Tigran Petrosian successfully defended his title against Boris Spassky, winning the match with a final score of 12.5 - 11.5 after 22 games. The match was planned for 24 games, but Petrosian secured victory before all games were played. Petrosian's victory was notable as he was the first world champion in 32 years to win a title defense. Spassky, who was considered the favorite going into the match, qualified by defeating other strong players like Keres, Geller, and Tal in the Candidates matches. The match was characterized by contrasting styles: Petrosian's strong defensive technique against Spassky's more aggressive and versatile play. The tenth game of the match is particularly renowned for its strategic ideas and tactical finish. Condition: Edge wear, damp staining to front wrapper else about very good. Signed by Author(s).
