2. MID WAR: "Fischer defeats Spassky" Not sure how to play this card. Sounds like one that falls into the Kitchen Debates category. This event was more about American perseptions than anything else. Maybe along the same lines, but with opposite effect, was "Olga Korbut", who tended to win respect and sympathy from westerners on the competitive sports scene.
*Not questioning the brilliance of the game as is, just making a comment.
