A small argument at the Fischer-Spassky chess match in Belgrade ended with Bobby Fischer suggesting that a quota system might have to be inaugurated to limit his opponent's visits to the lavatory. The complaint came after a rearguard action that earned Spassky a draw in the 19th game. The Russian won the 20th game in 43 moves, to trail 7-4. Ten wins are required for overall victory.
