Bobby Fischer Breaks Boris Spassky's Ego - Best Of The 70s - Fischer vs. Spassky, 1972 G6

The 1972 World Chess Championship match between Fischer and Boris Spassky was a tremendous contest that ultimately concluded Fischer's untouchable 1970-1972 period (and even his career...). Game six was a breaking point and a model demonstration of how to defeat hanging pawns.

"I like the moment when I break a man's ego." - Bobby Fischer.

The above quote is commonly attributed to Fischer, but as far as I can see he never quite said this sentence. Here is what he did say in an interview with Dick Cavett:    • A Very Different Bobby Fischer
