Boris Spassky
Yugoslavia 1992

This stamp commemorates the unoffical rematch, at Sveti Stefan and Beograd, with Bobby Fischer, 20 years after the World Championship. This was the last (public) match that Fischer ever played.

I used to have the matching stamp of Fischer but it has gone into hiding and refuses to let people see it!

A 1972 Iceland stamp issued for the world chess championship of that year. In this Bobby Fischer of the USA defeated Boris Spassky of the USSR in Reykjavik in what some chess aficionados regard as one of the greatest chess contests of the last few decades.
