Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whakamahere a Fischer ki te takaro mo te US i te
1968 Lugano Olympiad, engari i hoki whakamuri i a ia e kite ana i nga ahuatanga takaro kino. Ko te toa o mua o te Ao a Tigran Petrosian me te Kaiwhakaako o te Ao o Belgian-American a George Koltanowski, te kaiarahi o te roopu Amerika i taua tau, i whakaaro he tika a Fischer ki te kore e uru atu ki te Olympiad. E ai ki a Lombardy, ko te kore whai waahi a Fischer na te kore o Reshevsky ki te tuku i te poari tuatahi.
