Petrosian as the loser of the last championship match and Korchnoi as runner-up of the previous Candidates final were seeded directly into the Candidates match stage, and were joined by the top six from the Interzonal. In the Petrosian–Hübner quarterfinal in Seville, Hübner withdrew from the match after a loss in the 7th game due to noise complaints.&lt;sup id=&quot;cite_ref-ChessGames_Seville_Candidates_Quarterfinal_1971_47-0&quot; class=&quot;reference&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_1972#cite_note-ChessGames_Seville_Candidates_Quarterfinal_1971-47&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;[47]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;

<p>Petrosian as the loser of the last championship match and Korchnoi as runner-up of the previous Candidates final were seeded directly into the Candidates match stage, and were joined by the top six from the Interzonal. In the Petrosian–Hübner quarterfinal in Seville, Hübner withdrew from the match after a loss in the 7th game due to noise complaints.<sup id="cite_ref-ChessGames_Seville_Candidates_Quarterfinal_1971_47-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Chess_Championship_1972#cite_note-ChessGames_Seville_Candidates_Quarterfinal_1971-47" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank">[47]</a></sup></p>

Bij 1. e4 e5 was het altijd Spaans dus Lb5. Maar in het Siciliaans speelde Fischer vaak Lc4. Hij dacht zelf dat ie met die zet tegen god remise kon maken :-). Met zwart had ie volgens hem geen kans.]]></description>

Ja, 6,5. Dan had die match dus over twaalf partijen moeten gaan, terwijl de voorgaande matches (6-0) over tien partijen moesten gaan.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Prachtig artikel, vooral de Fischer challenge is bijzonder. Maar ook die andere studies zijn werkelijk prachtig.
Overigens was het interzone toernooi in Palma de Mallorca waarvoor Benko was geplaatst, maar zijn plek afstond aan Fischer, niet in 1971 maar in 1970. In 1971 werden de matches van het kandidatentoernooi gespeeld. En in de finale won Fischer van Petrosjan met 6,5-2,5 en niet met 5,5-2,5.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[De grap van Benko was eigenlijk dat hij later tegen Fischer zei dat hij het antwoord niet zou kunnen vinden omdat hij in de 1.e4 e5 openingen vrijwel altijd Lb5 (Spaans) speelde en vrijwel nooit Lc4. Overigens heb ik een fraaie partij van Fischer met het Evansgambiet in mijn collectie zitten.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Het staat me bij (maar waar heb ik dat in godsnaam nou gelezen...?) dat de &#039;Fischer-challenge&#039; ook zo genoemd werd (door wie?) omdat Fischer indertijd furore maakte met 6 Lc4 tegen de Najdorf. In dat geval is elke verbetering van het oorspronkelijke probleem (witte stukken in de beginstelling) eigenlijk een verslechtering. Dan liever een dual.]]></description>
