About this book

This book focuses on Boris Spassky, the Russian grandmaster and 1969 world champion. It presents his career through a biographical sketch and a carefully chosen set of games, giving readers a clear view of one of chess history’s most respected figures.

Spassky’s name is closely associated with the famous 1972 match against Bobby Fischer, but this volume looks beyond that single event. It offers a broader picture of his chess and the achievements that made him a world champion.

What’s inside

The core of the book is the selection of fifty games, annotated by Alexey Bezgodov. These notes help the reader follow Spassky’s decisions at the board and study his play in a practical, game-by-game format.

The collection is completed by a biographical sketch from Dmitry Aleynikov. Together, the two parts make the book a strong choice for readers who want to study classical chess, collect important chess literature, or simply read about a great champion.
