{Die 13. Partie im "Wettkampf des Jahrhunderts" 1972 im isländischen Reykjavik
zwischen Boris Spassky und Bobby Fischer ist mit ihren 74 Zügen sowohl die
längste als auch die dramatischste. Der Amerikaner führte im Match zu diesem
Zeitpunkt mit sieben zu fünf, doch der Weltmeister hatte durch den
überzeugenden Sieg in der 11. Begegnung psychologisch gerade etwas Aufwind
bekommen.  Nach unglücklicher Improvisation in der Eröffnung gerät Spassky
schnell in Nachteil. und verliert einen Bauern. Der Herausforderer setzt
jedoch ungenau fort, so daß sein Gegner Gegenchancen erhält. Schließlich
forciert Fischer den Übergang in ein kompliziertes Endspiel, das letztlich in
die interessante Konstellation Turm, Läufer und Bauern gegen Turm und fünf
Bauern mündet.} 1. e4 Nf6 {Die Aljechin-Verteidigung war sicherlich eine
Überraschung für den Weltmeister, allerdings hatte Fischer zwei Partien zuvor
mit seiner geliebten Bauernraubvariante im Najdorf eine böse Niederlage
erlitten.} 2. e5 Nd5 3. d4 d6 4. Nf3 g6 5. Bc4 Nb6 6. Bb3 Bg7 7. Nbd2 {Keine
sehr glückliche Idee. Normalerweise spielt der Anziehende an dieser Stelle 7.
a4, De2 oder 0-0.} O-O 8. h3 a5 9. a4 {Dieser Bauer wird sehr schwach werden.
Besser ist das zurückhaltende 9.c3.} dxe5 10. dxe5 Na6 11. O-O Nc5 12. Qe2 Qe8
{[%csl Rc5,Re8][%cal Re8a4,Rc5a4,Rb6a4] Siehe Anmerkung zum 9. weißen Zug.} 13.
Ne4 Nbxa4 14. Bxa4 Nxa4 15. Re1 {Weiß könnte den Bauern zwar mit 15. Dc4
zurückgewinnen, hätte aber nach beispielsweise 15...Ld7 16.Dxc7 Lc6 deutlich
weniger vom Spiel.} Nb6 16. Bd2 a4 17. Bg5 h6 18. Bh4 Bf5 {Genauer scheint 18..
.Ld7 mit der Drohung 19...Lb5 nebst 20... Sc4.} 19. g4 Be6 {Nach 19...Lxe4 20.
Dxe4 c6 gewinnt 21.Db4 den Bauern zurück, aber 19...Ld7 war immer noch
vorzuziehen.} 20. Nd4 $1 Bc4 21. Qd2 Qd7 22. Rad1 {Nun hat Weiß aufgrund
seiner guten Zentralisation und des Raumvorteils am Königsflügel einige
Gegenchancen.} Rfe8 23. f4 Bd5 24. Nc5 Qc8 25. Qc3 {Interessant war 25.e6!?,
um die folgende Konsolidierung zu verhindern.} e6 26. Kh2 Nd7 27. Nd3 {Spassky
möchte natürlich seinen Gegner nicht durch Springertausch entlasten; Beachtung
verdiente aber 27.Sb5, um gegen c7 zu drücken. Mit den folgenden drei Zügen
forciert Schwarz den Übergang in ein Endspiel mit Mehrbauern, das allerdings
alles andere als einfach zu gewinnen ist. Die Alternative bestand in dem
ruhigen 27...c6 nebst 28...b5.} c5 28. Nb5 Qc6 29. Nd6 Qxd6 30. exd6 Bxc3 31.
bxc3 {Damit hat der schwarze a-Bauer freie Fahrt.} f6 32. g5 $1 {Weiß muß
unbedingt die dunklen Felder im schwarzen Lager schwächen.} hxg5 33. fxg5 f5
34. Bg3 Kf7 35. Ne5+ Nxe5 36. Bxe5 {[%cal Rd6d8] Nun besitzt auch Weiß einen
gefährlichen Freibauern.} b5 37. Rf1 Rh8 {Gegen das Manöver Tf1-f4-h4 gerichet.
