No idea. As far as I know they gave in to all Fischer's demands, except the 9-9 rule, which says that with a draw the excisting World Champion does retain the title. But does the challenger with 9-9 win the title ? I'm too lazy to find out. I just wonder, when Fischer was so confident why didn't he accepted that rule. Afraid to play a draw match against Karpov?

No idea.

To diagnose a heavily out of breath Fischer would be more easy: find out if he is walking a stair or not :-). But I don't think he has a neurological disease. You know my opinion, Fischer is certainly crazy but to give it a medical label is very difficult.
