title: Fischer / Spassky Report on the Chess Match of the Century
author: Richard Roberts
description: RICHARD ROBERTS is a professional editor at The New York Times and amateur (in alphabetical order) astronomer, French horn player, herpetologist, naturalist, ornithologist, pianist and sailor. And - oh yes - chess player. He is also the president of the Long Island Environmental Council and the owner of a beard born in 1948 when he was a student at the Sorbonne. In his spare time he hunts mushrooms, makes wine and writes books one of them being The Collier Quick and Easy Guide to Chess. HAROLD C. SCHONBERG, the senior music critic at The Times, is a prolific author and an enthusiastic chess player. AL HOROWITZ-whose by-line has also appeared on myriad books as L A. Horowitz - was for many years the chess columnist for The New York Times. He is an international master and a winner of the U. S. Open chess tournament. SAMUEL RESHEVSKY is an international grandmaster, many times holder of the U.S. Chess championship, the chess columnist for The New York Times and a frequent competitor in top-level international play. A child prodigy, he was the only U. S. chess player to compete for the world championship in a special tournament organized after the death of Alexander Alekhine in 1946. He is considered one of the world's foremost analysts.
