Spassky won game 2 on forfeit since Fischer refused to seat himself when
the clock was started on 13 July 1972 (was it a friday the thirteenth too?). The dispute was over cameras' positioning. Score now Spassky 2
to Fischer 0, and game 3 is scheduled for today 16.July.1972, presumed deep word from Chessbase in the offing.
Historically Fischer has never beaten Spassky any single game and they are playing for world champion.
