IUMJIU Bobby FfedOT wed to when he last i ehwi Now he admits tint he fe the fjittat chess player In the worlaTd lot of experts agree even though he nas not wen the worid'i ehvn- piowhip.

The moody young man, MM called the Mozart of cheat, bu won his second chess game by teletype in the Capablanca Memorial tournament being heM in, Havana, Cuba. What Bobby Fischer was IS years old he decided that he could beat anyone In New York In chess, so one summer day he went to the Manhattan Chess club where he challenged all comers. Several months later, at 14, the sullen and temperamental boy turned up at the club wearing dungarees, T-shirt and sneakers and won the United States championship, a title he still holds at the age of S. Robert James Fischer learned the moves of chess at the age of 6. He was bom in Chicago on March 9, 1943, after which his family moved to Oregon, to Arizona and to California before settling in Brooklyn.

Bobby loved games, and he and his older sister, Joan, got a chess set and puzzled out tbe directions. His mother, 'Mrs. Regina Fischer, said that as a very young child Bobby "would get those Japanese interlocking rings, and things like that, and take things apart I couldn't figure out at all." One school teacher said: "No matter what he played he had to come out ahead of everybody. If he had been born next to a swimming pool, he would have been a swimming champion." In Ms junior year he dropped out of Brooklyn's Erasmus High school and never returned. After he won the U.S.

championship, the usually reserved chess critics could find no words to describe him. He has been called a miracle, a "fiery genius," and the greatest natural chess player in history. Dr. Hans Knoch, author of recondite chess treatises, once said that "Never before in ail chess history has there been such a phenomenon." But tt was the Fischer personality as i much as the Fischer that captured the chess followers. When he was 11 be turned (ran a poorly dressed, tangle of arms and legs to a handsome brooding young man who affected $200 and $90 shoes.

He now iresses conservatively and scat- ly, but not expensively. when asked by an later- viewer If he considered himself the greatest chess player that ever lived, he answered, "Well, I don't like to put things like that In print, sounds so egotistical. But to answer your question, yes." He said about school that "Tta teachers are stupid. They should not have any women to there. They don't know how to teach.

I don't listen to weaHes." WeaJdes was Bobby's term for non-chess- Jlayers or for players who are not as good as himself. Bobby Fischer's whole Hfe chess. All his friends play and all the jokes that he hinks are funny converge on mowledge of the game. He does not drink nor smoke nor often go on dates or ever to the movies. "You've seen one, you've seen ttiem all," he says of motion pictures.

Edward Lasker, the author of Chess for Fun and Blood, said that Fischer belongs to the latter category "He always wants to kill his opponent." Bobby Fischer plays his pieces with quick and sudden movements. He never relaxes his concentration during a game, although he has been krawn to We his fingernails, kib- tzers press too closely fc waves ihem off. At times he glares mal- jvolently through partially closed lazel eyes at his opponent. Bobby Fischer won the first of us five U.S. ehamphmships in January, 1958, and in September of that year he became the youngest international grand master in the history of the game.

His chess playing Is character, bed by a vast book knowledge of the game, the mastery of thousands of openings, a brilliant end game and die courage to be reckless at times that Is, to give up valuable pieces In order to get himself a better posiUon on the board. Besides being the U.S. most Jrilliant player, he is the coun- ry's most controversial. In July, 1961, a match with Samuel Resh- evsky, an Orthodox Jew, had to be rescheduled from a Saturday to Sunday morning because Resh- evsky would not play on Saturday. Bobby Fischer said he was not used to playing in the mom- ing, and refused to appear.

The game was forfeited. Bobby Fischer earns an estimated $12,000 a year from chess tournaments and magazine articles. His book, Games of Chess, was published in 1959. lives ilone in the walkup apartment Brooklyn in which he was wrought up. His parents were divorced when he was 2, and his mother has since remarried and now lives in England.

She was iraduated from medical school ast year.
