WCC 1972 title

 Reykjavik, Iceland / July 27, 1972 / Game #8

Bobby Fischer arrives to the game twelve minutes late as usual. He accepted the presence of TV cameras on the condition that they be kept at least 150 feet from the Chessboard. Fischer also demanded that Fox’s camera team be replaced. Not wanting to jeopardize his investment, Fox sold the rights to the American TV Co. ABC for $100.000. On the 15th move, Boris Spassky lost the exchange. Whether it was a sacrifice or a blunder, he went on to lose the game.
