[@PowerPlayChess]

Do join me tonight for a Hangout at 19.00 (UK)! I'll be going through that famous Fischer-Petrosian four queens game - as requested. Do join me for chat, puzzles and analysis. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2HUm31or7ilodE

Oh, I'm not gonna make it :(

[@guitrgunslingr]

I really enjoy your content and analysis. Thank you!

[@LiceoVillaFontana1]

Thanks. I have been a Spassky fan all my life. Great game

[@Nimzomyth68]

Thanks for covering a Spassky game. He seems to be largely neglected.

[@HunterBelkiran]

That bishop on b2 was an absolute terror as soon as the position opened and for the rest of the game. Interesting how Spassky leveraged mate threats with the queen, bishop, and knight to gain a tempo or positional advantage with his other pieces. Great game!

[@tharkanzox1493]

Great vid as always. Spassky, Smyzlov and Korchnoi are sometimes overlooked in spite of their many absolutely top level games.

[@مرتضىالدراجي-خ2غ]

what a hardworking queen

[@zogzog1063]

Lovely presentation, thank you!

[@kenspencer9895]

I don't recall seeing this game before -- thanks for analyzing it!

[@harryseldon9315]

it's always a pleasure to see your videos

[@lemoncake7565]

Thanks. Nice game. I watch all your videos :)))

[@tamboresdomundo8156]

Great video as usual, thanks!!

[@matchesmalone3145]

amazing video, very clear !

[@matchesmalone3145]

this is sort of like a gelfand game, where you shift from positional play to turning on the initiative, pretty cool

[@rossgeller422]

what a game

[@jprw]

Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer -- The Rolling Stones and The Beatles of chess!

[@PowerPlayChess]

:) But which was which?

[@jprw]

Spassky = The Stones (slightly more creative and hedonistic); Fischer = The Beatles (pure perfection)

[@PowerPlayChess]

I would say the Beatles were far more creative than the Stones...

[@alieskandari6036]

Thank you Daniel. After his famous match vs Fischer, Spassky turned out to be the most famous looser in history. But as you said, he was such a power. Kasparov could not beat him earlier than 1987 and he managed to draw with Garry 2-2. Tal aslo praised his chess knowledge. Please cover more brilliant games of spassky

[@PowerPlayChess]

More Spassky games coming soon!

[@matchesmalone3145]

pressure is awesome too

[@zecaurubu86]

Eu amo você.

[@yorick021]

How Spassky plays the opening/beginning middle game a bit like Karpov it seems, very sensible chess without many risks..then out of nowhere he finds a Kasparov-like attack and from that point his only gear seems to be forwards towards the kill. I feel that Spassky is one of the world champions that is not appreciated as much as he deserves. Maybe because he lived in the era of possibly the greatest player ever.

[@commonone7551]

Nice pedagogics as far as I am concerned

[@amritmenda4303]

Instead of ra6 it should have been nf4 7-52