} 38. Bf6 a3 39. Rf4 a2 40. c4 {[%cal Rf6a1]} Bxc4 41. d7 Bd5 42. Kg3 $1 {
Droht 43. Th4.} Ra3+ 43. c3 ({Umgeht eine hübsche Falle:} 43. Kf2 Raxh3 44.
d8=Q Rxd8 45. Bxd8 e5 {, und der Turm ist inmitten des Brettes gefangen.})
43... Rha8 {Fischer spielt bedingungslos auf Gewinn. Schwarz läßt den Zug 44.
Th4 zu, wonach er, um ewiges Schach zu verhindern, mit e6-e5 seinen Läufer
hergeben muß. Bis zum 54. Zug verläuft das Geschehen nun praktisch forciert.}
44. Rh4 e5 45. Rh7+ Ke6 46. Re7+ Kd6 47. Rxe5 Rxc3+ 48. Kf2 Rc2+ 49. Ke1 Kxd7
50. Rexd5+ Kc6 51. Rd6+ Kb7 52. Rd7+ Ka6 53. R7d2 Rxd2 54. Kxd2 b4 {Damit
endet die mit dem 43. schwarzen Zug eingeleitete Abwicklung. Trotz seiner
Mehrfigur steht der Anziehende mit dem Rücken an der Wand. Verhält er sich
jetzt passiv, wird er von den drei verbundenen Bauern am Damenflügel langsam
aber sicher erdrückt. Spassky sucht daher seine einzige Gegenchance und
verschafft sich seinerseits einen Freibauern.} 55. h4 $1 Kb5 56. h5 c4 {
[%cal Rc4c3] Droht 37...c3+.} 57. Ra1 gxh5 {[%cal Rg5g8]} 58. g6 h4 59. g7 {
Auf 59. Lxh4 folgt Tg8 nebst 60...Txg6.} h3 60. Be7 {[%cal Re7f8]} Rg8 61. Bf8
{[%cal Rf8a3] Damit hat Weiß den gegnerischen Turm vollständig vom Geschehen
ausgeschlossen, doch müssen sich sein König und Turm einer Lawine von
mittlerweile fünf (!) schwarzen Freibauern erwehren. Normalerweise eine
hoffnungslose Aufgabe, hier aber beherrscht der Läufer die wichtige Diagonale
a3-f8, und dieser Umstand sollte einen schwarzen Sieg unmöglich machen.} h2 62.
Kc2 Kc6 {Der schwarze König muß seine Getreuen am Königsflügel unterstützen;
die drei Verbundenen am Damenflügel sind sowieso unantastbar.} 63. Rd1 b3+ 64.
Kc3 {Besser war 64.Kb2, um dem Turm das Verlassen der ersten Reihe zu
ermöglichen.} h1=Q $1 {Ohne dieses Opfer kann der schwarze König die d-Linie
nicht überschreiten.} 65. Rxh1 Kd5 66. Kb2 f4 67. Rd1+ Ke4 68. Rc1 Kd3 69. Rd1+
$2 ({In Zeitnot begeht Spassky den entscheidenden Fehler. Remis halten ließ
sich mit} 69. Rc3+ Kd4 70. Rf3 c3+ 71. Ka1 c2 72. Rxf4+ Kc3 73. Rf3+ Kd2 74.
Ba3 $1) 69... Ke2 70. Rc1 f3 71. Bc5 {Nun kommt das Eingreifen dieses Läufers
zu spät.} Rxg7 72. Rxc4 Rd7 73. Re4+ Kf1 74. Bd4 f2 {und Spassky gab auf. Es
droht einfach 74... Txd4 75. Txd4 Ke2. Weiß muß seinen Turm gegen den f-Bauern
geben, und wie Schwarz anschließend mit den Bauern a2+b3 gewinnt, dürfte ja
bekannt sein, nicht wahr?!  Diese bittere Niederlage nach heroischer
Verteidigung brach den Widerstand des Titelverteidigers endgültig. Bobby
Fischer führte nun mit drei Punkten Vorsprung, ließ in den Folgebegegnungen
nichts mehr anbrennen und wurde nach dem Sieg in der 21. Partie mit einem 12,5
: 8,5 Erfolg über Boris Spassky elfter Weltmeister der Schachgeschichte.} 0-1
