      Fischer was a 19 year old prodigy in 1962, and he had the only perfect score 11-0 in the US Championships in 1964. He was already close to peak strength, despite not playing for the world title for another 10 years.

      Certainly another world championship match, would be his third, will remove debate as to who was the best never to win a WCC match if he ever gets another chance?

    Korchnoi lost the Candidates final to Karpov in 1974. Karpov was declared World Champion in 1975 and Korchnoi, realising that all Soviet resources were now committed to Karpov, decided to defect in 1976. I really don't think a game from 1962 had any bearing on his decision.
