The match between Wor ld Champion B or is Spassky and his challenger B obby Fischer was scheduled to begin, in the Icelandic capital of R eykjavik, on July 1st. B ut ther e was no sign of Fischer . The opening cer emony took place without him, and the fir st game, scheduled for July 2nd, was postponed. Then finally, in the ear ly hour s of July 4th, Fischer
ar r ived. Fr eder ic Fr iedel nar r ates. People fail to r emember or r ealize just how outstanding his r oad to the top was and people need to under stand. The chess str uctur e of today is NOTHING like it was back in his day. The USSR had a str anglehold on chess and nobody was able to br eak into this at all befor e B obby.

I'll just say this. I r espect Fischer as one of the gr eats because he was a one man wr ecking machine, and he made it to the 'summit of ever est' by himself basically(or at least that's what i think, cor r ect me if i'm wr ong). Spassky, while gr eat, along with all the other gr eats, had mor e suppor t than Fischer i think, and at the time, Fischer also had huge
r esponsibility on his shoulder , mor e than other nor mal GM's or R ussian GM's(unless you wer e WC, but even then you had/have the whole 'soviet school' still).
