When American chess genius Bobby Fischer defeated the king of the evil Soviet chess empire, Boris Spassky, it was hailed as the chess match of the century. Twenty years later Fischer has emerged from a reclusive self-imposed exile to challenge Spassky to a rematch and reclaim his crown. The stake, a cool $5,000,000, the venue, strife-ridden Yugoslavia. Could Fischer defy both U.N. sanctions and the chess experts and recapture his old brilliance? Would Spassky avenge the defeat that destroyed his career? A team of international Masters analyses the electrifying return of Robert James Fischer. ‘Jerusalem Post’ chess correspondent, Nigel Davies, traces the careers and legendary rivalry between the two contestants. The latest moves are covered by Jonothan Levitt and ‘Daily Telegraph’ chess correspondent, Malcom Pein.
