'Full of the most wonderfully ingenious tactical solutions, which will live forever in the minds of lovers of chess.'Grandmaster Raymond KeeneBoris Spassky is rightly regarded as one of the greatest players of the 20th century. During the 1960s he was considered to be the complete all-round player, with an outstanding tactical flair. This was a key element in his spectacular progress from child prodigy to World Champion, defeating Petrosian in 1969. Spassky's classic match against Bobby Fischer in 1972 still ranks as one of the truly great sporting contests, capturing the imagination of the public and promoting a world-wide tidal wave of popular interest in chess.
This book follows the trail of Spassky's career from youthful genius through to World Championship contender and title holder, right up to the Fischer match. Over a hundred annotated games are included, displaying the full range of Spassky's abilities. The many crushing victories over top opposition demonstrate his right to be considered the Master of Tactics.
