Jun-29-08		HSS: A point that was made about this game was that here was a case where a former world champion (Spassky) had a virtually lost position after just 15 moves without making any obvious mistakes.

Nov-19-11		AnalyzeThis: I think he should have played 8.... Bxf3.

Nov-19-11		King Death: <HSS> and <AnalyzeThis> The place where Black could have improved was with 12...Bc5. I agree that was he was in big trouble after giving up the two bishops and a backward pawn in the game itself.
