  Benzol: Well there was this one Spassky vs G Lane, 1979 and Spassky was also in trouble in this one Spassky vs A Ornstein, 1974
Jan-07-10  M.D. Wilson: He sure had some great results with it.

  Benzol: Yes indeed! The Leningrad variation of the Nimzoindian was another opening the Spassky had some great success with too.

  Mateo: After 25.Qxe5, it looks like a game of Fischer where White has a good Bishop vs Knight. But after 29.Bxf7, it looks like a game of Petrosian.

  woldsmandriffield: 26 h3 was a quiet but clever play transferring the move to Black. She didn’t like 26..Ne6 which might have been ok, 26..Qc8 and 32,,Na8 look horrid.
Jul-08-20  carpovius: Spassky's famous lost in KG Spassky vs P Motwani, 1987
