WCC 1972 title

 Reykjavik, Iceland / July 25/26, 1972 / Game #7

World Champion Boris Spassky in an attempt to even up the point deficit against the candidate Bobby Fischer, starts this game with 1. e4 which is very unusual from him. Bobby Fischer, that showed up four minutes late, replies with a similar agressive move moving his Queen’s Bishop Pawn to squares ahead (1. ... c5) turning into a Sicilian Defense game. This game ended in a draw (perpetual check) even though Bobby Fischer had a two Pawn advantage.
