Robert
Fischer resurfaced in 1992
at the little island of Sveti Stefan just off the coast of war-torn
Yugoslavia from a reclusive self-imposed exile to challenge
Boris Spassky to a rematch and reclaim his
crown. This thirthy-game
match was presided by International Arbiter
Lothar Schmid of Germany who presided over the 1972 match in
Reykjavik. The
prize fund was $5.000.000 US, of which the
first player to win 10 games would receive $3.650.000 US. Final score was
17.5 Fischer to 12.5 Spassky. |
