Fischer-Spassky 1972 Match Table


One of the three (and only three!) original chess tables produced for the famous 'Rumble in Reykjavík' between these two iconic chess giants, is for sale.  So reports our friend, Einar S. Einarsson.  A photo-montage, from which the images below were taken, can be seen here.
 

Páll G. Jonsson, who met Fischer during the 1972 match and acted as his guide, bought two of the tables and now wants to sell one. Einar is handling the sale; you can contact him at gallery.skak@gmail.com.

The table was signed by both combatants:

This signature can be compared to another known signature of Bobby's, from much later in his lifetime:

Lastly, Einar forwards one final photograph of our departed champion:
