WI Spassky beats Fischer

What if Spassky beat Fischer in the world chess championship of 1972? I'm not big into chess but I know the battle also carried the cold war tagline along with it, so would it have had any political implications?

I'd say it would be major news the communist sphere and the chess lovers in the West. Can't see it having any major political impliucations though. Maybe Fisher goes slightly less insane in this ATL?
