Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Now supremely confident of his chances of winning both the eighth and the ninth games, which would give him the match, Bobby rather formally declared that he would dethrone Spassky.

Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z One advantage Spassky enjoyed, though, was a rule stipulation called “draw odds.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z A British player, Robert Wade, supplied Bobby with a detailed analysis of Spassky’s openings in two loose-leaf books, one marked “Spassky; White” and the other “Spassky: Black.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Also, since he was preparing to play Boris Spassky for the World Championship, his lawyers and U.S. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky provided a way back to the board.

Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z After Petra’s revealing book was published, Spassky was very upset, primarily because he didn’t want the woman or her book to come between him and Bobby and ruin their good relationship.

Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky appeared on time at the backstage location; at first he sat in Fischer’s chair and, perhaps unaware that he was on camera, smiled and swiveled around several times as a child might do. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Bobby walked rapidly to the board, sat in his chair at precisely 3:30 p.m. on September 2, 1992, stretched his right arm across, and shook Spassky’s hand. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Bobby believed, they said, that the Soviets were so enraged by his winning the crown from Spassky and thereby diminishing their greatest cultural achievement that they wanted him murdered. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z At that time it looked as though the match with Spassky would have a total prize fund of $138,000, the highest amount ever for a chess match. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Schmid recalled later that “for a second, I didn’t know what to do. Then I stopped Spassky’s clock, breaking the rules. But somehow I had to get that incredible situation under control.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky wanted a short postponement before the start of the match. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Fischer, after moving to collect Spassky’s gift, sat back in his chair, grimly, staring at the Russian—studying him.

Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z After shaking hands, Spassky humorously tested Fischer’s biceps, as though they were two boxers “weighing in.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky’s respect for his nemesis bordered on adulation and possibly even fear. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z On the same stage where Fischer and Spassky had fought it out for two months, an orchestra now played, but the music was a pleasant potpourri from The Tales of Hoffmann and La Traviata. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z In many ways, “unlucky thirteen” was the pivotal game of the Fischer–Spassky championship encounter. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z “What happened?” he asked, and Schmid said: “Mr. Spassky has resigned.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky had a bishop and three pawns against Fischer’s five pawns. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Certainly, he never made anywhere near a profit from the Fischer–Spassky match, despite the revenue from admissions fees, the sale of souvenirs, posters, television rights, etc. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Fischer began fighting for a draw, but Spassky’s moves were a study in precision and his position got stronger. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Indeed, some of the Icelandic officials were convinced that Spassky was the better player and that he was going to defeat Fischer rather easily anyway. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky was just being used to convince Fischer to “come back to chess.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Chess players were beginning to regard the forthcoming Fischer–Spassky duel as the most important match ever played by an American. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Fischer drove to the Saga Hotel early on the morning of July 6 and accompanied the bellboy to Spassky’s room to watch him slide the apology under the door. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Fischer, without hesitation, tapped Spassky’s right hand—and Spassky opened it to reveal the black pawn.

Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z In the final game, Spassky played his twenty-seventh move—it was hopeless at that point—and then resigned. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z As a result of Spassky’s letter, Bobby never spoke to Petra again, but he accepted his friend’s apology and maintained cordial relations with Spassky. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z So what made Iceland the ideal country to stage the Fischer–Spassky match? Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z In the end, a second letter was composed, and it was this version that was finally presented to Spassky. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky had made his first move precisely at five, and Schmid had started Fischer’s clock. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Is it too much to hope that even at this late state he will regain his balance and fulfill his obligation to the chess world by trying to play Spassky without histrionics? Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z A federal grand jury in Washington began what turned out to be a smoke-screen investigation accusing Fischer of money laundering after his match with Spassky in 1992. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Most of the residents started out wishing for Fischer’s victory, but after the numerous false starts, threats, and general difficulties Bobby caused, sympathy began to swing to the gentlemanly Spassky. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z The initial footage was intriguing, however, since it provided the first real glimpse of Bobby since his match with Spassky in 1992. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z In the evenings, in a state of quiet contemplation, he began his exhaustive inspection of Spassky’s games. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z The Russians insisted that a lighting fixture above the stage be taken apart to see if there was an electronic device hidden there that might be affecting Spassky’s play. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Back at the time of the sanctions controversy, Spassky wasn’t indicted by the French, and Lothar Schmid wasn’t indicted by the Germans. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z It became clear, however, that Titomirov had no interest in yet another Fischer–Spassky contest, but wanted a Fischer–Kramnik match instead. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky appeared on stage at two minutes to five, to a round of applause. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky wrote: “I have a brother’s feeling toward Bobby. He is a good friend.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z While Spassky was supported by a small army of helpers, Fischer basically toiled alone. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky was two seats away, and eventually Bobby stretched his hand across and they shook. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Normally, such a “recommendation” had the force of law, but Spassky refused, as politely and diplomatically as possible. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky gaped for about ten seconds, thinking about what to do, and finally sat down. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z He came back in the second half of the tournament and ended just a half point below Spassky. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky’s defense of his title became, symbolically, a defense of the Soviet Union, and the Russian’s millstone was a heavy weight to bear. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky ensconced himself in the Caucasus while Fischer settled in the Catskills, more than seven thousand miles away. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z But there was true camaraderie between them that went beyond just chess and that Spassky was always quick to express. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z There’s no reliable statistic documenting how many people embraced the game as a result of the publicity surrounding the Fischer–Spassky match, but some estimates put the number in the millions. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z It contained his own notes on Spassky’s games, jotted in pencil, with comments and question marks designating poor moves, exclamation marks designating good ones. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z The fact is, Fischer’s first win over Spassky was more than a narrowing of the gap. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Photographic blowups of Fischer and Spassky adorned the windows of almost every shop, with black-and-white checkered displays serving as backdrops for huge papier-mâché chess pieces. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z “First of all, I’ll look at the games that I can find of all of the players, but I’m only going to really prepare for Bronstein. Spassky and Olafsson, I’m not that worried about.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Asked if the bout would be a grudge match, he replied: “In a sense. But not personally between me and Spassky...it’s against the Russians.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky concealed a black pawn and a white pawn behind his back in the time-honored fashion and then brought his closed hands forward across the board. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Bad news: He was to have black against both Bronstein and Spassky. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z When the match’s venue was moved to Belgrade, Slobodan Milosevic, the president of Serbia, met Bobby and Spassky and asked to be photographed with the two. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Eventually, it became clear that Spassky could queen a pawn. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z There was just a bit of compassion in Fischer’s eyes, which turned the episode into a true Aristotelian tragedy: Spassky’s terror combined with Fischer’s pity. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Further, he felt that the $3.5 million he had won in his match against Spassky was money garnered illegally by Vasiljevic. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z One object was found in Spassky’s chair that was not in Fischer’s otherwise identical chair! Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky was already en route to his hotel. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky agreed to everything in the contract, and said from his home outside of Paris: “Fischer pulls me out of oblivion. It is a miracle and I am grateful.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky was angered when he learned that he was not being considered for the match with Fischer, and he used insulting language when referring to Titomirov. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z If he could draw every game, giving him 12 points, Spassky would retain his title without winning a game. