However, Fischer lost the first game due to a blunder and forfeited the second over a dispute with the playing conditions. The match seemed headed for forfeit, but Spassky, unwilling to win under those circumstances, conceded. The third game was moved to a back room to accommodate Fischer's discomfort with the cameras, and he went on to defeat Spassky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis historic Fischer and Boris Spassky Chess set was produced by the legendary company Jaques of London, who also introduced the first \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.chessbazaar.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?cat=0\u0026amp;q=1849\" target=\"_self\"\u003eStaunton chess set\u003c\/a\u003e In the fall of 1849, we proudly present the exact reproduction of the chess set used in the iconic 1972 World Chess Championship match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky in Reykjavik, Iceland.
