When the Cold War Was Decided on the Chessboard
In 1972, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky battled for the World Championship in the most widely followed match in chess history. Fischer strangely lost the first two games – the second even by forfeit when he refused to play due to a dispute over playing conditions.
When the tournament organizers refused his demands and the match appeared destined for a forfeit victory, Spassky yielded – it would have been a hollow victory.
The Historic Turnaround With These Pieces
Fischer fought back and decisively defeated Spassky with a final score of 12½-8½, having won 7 and lost only 1 of the remaining games. The 24-year Soviet reign was over. The American had single-handedly toppled the mighty Soviet chess establishment... With these pieces.
This isn't just a chess piece set – it's a piece of chess history.
