Unbelievably, the score is repeated against Bent Larsen in the Denver semi-final. Former World Champion Tigran Petrosian makes a fight of it in the final, held in Buenos Aires and appears to be containing Fischer for the first half of the match, but then loses four games in a row to suffer a demoralising 2½-6½ defeat.
