FIDE World Championship  •  Reykjavik, Iceland
August 27, 1972 / Game 19

After this game, anyone could assume that the American player Bobby Fischer had practically the World Title and all needed was the official announcement.  Spassky sacrificed a Knight, but was unable to convert his daring play into a win. This interesting game nineteen, ended in another draw offered by Fischer and immediately accepted by Spassky after the move 40. The global score now was 11 to 8 points in favor of the contender.
