Dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, Boris Spassky, 49, was relaxing in a suburban home before a rare appear- ance. In a few hours, he was to take on 40 opponents in simultaneous chess Play. "I don't usually do this, for two reasons," Spassky said. "First, 1 don't come cheap, and secondly, chess is not only a mental game but a physical one. "The young players today, they can do things like this regularly because they exercise.

They lift weights, they do calisthenics. That is for young I men." He smiled. SPASSKY WAS a guest last week in the Lombard, 111., home of Kenneth Marshall, secretary of the Oak Park Chess Club, the group that SPA 1 regained the championship, Spassky has remained active in international competition and continues to be one of the world's top dozen players. SPASSKY, born in Leningrad, learned chess as a young boy. In 1955, at age 18, he won the world junior championship.

But he moved to France in 1975, where he still lives with his wife and six-year-old son. "I moved to France because my wife is a French national," Spassky said, refusing to place any direct responsibility on the Soviet Union for his change of countries. "I still have dual French and Russian citizenship." Nor would he concede that he was hurt by the way he was treated by the Soviet government after losing to Fischer. "After the loss, I was barred by the government from playing In international competition for nine months," he said. "That was not proper.

After a defeat, it is necessary for a grand master to continue in competition or else he can lose his competitive edge. "But the government had a different outlook. They had been keeping a bill on me for my ideological differences with them when I was champion. When I lost, they presented me with the bill and said, 'Pay The payment was the nine-month suspension." ORIENTAL STAFF BEST SERVICE ri OPFN 7 HAYS A WEEK in lu 1735 N. WILLIAMS UXERD.

Wildlife experts say that last year, the entire 200-strong tuatara popula-: tion on one of its remote island habitats wiped out by human or animal predators. The reptiles, which scientists be-' lieve are living fossils, have been co- cooned through the ages on tiny islands scattered around New Zealand's coast by their isolation and a lack of natural Enemies. I Although thousands of tuataras still survive and are in little danger of becoming extinct like several of the country's rare bird species, New Zealand Wildlife Service officials are con-Teemed that numbers are declining. The tuatara is the only survivor of 1 an order of reptiles that became extinct 60 million to 80 million years ago. jh i "It is not an endangered species, but USE THE U.S.

The wildlife service estimates dozens of tuataras have been smuggled out of New Zealand during the last four years and said maximum fines of $800 (U.S.) are of little help. U.S. authorities have told the wildlife service they suspect the tuatara, trafficking is linked to narcotics trading, with the reptiles used as payment for drugs.

The tuatara grows to about two feet in length, weighs a little over' two pounds and lives for about 100 years, scientists say. Tuataras had disappeared from New Zealand's two main islands by the turn of the century. They now live on only 28 islands mostly off Auckland's east coast, the Bay of Plenty and in the Cook Strait, which separates the two main islands.
