NEW CASTLE NKYVK, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1972 KORTY-SKVKN Fischer outdoes Namath, Allen in doing his thing By MILTON KICHMAN Wes Parker mulled it over States even know the rules but Spassky, Russia's world cham minutes, then made his first move. Fischer didn't set out to keep Spassky waiting. He didn't can still get a draw. In this first of 24 games, Sjassky played the way everybody thought he would conservatively. That figured because if this whole business winds up even, say 12-12, Spassky goes back home to Russia the same way he came to Reykjavik-world champion.

Fischer has the first move in a y's second game, though. Watch him go! He'll play a completely different game. You can bet on that, too. Wes Parker doesn't have to be a chess expert. He's still got Bobby Fischer lagged perfectly.

an astonishingly large percentage has begun following ttrr game the past few weeks. Only because of Bobby Fischer. Here's a pale, studious, almost timid-looking 29 -year-old one-time Boy Wonder who makes guys like Joe Namath and Dii-k Allen look like a couple of amateurs when it comes lo doing his own tiling, his own way and in his own good time. The opening match in Reykjavik Tuesday was a perfect example. Word had filtcicd down thai Fischer was "go, go, go" for that first match with Hons UPI Sports Writer NEW YOHK (UPI) "Do you play ehejs'f" "No," said Wes Parker, first baseman for the Ixis Angeles Dodgers anil owner of one of baseball's more active minds, "bul I'm interested in the game." "Ynu mean the world championship going 'on in Iceland now?" "Yes, I'm following it." "Because of this guy Fischer?" "He's the main reason, I suppose." "How do you feel about him, do ynu like him or not?" "I like him," "Why?" awhile.

"i like him because he has said Parker, using a word which is perfectly okay in a baseball clubhouse but not in a family newspaper, a word meaning not only brass but much more, and one which describes Bobby Fischer, the pensive, seemingly strange chess genius from Brooklyn perhaps belter than any oilier word yon can think of. Chess dates back to antiquity and lias been called the most serious game played by man. It's such a serious game and requires so much concentration, relatively few men play it. Less than 5 per cent in the United pion, All the embroidery had been taken care of. The drapes, the TV cameras, the lights, the chess board, all the things Fischer had kicked about.

Spassky was all set. Kveryone in the Reykjavik Chess Hall was holding his breath as the Russian, playing the white pieces, made the first move, opening with (he Queen pawn, The world championship offi cially was on. But something was missing. Fischer. He wasn't there.

What was the rush? He had an hour before he had to make the first move, knight to. King bishop three. In his own niitid, Fischer1 feels he's one little guy taking on the whole Russian government. He doesrft feel this way because of any politios, the usual politics between countries, that is, but because of chess polities. Regardless, he always played to win.

Tuesday's first game was adjourned, meaning each man had made his allotted 40 moves in the five-hour time limit with no decision being reached When (lie game is resumed today, Spassljy will have the upper hand although Fischer flo it purposely, Die official Hock was ticking but he didn't care. Bobby Fischer ALWAYS is late. He has been late for more important tilings than a chess inaich Even a world championship one. And bet on it, he'll be late again. That's the way he is.

Finally, alter eight minutes, during which time Spassky got up impatiently and walked around, Fischer appeared. He shook hands with Spassky and then sat down in his special swivel cliair which he had flown in from New York for these championships.
