Rehashed Soviet Anti-American Invective to Turn Public Interest and National Support Base Away From Fischer's Defeat of USSR
Fails to elaborate on the finicky, overbearing demands and complaints of European organizers who refused for months to sort out details before match. Belgrade's illegal demand of 35K USD “guarantee” refused by USCF! Australia's legal $225K bid snubbed by Russia, threatening they “would not play”. USSR selecting Anti-American, Racist Iceland who restricted entry of blacks and news coverage ([says Archie Waters: “Then, the camera panned the huge crowd for reactions and, for one heart-stopping moment — my daughter exclaimed — it settled on the only African-American in the auditorium, or anywhere near the auditorium — me. I was applauding. I had been on Fischer's management team for three vacation weeks in an Iceland city, with its one-story, pastel-colored roofs and mostly blond, blue-eyed residents.” —Archie Waters, El Paso Times El Paso, Texas Sunday, August 22, 1993.])([says Fischer, “…they had these characters there, who instead of having, some kind of video tape film that didn't make any noise, just, nobody around to operate them, just sort of stationless and they just had guys there with film cameras that were worrying, and they were all around me. Making a racket. A nuisance. Too much noise, and visually you could see them moving around…I was more disappointed than anybody that this thing wasn't televised because, you know, there was a lot of publicity and a lot of money involved and I wanted the people to see me in action. - Robert J. Fischer on Johnny Carson, November 1972]) Schemes to disqualify Fischer and replace with Petrosian, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera on the Fascist Nixon sending a prize gift of an exquisite chess board to Soviet officials, prior to the match, further reports of meetings between Nixon, Kissinger and Soviet officials relaxing with dinners and entertainment, in private, to sort out “trade deals” and plotting further war on Asia, and alas, to appease the Soviet officials the antisemitic Nixon never sent an official White House dinner invitation to Robert J. Fischer. Much like Jesse Owens, Gold Medal Olympian, was snubbed by the racist U.S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who likewise, was consorting with Stalin, making “trade deals” to purchase Ukrainian grain, while an estimated 7-14 million Ukrainians were starved in Stalin's man-made famine, the “Holodomor,” during his term as president.

The illustration portrays Spassky as 'frustrated'... when asked in 1985, Spassky confirms it was NOT FISCHER who sapped his concentration, rather “the job was done by Moscow”. Behind the headlines!
