Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The 1992 Fischer–Spassky match between former world chess champions Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky was billed as a World Chess Championship, though it was an unofficial rematch of their 1972 World Championship match. Fischer won 10–5, with 15 draws.
The match was played in late 1992 in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which was under UN sports sanctions because of the breakup of Yugoslavia. The United States issued a warrant for Fischer's arrest, and he never returned to his home country.
Although there was substantial media coverage, and some drama, public interest in the historic Fischer–Spassky rematch was not nearly as great as with the 1972 World Championship match in Reykjavík, Iceland.
