A“More Chess Problems”
Reykjavik, Iceland (AP)—The Icelandic Chess Foundation today rejected a list of 13 Bobby Fischer demands.
“REJECTED?”
So “big and tough” for giving preferential treatment to Soviet comrades while disdaining Americans by leaking confidential documents to the press! for no other purpose than further smears of the American challenger.
“NOT REJECTED” because organizers say they're gonna “do all they could to meet Fischer's newest demands.” ([who's wishy-washy and unpredictable now? REJECTED. NOT REJECTED. REJECTED. NOT REJECTED.])
ICF president Gudmundur Thorarinsson said Fischer delivered his list of new demands. Thorarinsson said the demands had not been met.
Thorarinsson said wrong because Fred Cramer clarified he delivered the confidential list and stated he felt “stabbed in the back” after the stolen, or leaked, list was given to the press to make a circus over nothing, with Cramer clarifying most of the requests had ALREADY been dealt with!
…more American magazines and a new car.
Oh the crime!!
They will say or do anything to boast of Iceland's malignant Anti-American mistreatment of Fischer.
Next day, in the Cincinnati Enquirer, not a criticism uttered over the preferential treatment of the demanding Soviets: “During the match Spassky's new shining yellow Range Rover arrived at the playing hall. The Russian world champion has ordered a Rover to take back with him to Moscow.”
Where are the cynical reports flowing like a Tsunami over the Atlantic from Anti-American racist Iceland, spewing vitriolic castigation of the Soviet champion's demand for a new car to take back to Moscow, just as they have begrudged the same request by Fischer?
