop ahead. The U.S.

challenger had five pawns to Spassky's three and his king was better placed. This may prove to sufficient compensation. Long hours will be spent by both players and the seconds in examining all the possibilities of the position. Each principal has a grandmaster to assist him, Yefin Geller for Spassky and the Rev. William Lombardy for Fischer.

Of most interest to chess buffs in the opening game was the question of who would be the aggressor. Would Spassky try for a quick initiative, or would he develop quietly to see what Fischer would do? Fischer practically always goes for the win, whether ahead or behind. Fischer played a defense popularized in the 1920s by Aron Ninzovich of Denmark. For the first nine moves, the game was identical to one played in 1951 between Petrosian and Tolush of the Soviet Union. Two moves later, the queens were exchanged, and the pawn formation was left in exact balance.

More pieces soon went off the board, including all the rooks by the 23rd move. At that point, First Game of Chess Match Adjourned (Continued From A 1) Free expression and privacy; child advocacy; national health insurance; ratification of the equal rights amendment; rights of poor people, servicemen, consumers, youth, veterans, American Indians.

Farming and rural life Farm income must be improved; price ceilings on agricultural products will be resisted until farm prices reach 110 per cent of parity; support for family-sized farms.

Keynote Speech (Continued From A 1) when the business lunch of steak and martinis is tax deductible, but the working man's lunch of salami and cheese is not?" Askew said people were questioning a system "that they feel has become so large, so complicated, so unweildly, that it has gone beyond their reach But, he said, "there's something; happening in this country.

It already has been given many names, and undoubtedly will be given many more I believe that we're coming to the dawn of the maturing of America (when) Americans will understand the failure of violence, as a way of promoting or of resisting change." Askew called on his party to lead the way into this new tomorrow, declaring that "if we can pool our strength and harness our energy, If we can join the wisdom of yesterday to the hope of tomorrow, if we can talk together, if we can work together, and above all, if we can stay together, then nothing can stop us from making a change and winning a better life for all our peoplp." it seemed only a question of time before one of the players would propose a draw and the other would accept. The chance of error was not worthy of consideration with players of this stature. But it happened. On his 29th turn, Fischer took a pawn that was unprotected. Both players knew that the bishop which captured the pawn could be trapped.

What had Fischer seen? It must be put down to a rare miscalculation by the American genius. Perhaps he had thought of a resource by when the bishop might escape. ZZ Spasskv could then continue B-KtS; 34, KxP, BxP; 35, B-Q2, and the black bishop is still lost. In the remaining moves of the session, Fischer put up all the resistance possible. It remained to be seen whether he could recover from the one error.

loser $100,000. Both will share in revenue from television rights. Fischer, 29, of Brooklyn, N.Y., did not show up in time for the original starting date nine days ago, remaining in New York in an unsuccessful attempt to force the Icelandic organizers of the match to add a percentage of the gate to the original $125,000 purse and 30 per rent of the television rights. Fischer, who had beaten three international grand masters in order to qualify as Spassky's opponent for the tide, agreed to come to Reykjavik only after a British banker doubled Ihe purse with a personal contribution of $125,000. Then Spassky demanded a personal apology from Fischer for the delay.

The American gave it to him in a letter delivered during the weekend. The match could continue for as many as 24 games. As champion, Spassky needs 12 points to win. Fischer needs 12.5. One point is awarded for a victory, and one-half point is awarded to each player in a draw.

The games will be played on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. If games are adjourned, they will be completed on Wednesdays, Fridays and Mondays. But Did He Save The Fifteen Cents? SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Nine-year-old Bob Rowlands didn't like the idea of losing 15 cents in a soft drink machine. So he wpnt after it up to his elbow. It took maintenance men, vending machine operators and firemen four hours to free him.

(Continued From A 1) pieces, or defense, would give him a chance in the second game when he plays white and has the initiative from the start. From their first moves, both contenders played briskly, trading queens in the 11th and 12th moves but taking no advantage through even the 20th move. The game began precisely on time at 5 p.m., but Fischer did not appear for several suspence-filled minutes. Fischer, dressed in a blue suit and white shirt, shook Spassky's hand, quickly sat down and look two minutes to respond to the champions' opening queen gambit by choosing the Nimzo-Indian defense. The American broke Spassky's mobilization of heavy pieces in the 14th move but later in the game erred by sacrificing his last bishop against two pawns.

