FIDE World Championship  •  Reykjavik, Iceland
August 20, 1972 / Game 16

At this match, the auditorium had the most spectators ever: about 2500, and Fischer complained again about noise from the people. The first three rows of seats were cleared for the next game. This time, Bobby Fischer arrived ten minutes late to the table. Spassky tried unsuccessfully during the game to win with Rook plus g and h Pawns against Rook plus g Pawn. After move 60, Fischer called for a draw which Boris Spassky accepted it.
