where ex-Tacoman Brian Bressler (Lincoln High Class of 1950) traveled this week to become a regular per former on bilities for the 11 pieces remaining cn the green-and-white chessboard in Reykjavik's Spoils Hall: king and five pawns for Fischer king bishop and throe pawns for Spassky The match had appeared headed for a draw until Fischer tried to seize the initiative on his 29th move 1 The lanky Brooklyn NY challenger galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal to snatch an unprotected pawn Spassky had offered A few moves later the bishop was trapped and lost in exchange for two pawns A draw counts half a point and a win a point in the 24-game championship match To dethrone Spassky Fischer needs 12ft points while the Russian can retain his crown with 12 points The' winner will get $153125 in prize money the loser $91875 and in addition they will divide equally an estimated $55000 or more from film and television sales The progression of moves in the first game of the World
