Since 1948, the USSR had dominated the World Chess Championships -
evidence, Moscow claimed, of the superiority of the Soviet system.
But then came Bobby Fischer. A dysfunctional genius, Fischer was
uniquely equipped to take on the Soviets. His every waking hour was
devoted to the game and he had steamrollered all opposition to
reach the championship. When he became increasingly volatile, Henry
Kissinger telephoned Fischer and urged him on to fight for his
country. Against him was Boris Spassky: complex, sensitive, the
most un-Soviet of champions. As the authors reveal, when Spassky
began to lose, the KGB decided to help him to fight back.
