Jul-27-06		Honza Cervenka: If Spassky got an initiative, he was terrifying opponent.

Aug-25-10		GrahamClayton: Spassky could have won quicker with 24.ad1+, eg: 24....d5 25.g5 bh8 26.d5+ ed5 27.e7+, or 24....c8 25.g7 f4 26.f8+ b7 27.b1+ a8 28.b8+ b8 29.h6 This game also shows that sometimes doubled pawns are a strength rather than a weakness. Spassky uses the doubled c-pawns (15.c4 & 23.c4) to break open Black's central pawn structure.

Sep-07-11		LIFE Master AJ: Nice game by Spassky ... this was a "Game Of The Month" ... back when GM S. Gligoric used to do a regular column in "Chess Life and Review."
