Belgrade, April 27 (UPI)—The International Chess Federation has contacted four European cities in its search for a host for the first part of the world championship match between challenger Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, Bozidar Kazic, secretary of the Yugoslav Chess Federation, said today. He sent telegrams to organizers in Paris; Reykjavik, Iceland; Dortmund, West Germany; and Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. The second part of the match is scheduled for Reykjavik. The first part was originally slated for Belgrade, but organizers there backed out last month when Fischer reportedly said he wanted a larger share of the profits.
