Both
players start this game with the Ruy Lopez opening which they know
very well. Fischer
won the game crushing Spassky's Breyer Defense (9...Nb8) in a
sharply played Ruy Lopez. William
Lombardy, later remarked that he could not understand how Spassky
could endure Fischer's behavior for even a single game. Realizing
that their genial star was being beaten, the Soviet authorities
attempted to recall Spassky back to Moscow. |
