WHY FISCHER FORFEITED HIS TITLE

One of Louie Blair's persistent gripes repeated ad nauseum
is that GM Evans didn't mention in Chess Life that FIDE finally
agreed to his unlimited match but there was a second meeting
where FIDE granted this demand but denied his 9-9 tie clause.
GM noted this fact at worldchessnetwork.com but that won't
stop the parser from regurgitating his drivel. No way. No how.

"Even if all his demands were met, would Fischer have played Karpov?
Nobody knows. When FIDE voted to restrict their tilt to 36 games, in
effect nullifying his open-ended match of ten wins with draws not
counting, Fischer vowed never again to play under FIDE jurisdiction.
This meant spurning a purse of $5 million offered by president Marcos
in the Philippines. FIDE relented and finally agreed to an unlimited
match, but this time around they balked at his 9-9 tie clause."

"Thus Fischer relinquished his crown and joined Howard Hughes and JD
Salinger in the great American void of absent legends.," noted THE
GUARDIAN.
