		Hort, playing Black, had about four minutes left on the clock to reach move 40 and his hand hovered over his queen, wanting to play the winning move 35...Qg4.
		However Hort's brain refused to let his hand make the move and the many spectators were forced to watch the excruciating spectacle of Hort allowing his clock to tick to zero, losing the game on time.
		Despite heroic efforts in the final game of the match, Hort could only draw, allowing Spassky to progress to the semi-finals and leaving an enormous psychological scar on Hort, who never again reached the finals of the World Championship.

	Anatoly Karpov - Vlastimil Hort
		Ο Hort αντιλαμβάνεται ότι έχει χάσει τη στρατηγική μάχη του ανοίγματος, γι’ αυτό επιχειρεί να περιπλέξει την κατάσταση, μήπως έτσι αποπροσανατολίσει το νεαρό αντίπαλό του.
		Αν πάλι ο Hort θεωρούσε την κατάληψη του τετραγώνου ζ6 επιζήμια για τις προοπτικές του Αξιωματικού του, μια άλλη λύση ήταν 20...Βε7, προετοιμάζοντας πάλι...0–0–0.
