Boris Spassky is one of the greatest chess players in the history of the
game. He was the World Champion for three years, after winning the title
by beating Tigran Petrosian. His name is forever linked with his great
rival Bobby Fischer and their epic 1972 'Match of the Century', which
did so much to popularize the game throughout the world. Over the board,
Spassky is renowned for his universal style, as he was equally skilled
in all phases on the game. In Spassky's best games his pieces seemed to
combine together in perfect harmony, and he produced a number of
memorable masterpieces. In this book, Grandmaster Zenón Franco examines
in detail Spassky's chess style, selects and studies his favourite
Spassky games, and demonstrates how we can all improve our chess by
learning from Spassky's play.
