Thursday night after the referee in the world chess championship ruled that he had forfeited the second game to Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky by not showing up Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall Since the American challenger lost the first game on Wednesday referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday but the future of the match was very much in doubt Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott He added that the World Chess Federation FIDE could step in at any time and disqualify him But Dr Max Euwe president of the organization said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American a record $125000 purse to the two players and Fischer and Spassky are also to divido a share of the movic-TV money estimated at a minimum of $55000 before conceding defeat in the first match Intense negotiations through the rest of the night and all day Thursday failed to coax him from his hotel room homes for the benefit of chess and for the benefit of the rest of the Fischer didn't budge and five minutes before the starting time a US Chess Federation official Fred Cramer telephoned that Fischer would not appear The white pieces and with them the first move were Fischer's as the loser of the first game At 5 pm the scheduled starting Schmid started the playing dock When the hour time limit for the first move by Fischer passed the referee announced: A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox who bought the movie and TV rights for the match from the Icelandic Chess Federation said the cameras had to stay because whole financial structure of the match depends on it" It was the prospect of movie and TV sales that allowed the Icelanders to offer Fox said Fischer admitted he hear or see the three cameras but said they bothered him because he knew they were Fischer had objected first to the cameras Wednesday night and left the chess board in the sports palace for half an hour did everything we could said

International Grandmaster The forfeit by Bobby Fischer in the second game of the world championship chess series with Boris ably signals the end of the aited ene halt before it started on July 2 i

Chess Federation who had a hand in drafting the agreement two attorneys in Iceland Paul Marshall and Andrew Davis both of New York have been consulting with legal experts with a view of possible action in Icelandic courts for the first game Fischer failed to show up and this writer said at the time that he should have been disqualified immediately The delay granted at the time was contrary to

forefeit seemed equally wrong based on the language of the agreement No doubt there is considerable and de latest in a long series of controversies that has plagued the match organizers for months With a two-point deficit it is not likely that Fischer will take his seat for the third game set to begin in Reykjavik at 1 pm Sunday If he does not appear he will most likely be dis-qualifieds by the International Chess Federation rather than through a forefelt procedure each game If he does continue Fischer will need 12 points of the remaining 22 games Spassky The one game completed is evidence of something wrong with Fischer His error on the 29th move was one of the worst of his career It was certainly the easiest of Spassky's four victories over Fischer in their lifetime careers Two other games were drawn Fischer has never scored over Spassky served feeling against Fischer and the officials may have de termined to give him no further consideration Fischer had the right how Gun Battles
