9. The World Chess Championship 1972 was a match between
challenger X and defending champion Y. This has often
been dubbed as the match of the century. The matchup
was also highly political as it was played during the
cold war. The Soviet Chess School had a 24-year
monopoly on the world championship title with Y as the
latest. This matchup is still remembered to this day
because of the peculiar behavior of X, who had arrived
late for the first game, made a silly blunder, and did
not come for the 2nd game as a protest for keeping
cameras. X then went on to win the world championship
despite being down 2 points after the first 2 games.
