Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-12-13  ewan14: Has someone already commented on the fact that Kasparov did not include at least one game from this match in O.M.G.P. ?

Surely this was the zenith of Spassky's universality in the Candidate's matches ?

Jul-12-13  RookFile: Personally I think his match against Geller is more amazing, but there is no questioning that during this period Spassky showed a universal style and could rightly claim he was the best player in the world.
Dec-07-17  edubueno: Primera partida del match en Kiev. Antes habían jugado por lo menos 18 partidas en 20 años, con un score 9,5 a 8,5 en favor de Korchnoi. Ésta partida es el primer Ruy López entre ambos. Da la impresión de partida pareja.

  woldsmandriffield: Drawn by repetition since 24 Qxb8 Qxb8 25 c4 risks too much.
Dec-14-19  edubueno: El Plan 18. Be3 Ra8 19. Qd2 Rfc8 20. Bd3 fue usado por Karpov contra Unzicker en Niza 1974, en cuyo caso las blancas mantienen una pequeña ventaja
