Where Is Bobby Fischer?
New York, N.Y. (AP) — Bobby Fischer failed to make his scheduled flight for Iceland Wednesday night and gave no indication when he would depart for his World Championship chess match with Boris Spassky, scheduled to get under way Sunday in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Fischer did not take his place on a Pan American Airways jet-liner that left for Reykjavik.
The next scheduled flights to the Icelandic capital are today and Saturday.
Chester Fox, an entrepreneur who has exclusive visual broadcast rights to the match, said he had spoken to Fischer earlier in the evening but was unable to say when Fischer planned to leave for Iceland. He would not disclose where the conversation took place.
Fischer was not available for comment, and his whereabouts were unknown.
