Spassky was no woodpusher. Larsen was one of the most creative thinkers in his day. But Fischer cleaned their clocks.

@furrer08 of course I'm not a grandmaster, and niether are the people that I play against, I find that this opening is so rare and unexpected that many people simply don't know how to properly respond to it.... but I agree, with 1.b3 you have to fight hard to not be overrun in the center, it has happened to me quite a number of times playing this opening......

[victav]

@Peterh588 man you are lucky to have an autographed copy... I just started reading up on him because I read about Larsen's b3 opening in a book recently and i've started playing it a lot. I just found out he passed away in september... the same thing happened to me with George Carlin, I didn't become familiar with his comedic genius until right after he died in 2008.

i love larsen's play, and i'm addicted to b3 openings, but f4 here was just really sketchy. i don't think that would have worked even in blitz and really he needed to get his pieces coordinated.

my pants were peed

@Majnu2006 so do I!! send more...

[Commonsense11111]

thank you for posting this. Spassky was a phenomenal champion. Fischer said that spassky was the best opponent he ever played. unfortunately sapssky is too often remembered for having lost his title to fischer, and not enough attention is paid to how he because world champion in the first place.

spassky power.... when larsen saw the 2 queens i think that was enough for him

[butnotthroughglass]

rare to get such clear cut commentry, respect for that.. Larsen is my favourite player, and I love his opening, but after about move 5 in this game it was clearly curtains agains an opponent like Spassky
