WCC 1972 title

 Reykjavik, Iceland / August 24/25, 1972 / Game #18

Again, Bobby Fischer arrived punctual and moved e4 which Boris Spassky replied with c5. The Russians linked Spassky’s erratic play with Fischer’s chair. The Icelandic organization put a 24 hour Police guard around the chair while x-ray and chemical tests were performed on the chair. Nothing unusual was found. This Game ended in another hard fought draw, where both players had chances throughout the game.
