Astonishing to consider that Fischer was an American hero in 1972 and Spassky was the villain. It's hard to imagine more exemplary sportsmanship than what Spassky displayed in that match. I get upset when I lose a completely meaningless online game. Spassky literally applauded his opponent after losing a critical game in their world championship match.
