Jan-30-06		Chess Classics: <chessgames.com> Obviously, this game was played when Spassky was still a Russian. Why is he marked as French? All of his great successes came as a Frenchman, after all. Regards, CC

Jan-31-06		szunzein: Nice game. And Chess Classic, you are right, Spassky's greatest successes came as a Frenchman; he never before played the way he does now; his tennis skills are amazing

Jan-31-06		Chess Classics: <szunzein> I meant to say, "Greatest successes came as a Russian" of course. Regards, CC

Feb-01-06		szunzein: I knew, I was joking. Best wishes

Feb-05-06		Chess Classics: <szunzein> Oops, sorry. And by the way, a chessical friend of mine says that he once was at a tournement in Europe and he kept hearing these tiny taps of the ball on the court (Bip! Bap!) He pondered to himself that it was either Boris Spassky or a little girl. (Turns out it was Boris Spassky.) Regards, CC

Mar-28-06		szunzein: Thank you for the anecdote, Best wishes, Zonszein

Dec-25-06		M.D. Wilson: I love Spassky's "castle-on-the-other-side-of-the-board" games.
