Did Bobby Fischer ever return to competitive chess after 1972?

Bobby Fischer retired from competitive chess after refusing to defend his title in 1975 due to disputes with World Chess Federation about match conditions. However, he made a brief return to the spotlight in 1992 when he played a match against Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia, which violated U.S. sanctions and led to legal issues with the United States government.
