48: 2847: 8558:). The game swung one way, then another, and was finally adjourned at move 42 with Fischer having an edge in a sharp position but no clear win. The Soviet team's analysis convinced them that the position was drawn. Fischer stayed up until 8 a.m. analyzing it (the resumption being at 2:30 p.m.). He had not found a win either, but managed to win a complicated pawns-versus-rook endgame after Spassky missed a relatively simple draw with 69.Rc3+. Spassky's seconds were stunned, and Spassky himself refused to leave the board for a long time after the game was over, unable to believe the result. He remarked, "It is very strange. How can one lose with the opponent's only rook locked in completely at g8?" 2743: 1810: 2431: 2224: 2017: 1602: 2951: 1706: 2120: 3668: 3639: 3599: 3572: 3530: 3511: 3308: 74: 2639: 1914: 3471: 3335: 3274: 88: 4137: 3896: 1498: 1394: 1070: 850: 4229: 3988: 2535: 2328: 633: 3444: 464:(the US National Security Advisor). Commentators, particularly from the USSR, suggested that all this (and his continuing exorbitant demands and unreasonable attitude) was part of Fischer's plan to "psych out" Spassky, while Fischer's supporters claimed that winning the World Championship was the mission of his life, that Fischer simply wanted the setting to be perfect for it when he took the stage, and that his eccentric behavior was no different than it had always been. 1180: 58: 16319: 11679:. But the games in this match proved to be his last public competitive games for two decades. Fischer had, prior to the match, felt that the first-to-12½-points format was not fair, since it encouraged whoever was leading to play for draws instead of wins. He himself adopted this strategy in the match: after having taken a comfortable lead, he drew games 14–20. With each game, he coasted closer to the title, while Spassky lost a chance to fight back. 16329: 3400: 3377: 1290: 740: 3711: 11391: 11177: 11142: 11114: 11079: 10819: 10798: 10784: 10707: 10450: 10415: 10359: 10352: 10082: 10075: 10061: 10054: 10026: 10012: 9675: 9654: 9336: 9308: 9054: 9040: 9019: 9012: 8977: 8970: 8622: 8315: 8308: 8301: 8294: 8287: 8273: 8238: 8231: 7969: 7941: 7913: 7857: 7836: 7815: 7519: 7512: 7449: 7435: 7176: 7134: 7113: 7092: 7050: 7029: 6780: 6738: 6731: 6710: 6682: 6390: 6369: 6060: 5983: 5717: 5710: 5675: 5654: 5321: 5314: 5293: 5251: 4986: 4951: 4944: 4916: 4902: 4860: 4846: 4804: 4529: 4522: 10854: 10770: 10471: 10408: 10103: 10068: 9385: 9315: 9005: 8984: 8364: 8210: 7934: 7906: 7554: 7484: 7183: 7036: 6759: 6724: 6032: 5962: 5689: 5605: 5328: 5300: 4937: 4811: 11454: 11447: 11440: 11433: 11426: 11419: 11412: 11405: 11398: 11170: 11163: 11156: 11149: 11135: 11128: 11121: 11107: 11100: 11093: 11086: 11072: 10868: 10861: 10847: 10840: 10833: 10826: 10812: 10805: 10791: 10777: 10763: 10756: 10749: 10742: 10735: 10728: 10721: 10714: 10700: 10499: 10492: 10485: 10478: 10464: 10457: 10443: 10436: 10429: 10422: 10401: 10394: 10387: 10380: 10373: 10366: 10345: 10338: 10138: 10131: 10124: 10117: 10110: 10096: 10089: 10047: 10040: 10033: 10019: 10005: 9998: 9991: 9984: 9977: 9970: 9963: 9956: 9731: 9724: 9717: 9710: 9703: 9696: 9689: 9682: 9668: 9661: 9647: 9640: 9633: 9626: 9619: 9612: 9378: 