WCC 1972 title

 Reykjavik, Iceland / August 8/9, 1972 / Game #12

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.
