Ajedrez para Campeones

RIP Boris Vasilievich Spassky

One of the most talented players of his generation, the 10th World Champion Boris Spassky has passed away at the age of 88.

Spassky was considered a chess prodigy. He attained the Grandmaster title at the age of 18 and made his debut in the Candidates Tournament (Amsterdam, 1956) at 19.

After defeating Keres (1965), Geller (1965), and Tal (1965) in Candidates matches, he earned the right to challenge Petrosian but lost the title match (Moscow, 1966). Spassky made it all the way up again in the next cycle and won the crown in his second match against the ninth world champion.

Spassky played seven times for the Soviet Olympiad team (1962–1978). In 1976, Spassky immigrated to France; he competed for France in three more Olympiads (1984–1988).

"The players of the past were chess scholars, the players of today are artists. The old players created a school, they created the theory of chess that is now available to all. This is the reason why today's players know incomparably more than the old players," said Maróczy in 1940.
What would he say now❓
