How do you change the title of an article? I suggest "Chess legend Fischer released from detention in Japan". Fischer faced a 10 year prison term only if tried and convicted, which was by no means a sure thing even if he was returned to the US. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.202.80.51 (talk • contribs) 03:00, 24 March 2005 (UTC)

- The first match between Spassky and Fischer was held in 1972. A rematch was later held in Iceland, who view Fischer with great appreciation. -edw 17:33, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
