| May-29-09 | | totololo: I think that this is THE GAME that FIscher had in mind in all the games in his match with Petrosian in 1971 . Most of his wins occured from a passed pawn d or h.
I think that he understood that Petrosian can defend very well his King ( see Kasparov learning the story) but had difficulty with tactical play related to passed pawns... |
|
| May-30-09 | | AnalyzeThis: Well, Fischer certainly had this game in mind in his preparations for his match against Spassky, also. He took the black pieces there and improved upon Petrosian's play: Spassky vs Fischer, 1972 |

| Jun-01-09 | | totololo: < AnalyzeThis> Yes you a right TY I forgot that game.... |

| Jul-25-09 | | WhiteRook48: not like a champion |
|
| Apr-13-12 | | whiteshark: <30.Nc6> and Spassky took the lead. |
|
| Apr-23-12 | | Robyn Hode: Too much central dominance. |
|
| May-14-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Cool game by the soon-to-become WC Spassky here!

| Jan-15-13 | | leka: I believe the mistake was 15. exd5?? better might be 15..knight a5 16.dxe6 queend2 17.exf7 or after 26..b4 27.g3! or 27.rook e8 knight c6 28.knight b3 queen c4!!!! Korchnoi tought that the mistake was 16...knight a5? Korchnoi 16..queen e7 then 17. h4! or 17.Queen f4!? |

|
| Apr-16-15 | | m.okun: Atypically for Petrosian. |
|
| Mar-07-16 | | capafischer1: spassky's best games are a thing of beauty. He just pushes his passed pawn down the board while petrosian gobbles the useless b pawn. Then, he coordinates his pieceses beautifully and wins in style by sacrificing his queen. |
|
| Mar-07-16 | | morfishine: Positively Exquisite |
|
| Apr-27-16 | | Howard: Kasparov does point out in MGP that Spassky almost botched the win at one point, but Petrosian failed to see his chance to draw the game. Once those two moments passed, Spassky didn't make any more mistakes after that. |

 | | kingscrusher: 26.Re8 seems like an interesting potential improvement over 26.Nd4 where black maybe should have played Qd6

 | | Teyss: Great game and pun indeed, good job <BxChess>. White's e-Pawn was sort of forgotten on e4 for 13 moves before it came back to life and became the star of the game. This was a key game of the match when Spassky took the lead. I once met someone who was living in Paris and frequently playing in Jardin du Luxembourg, an informal gathering place for Chess fans. He said he played Spassky once who was sometimes seen there in the 1990s. He got crushed of course. Don't know if he actually played him or only saw him, but I like to think the former. RIP Boris, we'll remember you as a great player and a gentleman. We'll try to forget your 1992 match against Fischer and your latest political views. |
