Fischer v Spassky

Bobby Fischer for the U.S.
Boris Spassky for U.S.S.R.
A Cold War battlefield of chess,
1972 - grand spar.
In Reykjavik, Iceland - the match
Of the century did take place.
The mind game strategies did hatch,
As West and East came face to face.
Fischer did win and did inspire
The image of a hero lone
Conquering the evil empire -
Just a game a bit overblown.

Chess had never known such suspense,
And chess has never known such since.
