    The name Bobby Fischer, at least to Americans, is synonymous with chess. A prodigy in the 50s, a world class player in the 60s, the 70s saw Fischer at his pinnacle. He earned the right to challenge Boris Spassky in a title run without comparison, defeating Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen with perfect scores of 6-0, and ex-champion Petrosian 6½-2½. Now the stage was set, and the only thing standing between Fischer and Spassky was Fischer himself.
    The match was mired in political overtones, during the height of the Cold War. The Soviet chess system had a monopoly on the title since 1948, and the expectations on Spassky were enormous. While Fischer studied chess virtually in seclusion, Spassky had the full resources of the USSR. Victor Baturinsky, head of Soviet Chess Sports Committee, said: "Basically, the Soviet leadership and the powers that be in sport, were interested in just one issue: how to stop Fischer from becoming World Champion.
    With the match set to begin in Reykjavik, Iceland, Fischer (who had not signed any documents confirming his participation) began to make a number of demands, including a percentage of television rights, a larger prize fund, and all manner of conditions covering everything from the lighting to the chair cushions. To satisfy Bobby's demands of a larger prize fund, British chess promoter James Slater donated a dazzling $125,000 to be added to the prize fund. Fischer still needed more convincing by Bill Lombardy (Fischer's last-minute choice as second), and one famously persuasive telephone call from Henry Kissinger. Mere hours before he would be forfeited, Fischer arrived in Iceland.

    Thank you for this fabulous series on the 1972 championship. My older brother and I were young teens when the Fischer-Spassky championship was played, and we were avid chess fans. My brother was a good player for his age, and I was a bad player for any age. The only way we had of following the matches was by newspaper (no internet or 24-hour cable news in those days!). There was a short paragraph in the next day's paper about each game result, and a listing of the moves. My brother and I spent hours reliving the matches, and he understood a lot more than I did. He was very sure early on that Fischer would win the championship. I was less certain. It is fantastic to be able to relive this championship after these 47 years by means of your videos.

    Thanks Agadmator, I've really enjoyed reliving the match through your series. I was around when it was played and didn't understand it as well as I do now, thanks in large part to your commentary and analyses. Also thanks for supplying links to further research it!

    This was really quite awesome in its historically substantive nature. As a history major who's study was largely on the sub discipline of "micro history", I really can't stress this point enough. You seem to really appreciate the balance that historians are trained to achieve between primary and secondary sources on the one hand and critical analysis of both on the other. If I could have one thing to improve the quality of the experience, it is that a play list of this match would be available, separated from the other Fischer videos. Thank you so much for all of your effort.

    This was a great series man. Really well done. If you're looking for #suggestions for the next series, I'd love to see the second match between Karpov and Kasparov (not the first one with like 900 draws that was eventually abandoned). Purely food for thought.
