 Reykjavik, Iceland / August 27, 1972 / Game #19

Boris Spassky sacrificed a Knight, but was unable to convert his daring play into a win. This interesting game nineteen, ended in another draw offered by Bobby Fischer and immediately accepted by World Champion Boris Spassky after the move forty. The global score now was eleven to eight points in favor of the contender.
