August 17/18, 1972 / Game 15

Boris Spassky begins game 15 with 1. e4, same opening move he made on game 13th playing white too.  Fischer now with a  8½ to 5½ advantage, showed up on time to this game. This game was another Sicilian Najdorf, however Fischer avoided the Poison Pawn variation which had cost him game 11. He lost a Pawn early in the game, developed a strong attack, and missed a win. Game ended with an agreed Draw in 43 moves.
