FIDE World Championship  •  Reykjavik, Iceland
August 29/30, 1972 / Game 20

Once more, Fischer opens this game with e4 and Spassky adopts the Sicilian Defense by replying with c5 as in games 4 and 18 which both ended in a Draw. Fischer chooses the Ritcher attack on move 6. Bg5 instead of his favorite line Leeonhardt Attack (6. Bc4) which he played in game four.  In danger of losing the game twenty, Bobby Fischer claimed a draw by triple repetition. It was the seventh consecutive draw.