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z At the closing ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Piatigorsky posed for a photograph with Spassky on one side and Fischer on the other. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Ilyumzhinov also offered to put up millions for another Fischer–Spassky match, but all Bobby would say was “I am only interested in Fischer Random.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z It had been more than thirteen years since the second Fischer–Spassky match, and people were saying, fearing, he might never play again. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky had been informed that Bobby’s condition was serious, but he wasn’t aware that it was grave. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Sensing that Petra would reveal secrets, Spassky warned Bobby to “be careful.” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z A reporter asked him about a supposed offer of $1 million for a match against Spassky in Las Vegas. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Playing—and winning—a rematch with Spassky would, to some extent, prove that Bobby’s prowess was intact. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z He showed each new move on a demonstration board and attempted to predict what Fischer’s or Spassky’s next move might be. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z “I should have played here as my sealed move,” said Spassky, moving a little plastic piece and trying to demonstrate how he might have held on to the game. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Fischer arrived twenty minutes late for the drawing of colors, and he and Spassky met backstage. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky, looking uncomfortable, sat on Bobby’s right, and Vasiljevic, smoking a meerschaum pipe and appearing relaxed, was on his left. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Just before Spassky left Reykjavik, Bobby had delivered to the Russian at his hotel an amiable letter and a gift-wrapped camera as a token of friendship. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z “Even Polgar and Spassky, both World Champions, understand what I’m talking about,” he said to no one in particular, becoming more strident as he went on. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z On his forty-first move Spassky decided to adjourn the game: This would enable him to take advantage of overnight analysis. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Fischer agreed if Spassky would drop the demand for a forfeit. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky was seated in the first row, elegantly attired in a gray-checked vested suit. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Boris Spassky saw a copy and wrote Bobby a letter of apology for having introduced him to Petra. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z He felt he’d complied with the wishes of the Soviets by making the apology to Spassky, writing it by hand and personally delivering it, and he’d just agreed to go along with Spassky’s postponement. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z It was a courageous act, and one that called for much finesse and force of will on Spassky’s part. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Though it seems ludicrous to suggest that the outcome of the Fischer–Spassky match was predictable after only two games had been completed, one point going to each player, the case can be made. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z When Spassky arrived, he was told that Fischer was still sleeping and had sent Lombardy to draw for him. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z The story of how Fischer went into a swoon in the tournament’s first half, tying for last, yet ended up in the penultimate round tying for first with Spassky, has been told many times. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Unnerved, Spassky refused to draw and left the hotel in a huff. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky flew back to Paris, and Bobby boarded a train for Germany. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Did he mentally replay some of his games with Spassky? Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky wanted to go through with it, but no deal could be arranged. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Schmid put his arms around Spassky’s shoulders, saying: “Boris, you promised me you would play this game here. Are you breaking that promise?” Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z He’d demonstrated in the past that he could, though admittedly infrequently, draw with Spassky. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky seemed to have no animosity for the man who’d defeated him, although he knew he was going to face difficult times when he returned home to Moscow. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Only three weeks before Bobby’s death Spassky had sent his old friend a lighthearted message, telling him to obey his doctors, and that when he “escaped” from the hospital, he should get in touch. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Not only had he lost, but he’d been unable to prove to himself—and the public—that he could win a single game against Spassky. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z He gave nine before the match ended, not counting brief comments that were made jointly with Spassky after each game. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z He was buoyed when he played over Spassky’s games in the recently concluded Alekhine Memorial tournament in Moscow. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z By the time they reached the thirtieth game, Bobby had won nine games and Spassky five. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Spassky didn’t look him in the eye as they shook hands—rather, he continued to study the position. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Zita’s father was a diplomat and an official of FIDE, and Zita had other contacts in the chess world who might help her find a sponsor for a Fischer–Spassky rematch. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Former World Champion Boris Spassky once said that he dreamt about chess, and David Bronstein, a World Championship candidate, talked about playing whole games in his sleep—ones he could reproduce the next morning. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z A Russian minister, Sergei Pavlov, head of the State Sports Committee, had cabled Spassky, furiously insisting that he return home to Moscow. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z To conquer Spassky and become World Champion, he’d always needed to collect 12½ points, and a win would get him to that magic number. Endgame 2011-02-01T00:00:00Z Almost as soon as the duel with Mr. Spassky was over, Fischer disappeared from public view, only to return two decades later as a decidedly unheroic figure.
