THE HERALD STATESMAN, YONKERS, N.Y., WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1972 -rr Hartsdale chess master sees ::5 personality dispute in Iceland (1 Vr fi 'v r. i ft By LEK RICHARDS Ird HARTSDALE- mature, but very outspoken lor a Russian; hes privately critical of his government -though he'a the last defender of the Russian faith. He'a a Russian, not a Communist." Fbr the last 25 yeara the Russians have dominated the -chess world, but never prod- uced a player like Spassky, who single-handedly oversha- dowed the rest. Kv Ui 0 0 WE'RE NOT SURE THAT THIS CAR PARKE i but it hat been in the tame spot I AT 6ff VIRGINIA AYE. IS ABANDbNED for three months without being ticketed.

HlH PMta fey It ksSn City gets no out of BORIS 8FA88KY PARAPHRASING another American rhesa grandmaster, Larry Evans, Blsguier described Spassky as the "lazy Russian hear." "if SpAssky can slnrt out well, Iiohby's In trouble," the Hartsdale chess master explained. "Boris is tough and OPEN FRIDAYS TILL 1:00 P.M. Ive known Hobby Fischer. Mince he wm In knee-putts, but whnt I can't bo sure of is what he feela about the cheat champlonnhlp at thin moment." On what waa supposed to be the eve of the long-awaited Atria Spaasky-Bobby Fincher world cheta champlonnhlp' match, Arthur Blsguier, former U.S. cheat champion, aat la the amall aludy of hit Harta--dale home, puzzling over the myateiy of Fischer and the patient confidence of Spaaaky.

The champlonahlp, which waa to begin In Reykjavik, Iceland thin past weekend, waa postponed on Fischer's request by Iotemalloaal Chess Federation president, Max Euwc. DESCRIBING fit ESN as "a buttle of personalities and character quite as much as a battle of ability," Blaguler mid that by not showing up on time and openly making comments about Spassky, line her was "playing games." The outcome of (hr match will depend on whether Fischer ran shed the "monkey sign Spassky has placed over him, according to Blsguier. The two have met over the chess board five times previously, and despite his perfect lifetime match record, Fischer has yet to beat the Russian. They've "drawn" (tied) three times and Spassky has won twice. Nstlonal chess champ from 1954 to 1957, Just before the triumph of the young Fischer, Blsguier has played and beaten both Fischer and Spumky.

WEIGHING their present chances against each other, Blsguier leaned bark in his modern black leather chair under shelves and shelves of chess books and shrugged equivocally. "Our chess rating system will tell you Fischer Is the greatest chess player that ever lived, and I'm Inclined to agree, Blsguier remarked.

Its not necessarily the 'best chess player who Mins." Las Vegas odds maker Jimmy the Greek has put the match at 10 to 7 for the U.S. Fischer.

Blaguler rates Spassky higher, both as a player and a friend. "I like Bobby. My wite Is one othe few people I ever remember his being polite to, the former champion commented. It's Just that he never grew up. His sense of values is different from the rest of us." BINGUIKR CALLED Fischer's personality "mercurial" and "beguiling, a "paradoxical combination of naivete and experience." Always playing to win, even In games that appear to be ellnched, Fischer's temperament, his "pure idealism, bars him from letting up the way all other chess players do from time to time, according to Blsguier.

In order to save their mental strength, most players, he said, will lose a game they dont need or offer a draw to an opponent they don't need to heat. "Fischer doesn't understand all these things," Blsguier observed. "When I first lost to Fischer the European players said, Arthur, how can you let this kid do that to you? Later on he did it to them."
