On this game #12, Boris Spassky entered the game room and sat down five minutes after
Bobby Fischer’s first move. This was seen as a Spassky’s psychological counterattack to the Fischer’s repeated delays in the early games. The first six moves were an exact repetition of game
six won by Bobby Fischer. However, on the next move Boris Spassky makes a variation that seems to surprise
Bobby Fischer by forcing him to react to avoid future complications.
This game ended in a draw. |
