A Vexing Draw

Submitted by benws on Sun, 06/14/2009 at 1:19pm.

The 1966 World Championship Match was between Petrosian and Spassky. After 11 games, Petrosian was up two points and landed fantastic combination in the 12th-but alas, he could not finish it. This draw enabled Spassky to eventually level the scores, but in the end, Petrosian was victorious 12.5-11.5.
