During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed in almost every arena: space, sports, and of course the military.  Everything they competed in was designed to show the superiority of their respective systems. 

In 1972, one of the greatest cold war rivalries came to a head in Reykjavík, Iceland. 

It didn’t take place at a sporting event or on a battlefield. Rather, it took place over a period of two months on a chessboard.

Learn more about the 1972 World Chess Championship, aka the “Match of the Century”, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
