"Match of the century" in Reykjavik

4/21/2014 2:54:15 AM

The Icelandic National Museum had a temporary exhibition in 2012 for the 40th anniversary together with the Icelandic Chess Federation to commemorate the event where they showed (among others) the original tournament board, table and chairs.

After that, they moved the artifacts to the newly opened Bobby Fisher Center in Selfoss, where he is also buried. So if you go there you can also visit Bobby Fischers grave, just as Kasparov did this year.

Beware that center is about 60km away from Reykjavik and opens only 2 hours per day, is closed in Winter, but you can get in by appointment.
