What the devil possessed me to reply 1. ... e5?? I compltely forgot that Spassky, like Spielmann in the past, very much likes to play the King's Gambit.

Some pieces in the King's Indian appear on a 'special price' list: the dark square bishops are at the top of that list.

To lose one's objective attitude to a position, nearly always means ruining your game.

It is no secret that any talented player must in his soul be an artist, and what could be dearer to his heart and soul than the victory of the subtle forces of reason over crude material strength! Probably everyone has his own reason for liking the King`s Gambit, but my love for it can be seen in precisely those terms.

The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is.

Independence of thought is a most valuable quality in a chess-player, both at the board and when preparing for a game.

When everything on the board is clear it can be so difficult to conceal your thoughts from your opponent.
