 Match of the Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spassky played badly in the endgame and the game was adjourned with a big advantage for Fischer.
Spassky continued in the passive style that he had employed in game 1 and which indeed had characterized his play ever since he ascended the chess throne.
Spassky resigned the game by telephone, which Fischer made a big fuss about, but finally was convinced that the rules allowed it.

 Boris Spassky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spassky continued to play, winning several championships including the 1973 Soviet championship.
He relied on his natural talent for the game, and sometimes would rather play a game of tennis than work hard at the board.
In the next two years, his playing success again gained the right to challenge Petrosian.

 Boris Spassky - ChessOutpost Champion #1
Had Boris simply not allowed game 3 to be played on Fischer's terms, and simply requested the game be played under the rules agreed upon, I doubt another game would have ever been played.
Fischer arguing over money, playing conditions, not showing up for the drawing for colors....all these were a great insult to the game of chess itself, and to one of its greatest gentleman, Boris Spassky.
He put up with a lot of undignified behavior by Fischer, which culminated in him allowing Game 3 to be played in a private room when he had no moral or legal obligation to do so.

 Robert James Fischer vs Boris Spassky (1972)
It is possible that Spassky had a tendency to overestimate the importance of a strong pawn centre, but the positional weakness that develops in the game seems very glaring - Boleslavsky is said to have called it 'positional capitulation'.
2) it was Spassky, not Fischer, who chose to take the game into the Tartakower variation.
Both Geller and Spassky played this variation quite a bit.

 Boris Spassky vs Robert James Fischer (1992)
Perhaps Spassky did play the better method of winning.
So, Fischer's attempt with 47...Nd8 to pull off a swindle might have been as good as any to try and salvage a draw out of this game.
I was wondering though could White strenthen his position first by positioning his white squared bishop on d3 and then go with the king via f3?

 The chess games of Boris Spassky
In 1955 he won the World Junior Chess Championship and became a grandmaster, and in 1956 tied for first place as Soviet champion, becoming the youngest player ever to qualify for the Candidates round.
: No, Spassky was better, when he wanted to be.
And give me one player, in his prime, at his best, and feeling great, it would be Spassky (as long as he wasn't playing Karpov ;-)

"Spassky's next move is move is both memorable and spectacular."

 Bobby Fischer
When he overwhelmed Spassky in 1972, he became the only American world titlist and, according to a consensus of contemporary grandmasters, the strongest chess player in history.
From then until 1992, Fischer did not play a single game of chess in public.
In the Interzonal and Candidates' matches in 1970 and 1971 he won an unprecedented 20 straight games to qualify to challenge Boris

 GrandMaster Square >>> Interview with GM Spassky
Nowadays he rarely plays chess, but naturally he keeps a keen interest in the game.
Maybe some new interesting players will emerge too - like Grischuk and Ponomariov.
Boris Vassilievich, my first question is very general: obviously chess of the 50s, 60s and the 70s is rather different to the modern chess.

 Cold War chess battles
Spassky noted a persistent inability to concentrate during games.
Off the chess production line rolled millions of chess players, the cream separated off into a stratum of domestic celebrities rewarded with state stipends much greater than the average wage (Spassky’s remuneration at his peak put him on a par with a government minister).
His prodigious memory, which gave him total recall of hundreds of games, allowed him to play like a computer with nerveless precision and speed, panicking his opponents into error and despair.

The rematch was played in Yugoslavia, and Fischer received around $3.5 million in prize money – a purse which puthim in defiance of a US presidential order banning any American citizen from profiting from visits to that country.
Spassky, supported by the might of the Soviet chess machine, was far more gentlemanly, and dramatically led the applause for his victorious opponent.

Since his arrest in Japan big part of the chess community all over the world have risen to his defense and asked for his pardon.
Fischer broke those laws by playing against former rival Boris Spassky in a rematch that took place in Yugoslavia in December 1992.

As Soviet Premier Tigran Petrosian was looking for his replacement, there was much argument between the two most popular candidates, Spassky and the relatively young Anatoly Karpov.
Spassky was mentally ill for the final 5 years of his life, which many believe was the reason he named Anatoly Karpov his successor, as they were sworn enemies before this.
In 1964, Spassky was reported to have peacefully passed into history.
