Fischer Lifts Veto on Chess Venue
Amsterdam — American chess champion Bobby Fischer has withdrawn his objections to the money terms offered by Belgrade, as one of the sites for the world chess title match, an official of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) said today.
The international federation refused official confirmation, but a spokesman said: “Today, we received a cable to Belgrade asking if they are willing to resume their preparations.
“We will release a communique after reception of the Belgrade reply, but we are prudently optimistic the match will be played,” he said.
Fischer had until today to accept or reject the financial terms offered by Belgrade and Reykjavik, Iceland, for the title match against current champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union.
