Maybe Boris should have listened to Gellers move Qb2 and game 6 may have drawn and who knows from there. All supposition but Geller had Bobby’s measure purely on games played
So at move 14. Qb2 , Geller had the answer in game 6 and may have averted the psychological effects that game had on Boris from game7 onwards.
Geller had an overall plus score against four world champions: Mikhail Botvinnik +4−1=7, Vasily Smyslov +11−8=37, Tigran Petrosian +5−3=32, Bobby Fischer +5−3=2.[3] In total, Geller played ten and beat eight world chess champions, and his overall record in games in classical chess against world champions is positive: +39−36=131 (Max Euwe +1−1, Mikhail Botvinnik +4−1=7, Vassily Smyslov +11−8=37, Mikhail Tal +6−6=23, Tigran Petrosian +5−3=32, Boris Spassky +6−10=22, Bobby Fischer +5−3=2, Anatoly Karpov +1−2=5, Garry Kasparov +0−1=2, Viswanathan Anand +0−1=1). Geller did rather badly against Korchnoi (+6−11=16) and Polugaevsky (+4−11=21).
His record was not positive though against Boris Spassky .
Crazy as it may sound, Spassky is still around and could tell us. Let's hope he sees this and answers!
