Apr-30-07    Inf: wow, 2 great old chess player, or shoud i say titans ( in their time ) playing against each other?? how many games for this?? oh and i have never been.. 1st to post wOOt! Apr-30-07    Timex: There were 6 games. In the 4th game, Spassky overlooks a piece with Nd3?? and Portisch simply captures the knight with Rxd3. In the 1st game, Spassky sacs a pawn to acheive a won position. May-01-07    mynameisrandy: I take it this was rapid? May-01-07    Knight13: I really wished Spassky won this. May-02-07    karnak64: Aside from game 4, what a delight it is to see these two old lions have at each other! May-03-07    Chess Classics: It's matches like these that make me yearn for the "golden days" of chess, which I wasn't alive for and didn't really even exist. But still, I agree with <Inf>... Regards, CC May-03-07    ahmadov: I wonder who has organized this match. Strangely enough, chessbase.com has not reported on it yet... May-03-07    ahmadov: Oops, sorry, I have just found it http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... May-03-07    ganstaman: Well don't I feel stupid. I thought they were both dead. Time to look at some games played by ghosts. May-03-07    Chess Classics: <ganstaman> Well, Spassky had a small heart attack about 2 months ago, but appears to be in fine form. Portisch, I had no idea if he was alive or not. Regards, CC
