‘Beautiful Alexandra in prison with me’; What if Chess Ali is not with Magnus? – Candidates Tournament | Chess

In chess The Bobby Fisher-Boris Spasky World Championships, known as the ‘Fight of the Century’, took place in 1972 in Reykjavik, Iceland. The world saw the rift between the two in 1992, 20 years later. The clashes between the two countries in what was then a UN-occupied Yugoslavia became known as the “Battle of the Century”. But the United States has issued an arrest warrant for its own citizen, Fisher. The warrant was issued for going to the competition in defiance of US sanctions on Yugoslavia. Opponent Spassky, however, said he would support Fisher’s imprisonment. Fisher’s response to his old opponent’s promise was, “No need for Spassky with me in prison, beautiful world champion Alexandra Costanouk.” Reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen fired another shot a few months ago.
