...overpowering rather than dazzling his opponents. Paradoxically, his celebrated killer instinct was the one trait that seemed to threaten his chances against Petrosian. Prematch speculation had it that Fischer, the only grand master who consistently prefers to risk defeat rather than settle for a tie game, might be a setup for the Petrosian ploy of forcing draws.
