Communications, Chicago Lines: 8 It is interesting to note that this no-limit, draws not counting system, is something like the one advocated by Fischer. Fischer, however, wanted 10 wins (with a 9-9 tie clause). Since this match was canceled by the FIDE, and I suspect they will never again adopt such a system, I guess we will never see Fischer as world champion again. D.F. Webster
