In modern times, Bobby Fischer won 20 consecutive games, all in competitions at late stages of the world championship cycle. (Some commentators give this as 19, electing not to count Fischer's game against Oscar Panno, who resigned after Fischer's first move as a protest). Fischer won his last seven games at the 1970 Palma de Mallorca Interzonal (including the one-move game against Panno), then swept Mark Taimanov 6–0 in the quarterfinals followed by Bent Larsen by the same score in the semifinals. In the Candidates Match final, Fischer beat former World Champion Tigran Petrosian in the first game before Petrosian snapped the streak by winning the second match game.
That streak finally ended in the second game, when Pettrosian defeated Fischer and, apparently, put an end to, reports and speculation that Were going wildly around the chess world and were even beginning to spill over to the rest of the world: that there was some strange hypnotic power about Fischer; that there was mystic force that seemed to erode his opponents’ intellectual powers and even weaken them physically.
