Fischer Sends Agent in Chess Title Check
Belgrade, Yugoslavia (AP) — Bobby Fischer's representative is due here next week to attempt to straighten out problems surrounding the American challenger's world chess title match with Boris Spassky.
But the Belgrade organizers of the 24-game match—to be played here and in Reykjavik, Iceland, beginning June 22—said yesterday that “no new negotiations will be considered.”
The Belgrade group, angered by Fischer's demands for a share of the profits in addition to the $138,500 prize money they offered to put up —withdrew Friday from the original agreement.
