Until the tenth game, the match had been uneventful 'off the board'. Then, starting with game 10, Spassky began playing from his relaxation box, using a large demonstration board to analyze his moves. He appeared at the board only to make his move, then returned to his box for further analysis.
Korchnoi protested Spassky's unusual playing method, but was obviously unnerved, as he lost games 11 through 13. In game 14, Korchnoi used the same tactic, but he lost that game as well. He later apologized for his behavior.
In game 14, Spassky started to wear a silver sun visor. He increased the psychological pressure by appearing for the 17th game with visor, sunglasses, and aquatic goggles. He lost the game.