9371: 9364: 9357: 9350: 9343: 9329: 9322: 9301: 9294: 9089: 9082: 9075: 9068: 9061: 9047: 9033: 9026: 8998: 8991: 8963: 8956: 8949: 8942: 8935: 8928: 8692: 8685: 8678: 8671: 8664: 8657: 8650: 8643: 8636: 8629: 8378: 8371: 8357: 8350: 8343: 8336: 8329: 8322: 8280: 8266: 8259: 8252: 8245: 8224: 8217: 8203: 7983: 7976: 7962: 7955: 7948: 7927: 7920: 7899: 7892: 7885: 7878: 7871: 7864: 7850: 7843: 7829: 7822: 7808: 7801: 7568: 7561: 7547: 7540: 7533: 7526: 7505: 7498: 7491: 7477: 7470: 7463: 7456: 7442: 7428: 7421: 7197: 7190: 7169: 7162: 7155: 7148: 7141: 7127: 7120: 7106: 7099: 7085: 7078: 7071: 7064: 7057: 7043: 7022: 6808: 6801: 6794: 6787: 6773: 6766: 6752: 6745: 6717: 6703: 6696: 6689: 6675: 6668: 6661: 6654: 6439: 6432: 6425: 6418: 6411: 6404: 6397: 6383: 6376: 6362: 6355: 6348: 6102: 6095: 6088: 6081: 6074: 6067: 6053: 6046: 6039: 6025: 6018: 6011: 6004: 5997: 5990: 5976: 5969: 5955: 5724: 5703: 5696: 5682: 5668: 5661: 5647: 5640: 5633: 5626: 5619: 5612: 5598: 5591: 5584: 5377: 5370: 5363: 5356: 5349: 5342: 5335: 5307: 5286: 5279: 5272: 5265: 5258: 5000: 4993: 4979: 4972: 4965: 4958: 4930: 4923: 4909: 4895: 4888: 4881: 4874: 4867: 4853: 4839: 4832: 4825: 4818: 4797: 4515: 4508: 4501: 4494: 4487: 4480: 4473: 4466: 4459: 4452: 4445: 4438: 4431: 11385: 11066: 10694: 10332: 9950: 9606: 9288: 8922: 8616: 8197: 7795: 7415: 7016: 6648: 6342: 5949: 5578: 5245: 4791: 4425: 960: 8845:

3054: 12843:"Fischer lodged a formal protest less than six hours after the forfeiture. It was overruled by the match committee... Everyone knew that Fischer wouldn't accept it lightly. And he didn't. His instant reaction was to make a reservation to fly home immediately. He was dissuaded by Lombardy, but it seemed likely that he'd refuse to continue the match unless the forfeit was removed." Brady 2011, p. 193 11994:"Spassky, of course, was carrying a burden that Fischer was not laden with: he was playing not only for himself, but also for the Soviet government, the Soviet system. He represented an ideology. Soviet chess players were supreme, so the theory went, because the Soviet social, political and governmental system was so much better." Roberts, Schonberg, Horowitz & Reshevsky 1972, p. 108 18327: 5896:. Before the match began, the Soviet team that had been training Spassky debated about whether Fischer might play an opening move different from his usual 1.e4. "But when the question was raised as to whether 1.d4 or 1.c4 could be expected of Fischer, Spassky replied: 'Let's not bother with such nonsense – I'll play the Tartakower . What can he achieve?... 11323:

6274:"Lombardy was ecstatic: 'Bobby has played a steady, fluent game, and just watched Spassky make horrendous moves. Spassky has not met a player of Bobby's genius and caliber before, who fights for every piece on the board; he doesn't give in and agree to draws like the Russian grandmasters. This is a shock to Spassky. 12794:, pp. 74–80, taking into account previous analysis by others. He states that 29...Bxh2 was a bad move, giving White excellent winning chances without any compensating chances for Black. But the position was not lost after that move; only after two more errors (37...Ke4?! and 39...f5?) was Black was clearly lost. 8868:
