TV-Radio Briefs: Chess Match
The world chess tournament (Boris Spassky vs. Bobby Fischer), due to be colorcast over Channel 48 Sunday from 1 to 6 p. m., has a unique story behind it.
The action will take place in Reykjavik, Iceland. The telecast, however, will originate from New York.
Shelby Lyman, a master chess player and instructor, will receive the play-by-play in New York via teletype. He will then duplicate the moves on a demonstration chess board. On a second board, he will demonstrate alternate and counter moves to clarify what is going on.
The game—the first of the series—could go on for five hours, or it could be somewhat shorter. Experts will also be on hand to provide commentary and further clarifications.
