    Petrosian and Fischer played a 4th match game in their Candidates' Final in Buenos Aires in 1971. The game reached an equal rook and pawn ending. Petrosian suggested the game be agreed drawn, as neither player had demonstrated an advantage and further play was unlikely to yield a result, as evidenced by Spassky and Petrosian's 3rd game two years prior that went 20 more moves without a decisive result.

    Petrosian – Fischer
    4 match-game, Candidates’ Final, Buenos Aires, 12th October 1971
    th

    1.c4 c5 2.Nf3
    More natural seems 2.Nc3, but after this continuation Black rapidly establishes control over d4
    and obtains a comfortable game. For example, after 2...g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 Nc6 the
    knight has to spend a tempo on withdrawal, or White has to reconcile himself to 6.e3, which does
    not promise him much. After the quieter continuation 2...g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 Nc6 5.Nf3 e6 6.0–0
    Nge7 followed by ...d7–d5 Black satisfactorily solves the problem of the opening.

    2...g6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.e4


    Seemingly, the occupation of the centre should secure White an advantage, but in recent times
    with the efforts of theoreticians, many reliable ways to neutralise this advantage have been found for
    Black.

    5...Nf6 6.Nc3 d6
    Fischer chose the same order of moves in the 2nd game of his match with Larsen.

    7.f3
    In this position Larsen played 7.Be2 and later there unexpectedly arose difficulties for White on
    account of the fact that the e4–pawn proved to be insufficiently defended. This was a consequence
    of the excessively sharp attack by Larsen, f2–f4–f5. Petrosian, however, likes to post the pieces
    more reliably and securely.

    All of this has already occurred many times in the practice of modern chessplayers. Seemingly,
    White has good prospects due to his predominance in the centre. However, Black has the
    possibility of creating counter-play of his own.

    11.Rc1 Be6 12.b3


    After 12.Nd5 Qxd2+ 13.Kxd2 Bxd5 14.cxd5 White has a definite advantage. But the latest
    studies of the theoreticians have shown that with 12...Qxa2! 13.Nxe7+ Kh8 14.Be2 Ng8! 15.Nxg8
    Kxg8 16.Bd4 Bxd4 17.Qxd4 Qa5+ 18.Kf2 Qe5! Black has everything in order.

    12...Rfc8 13.Be2 a6 14.Nd5


    It was considered that White obtains an advantage after 14.0–0. However, after 14...b5!
    15.Nb1! b4! he has nothing. The black knight transfers via d7 to c5 with a good game. In the
    case of 16.a3 Rab8 17.Qe1 Nd7 White does not have time to play 18.Bd2 on account of the check
    at b6. However, to move the king away - 18.Kh1 - is too late, since Black establishes the knight at
    c5 in good time, with an attack on b3.

    14...Qxd2+ 15.Kxd2
    Now the game forcibly transposes into a completely level ending.

    15...Nxd5 16.cxd5
    Possibly, a more interesting struggle would have arisen after 16.exd5, but then too one can hardly
    speak of any sort of advantage for White.

    On the suggestion of T. Petrosian - agreed drawn. In the 3rd game of the second
    Spassky-Petrosian match a further 20 moves were played, but without a decisive result. Neither
    player managed to demonstrate an advantage.
