And not to mention he totally threw away one game and blundered away an other one with a very uncharacteristic-blunder, but also has to be said how much Boris Spasky was a true gentleman, because he could have simply claimed the title when Fischer just refused continuing the match in the beginning, making all kinds of crazy demands. So kudos to both men, in their own ways I would say 👏

And during that run Bobby played in two strong blitz tournaments as well, with Herceq Novi being one of the strongest ever held with a score of 19/22, 4 an half points ahead of Tal which he beat twice an took first place, and he beat the Russians that palyed in it 8½/1½, with Korchnoi being the only one to beat him as Bobby beat him as well with the two games they played against each other in the tournament. Then like 7 or 8 months later in Manhattan blitz tournament, Bobby scored 21½/22. So two strong blitz tournaments which he crushed and a 20 game winning streak as well on his way to the world championship, I think Taminov was right, Bobby was a machine.

Fischer didn't just beat Spassky, he beat the russian chess machine. I don't know how matches are played now, but when Fischer played for world champion, the games could be paused over night. Both players were allowed to record the chess position and could spend the night analyzing the game and planning for the next day's resumption of the game.
And that's what Fischer did. Alone. But there was no one around at that time sufficiently versed in chess that could provide him any assistance.
Spassky, on the other hand, had his entire entourage of a couple dozen (as I recall) grandmasters that reviewed the position long into the morning while Spassky himself got some rest and looked at their results when he awoke.
And still Bobby Fischer beat Spassky for world chess champion.
Another item. After his success, Fischer disappeared completely. I don't think anyone really knows why. They kept wondering if he was going to appear to defend his title.
But he never did.
And so I wondered about this. Why would Bobby Fischer, who really loved and lived chess, disappear? At that time, the world chess championship took place every three years. He would have won again had he played. And he might have held onto the title for a couple decades. Who knows? He was so far beyong every other player in the world. He went up against and defeated the Spassky's entourage, the russian chess machine, all by himself.
So why would he so completely disappear?
I am mesmerized by the mysterious nature of his disappearance, and I have thought about what or who could have convinced him to disappear.
The KGB. I think the russians were quite upset, having retained the world chess champion title for so long, that they warned or threatened him never to play again on pain of death. Maybe they told him to go into hiding. Maybe they imprisoned him somewhere to ensure he couldn't play.
As far as I know, when he finally came out of hiding, he never said anything to anyone where he was during those 20+ years. I think he was in Camodia or Vietnam or one of those smaller asian nations when he emerged.
So what could have made him go into hiding and not ever talk about it?
