July 11. At the beginning of play, Fischer was not present. Spassky played 1.d4 and pressed the clock, and nine minutes elapsed before Fischer arrived, shook hands with Spassky, and responded 1...Nf6] The opening was a placid Nimzo-Indian Defense. After a series of piece exchanges it appeared to be a dead-drawn ending, and no one would have been surprised if the players had agreed to a draw here. Shockingly, Fischer played 29...Bxh2 as shown, a move that few players would consider in light of the obvious 30.g3, trapping the bishop. In exchange for the lost bishop. Owing to unusual features in the position, Fischer had good drawing chances despite having only two pawns for the bishop, but the position became hopeless after he made at least one more bad move 40th before the adjournment, which took place after move 40. Fischer could still have drawn the game with the correct 40th move]. He resigned on move 56.

  • I proved this was a forced draw even with the error

    • At this point where the match is over, the chances for a draw are very low, maybe Fischer could do something about it sooner.
