Soviets Ready to Negotiate Chess Match Site
(UPI) Moscow — The Soviet Chess Federation has said it is ready to start final negotiations for terms of the World Chess Championship match between Boris Spassky and American challenger Bobby Fischer.
Tass, the official news agency, said the federation sent a letter to the International Chess Federation president Max Euwe saying it wants to meet with all parties concerned to “thrash out all questions and to sign a final agreement.”
The letter said the Soviets were ‘ready, in principle, to study the question of holding the first half of the match in Belgrade and the second in Reykjavik before July 1.”
