Chess Match
During the last year, I have become one of millions across the country to discover the fun and excitement of chess. In the last two years, there has been a tremendous rise in the number of chess players in the United States. As a result, international championships are of great interest, especially Bobby Fischer's upcoming match with Boris Spassky in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in May. Where can I obtain a play-by-play transcript of the Fischer-Spassky match? —Jim Smith, Le Mars, Iowa.
EDITOR: You assume a great deal. Officials of the Sioux City Chess Club indicate no location or date has been picked for the world champion chess match. Belgrade is the highest bidder for the match, but it could be held in the United States or Argentina. Also, the match may be conducted in April, May or June. The English notation of the game can be obtained by subscribing to Chess Newsletter, which is published the 1st and 15th of each month. It can be ordered through Chess Digest Magazine, P.O.
