History: Challenger In 1972, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky faced off for the World Chess Championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, in what became known as the "Match of the Century." Fischer won 12.5–8.5, becoming the 11th World Champion. However, Fischer lost the first game due to a blunder and forfeited the second over a dispute with the playing conditions. The match seemed headed for forfeit, but Spassky, unwilling to win under those circumstances, conceded. The third game was moved to a back room to accommodate Fischer's discomfort with the cameras, and he went on to defeat Spassky.
