Spassky is such a classy guy. He accepted Fischer's ridiculous demands and when he lost to him he just applauded.

It is a shame that Boris Spassky is mostly remembered for losing this match. He was a tremendous chess player who could be beat an opponent using many different styles of play.

Chess is an amazing game. After only 5 moves each, there are over 4 million possible hoodies GothamChess can choose to wear.

Patiently waiting for the video "how Gotham chess became a gm"

Levy’s videos have become a daily routine of mine.

IMO Spassky is why Bobby won the '72 WCT
Probably no other player would have endured Bobby's intolerable behavior
Don't get me wrong
BF was the better player
His achievements in chess are unparalleled
But had Boris not given in to his demands
The match would have never have been finished
And I doubt Fisher would ever have played again.
Lots of respect for Boris

Levy is a content machine! I hope he always gets enough sleep :-)

Many thanks for this great video analysis of games. In my research of Bobby Fischer games, he seems to be one of the most accurate world chess champions ever, especially when factoring in the complexity of positions. Many thanks for doing this Bobby Fischer video. I am a great fan of Fischer the chess player - not the person though. I feel Fischer ought to have been given help at the right time and it was a shame for the chess world he didn't play Karpov and extend his reign a little longer potentially. Cheers, K

I DID live through it! I was 21 in 1972 and it was as a result of the coverage that this match got that I got back into chess in a serious way, having learned the game when I was 12. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!!

Coincidence? I think mot

[Domancave]

Gotta give it to Boris. Without his drive to play chess and desire to play rather than win, we got this excellent world championship.
Bobby whinnied, and ultimately was the better player. But Boris showed what a competitor he was

He’s really Fisching for content now...

Imagine if after Fischer asked to play backstage, Spassky just said no

[alexanderdurig]

I was there ... following the games in the newspaper, that is, and playing them out with my cousins in Summer of 1972 - this is a very, very good video - I spent that summer in Cali, Colombia, and the whole world was, indeed, watching - it was everything people say it was !!
