MATCH OF THE CENTURY
Published July 11, 2011 | 
The first game was played on 11 July. Of the five games contested previously between the two players, the score was three wins for Spassky and two draws. At the appointed hour, match arbiter Lothar Schmid started the clock and Spassky played 1.d4, but Fischer was not in the Laugardalshoell Sports Exhibition Palace. Seven long minutes passed and then Fischer arrived. He shook Spassky’s hand and sat down to play. The ‘Match of the Century’ had finally begun.
