Description: Boris Spassky versus Bobby Fischer, Reykjavik, 1972. The pressure on these two players at that time is hard to comprehend. The eyes and ears of the spies of the world were watching! So to be able to still play incredible moves is testament to the brilliance of both Spassky and Fischer, but on this occasion Fischer’s Bxa4 was the winner.

Description: A bold black background showcases an orange stylized crown above white text. The text reads 'THE WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH ICELAND'. Below this is smaller Icelandic text, followed by 'SPASSKY vs. FISCHER' and their respective country codes 'U.S.S.R.' and 'U.S.A.'.

Description: Henry Bird versus Paul Morphy, London, 1858. Morphy’s visionary rook sacrifice against Bird opens up the third rank allowing the queen to slide across the board with the intention of itself being sacrificed on a3. Sacrificing both queen and rook to win the game is pure class.
