TIME Magazine, 31 JULY 1972
The World Chess Championship of 1972 between challenger Bobby Fischer (1943–2008) of the United States and defending champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union (1937–) has been dubbed the Match of the Century. It was held in Iceland.
The first game was played on July 11, 1972. The last game (the 21st) began on August 31, was adjourned after 40 moves, and Spassky resigned the next day without resuming play.

The year 2022 marks the 125th anniversary of one of the most influential chess publications in American history, The American Chess Magazine. It was short-lived, being established in June 1897 and folding up by the end of 1899. Nevertheless, it made an impact. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle wrote that “it credits upon its compilers,” while at the time the British Chess Magazine called it “the best value for money ever seen".
