(ar) indicates the player’s arrival.
(s) indicates a sealed move.

Although Fischer was 25 minutes late for the second session, he still had 45 extra minutes to use at the second time control on move 56.

Fischer took 38 minutes for his 61st move, which was the longest of the match for him.  And he had spent 21 minutes on the previous move that allowed his Rook to be imprisoned.  He had played the first 18 moves of the adjournment quite rapidly, until Spassky’s 60. Be7.

The four-hour playing session had not been exhausted, since Spassky took 32 minutes for his sealed move in the first session, making that session 5 hours 24 minutes long.

After he resigned, Spassky immediately analyzed the last few moves at the board, seeing that at move 69, he would have drawn with Rc3 instead of Rd1. He said something to Lothar Schmidt, but he was busy with the official paperwork. Fischer had already left.

This was one amazing game to watch. I could not believe it when Fischer’s Rook was incarcerated on g8 by Spassky’s Bishop and Pawn.

(ar) indicates the arrival of the player.

At the close of the game, people were applauding Spassky for his game, but he gestured in a way that he wished the applause to be reduced.

As we were about to leave the hall, a young chess prodigy, staring at the final position on the projection screen, exclamed, “That was sick!”, probably thinking of the loss of the Queen and the number of moves made afterward before resigning.  The friend I was with laughed, and observed, “Everyone’s a critic!”

This was Bobby’s first and only loss with the Poison Pawn variation of the Najdorf. One time, I reviewed Fischer’s adventures with the Sicilian Defense by looking at his chronological results. His point percentage against 6. Bg5 e6 7.f4 jumped up sharply when he switched to 7. … Qb6, starting with his game against Parma at Bled, 1961.

(Fischer sealed his move at this point and his clock was then advanced 20 minutes by the arbiter to complete the 5 hour playing session.)

(The arbiter started the second session on time the next day, opening the sealed envelope, playing Fischer’s sealed 41st move on the board, and starting Spassky’s clock.
Neither player was present.  Fischer arrived first, 8 minutes late.  Spassky was 13 minutes late.
The next time control was 3:30 at move 56.)

(ar) indicates the player’s arrival at the board.

I have no note that Spassky was late to the first session, so it seems that Spassky hesitated 5 minutes when playing his first move.  Fischer hadn’t played 1. e4 since game 4.

Spassky spent 15 minutes on the position after Fischer’s 41st move.  That is, 5 minutes making his 42nd move, and 10 more minutes making his 44th when the same position occurred again.  Perhaps he was surprised at Fischer’s 41st move.
