Apr-07-07		Grega: Fischer never played king's indian vs. Spassky (prior 1992 exhibition match). He probably feared Spassky's mastery of Samich variation. Boris's results with KID suggests this and this game is one of many examples of his versatility.

Apr-07-07		M.D. Wilson: Spassky's KID games are among the most instructive.

Apr-07-07		Atking: <M.D. Wilson: Spassky's KID games are among the most instructive.> yes indeed I like it too. There is more than one similarity between this World Champion and the actual. A very flexible approach. A mystery for me: Why Boris Spassky didn't use the closed line against Fischer in their first World championship ? He handles this line as well as the Saemisch against KID

Apr-07-07		talisman: one of spassky's 2 victories over stein.stein was one of the few players with the flare of tal or a bronstein.