Father William Lombardy, Fischer's second, said the American meant no slight to Spassky by arriving late. "The traffic was just a bit more heavy than we had expected and we arrived at the hall only a few minutes before match time," Lombardy said. Early in the game, Fischer went over to the arbiter a couple of times and appeared to be objecting to a huge sign in blue, white and red showing the International Chess Federation (FIDE) emblem and the name of the Icelandic Chess Federation. The sign decorated the stage where the two players sat alone with the arbiter and his deputy, Fischer only left the table twice to drink some orange juice. He first complained it was not cold enough but was satisfied when ice cubes were produced.

Spassky spent much of his waiting time walking about the stage and disappearing to the restrooms behind. None of the players ran inlo lime trouble and Fischer's late arrival did not appear to have affected him badly. Spassky, playing white, opened with pawn to queen four. Fischer opened with his knight to king bishop three. From there, the game proceeded briskly, the players trading pawns in the 9th and 10th moves and queens in the 11th and 12th moves.

The match, being played for a $250,000 purse as well as the world title, already has been delayed twice from its originally scheduled starting date of July 2. The winner will receive $150,000, the 27. KT-B4 B-B2 28. Kktxkt BXKT 29. P-KT5 BxP KR7 30.

Meanwhile, about fifl SCLC supporters went to Sen. George McGovern's headquarters at the Doral Hotel demanding 750 floor seals for "poor people" lobbyists. A McGovern aide gave them six floor passes, but an SCLC coordinator said unless all 750 were seated civil disobedience would result. The group was offered 100 gallery seats, but SCLC field secretary Golden Frinks of Edenton, N. refused them, saving: "We want to gel on the floor." The SCLC also hopes to have the convention accept the poor people's platform, which includes planks calling for a guaranteed annual income of for a family of four, Frinks said.

"If we to get the 750 scats, we will try other action, like blocking intersections," Frinks said. "We'll put 750 in jail as a symbolic suffering and then the responsibility would be on the Democratic parly." Stirs Debate The Harris dissent called for a graduated business tax, to increase the tax load on big corporations. But these dissents seemed to pose no real threat to ultimate adoption of the tax and welfare planks that were lailorcd lo McGovern's liking and carried his endorsement. The majority planks included language that pledged abolition of the present welfare system and would permit the substitution of a system of direct federal income grants, payable in cash to the poor and as tax credits to the more affluent. Though the draft lacked specifics, It made ample room for McGovern's program for redistribution of income.

It also endorsed the Mills-Mansfield bill providing a three-year phaseout of virtually all tax preferences and loopholes. This automatic repeal schedule would compel Congress to study everv deduction and exemntion and decide Individually whether to keep them or drop them. The delegates had a three-way choice on school busing. The platform committee's draft, supported busing as one method nf improving education and arhievinrr school integration. A Wallace, plank called for a constitution amendment barring busing for the purpose, of racial balance, as well as legislation forbidding the courts to order busing for racial balance.

An additional middle-road dissent endorsed busing only when used to improve quality of education. "TTOx MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) More than 3,000 protesters, ranging from Cuban refugees chanting "Cuba must be Freed" to antiwar demonstrators carrying Viet Cong flags, marched in front of Convention Hall last night. The groups gathered in front of the complex and several hundred riot-equipped police stood by as the Democratic National Convention entered its second session to consider a platform. "One, two, three, four, we don't want your racist war," shouted young demonstrators who numbered about 2,000.

In their ranks were the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Students for a Democratic Society, Yippies and Zip-pies. A short distance away Cuban exile protesters shouted, "Long live Cuba, long live truth. We don't want coexistence." "We come here in peace," said a spokesman for the refugees. "We want the people inside the convention to know thai, we want to go back 1o Cuba. We want a free hand to buy guns." Spokesmen for the young radical Demo Platform (Continued From A 1) drawal of all U.S.

forces in Indochina." The defeated Wallace plank railed for release of all war prisoners as a precondition to ending hostilities. An endorsement of school busing as one means to further quality of educa-t ion and racial balance. The Wallace plank proposed a ban on required busing for racial balance. A call for abolition of capital punishment. Wallace's plank urged its preservation.

A fairly strong call for control of hand guns. Wallace asked endorsement of the citizens right to bear arms. No reference to prayers in public schools. Wallace had asked that they be permitted. An endorsement of strong anti-inflation curbs, including controls on profits, dividends, prices and executives salaries as well as wages.

The Wallace plank called for reliance on competition, not controls. Abolition of the present, welfare svstem, and Its replacement, by a system of federal payments and other pay measures to assure all Americans of Incomes above the poverty level. Thp Wallace plank called for higher Social Security payments, screening of welfare recipients, and other measures. Sen. Fred Harris of Oklahoma plugged for drastic tax changes assuring "equal taxation of all income," wiping out all exemptions and deductions and replacing them with a uniform income tax credit.
