Boris Spassky is one of the greatest chess players in the history of the game. He was the World Champion for three years, after winning the title by beating Tigran Petrosian. His name is forever linked with his great rival Bobby Fischer and their epic 1972 'Match of the Century', which did so much to popularize the game throughout the world. Over the board, Spassky is renowned for his universal style, as he was equally skilled in all phases on the game. In Spassky's best games his pieces seemed to combine together in perfect harmony, and he produced a number of memorable masterpieces. In this book, Grandmaster Zenon Franco examines in detail Spassky's chess style, selects and studies his favourite Spassky games, and demonstrates how we can all improve our chess by learning from Spassky's play.Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of knowledge.Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn.This is an excellent way to improve your chess skills and knowledge.

Reviews for Spassky: Move by Move

Zenon Franco's massive 464 page work, featuring over 60 of Spassky's best efforts, is arranged by theme ... rather than chronologically. Although there is one game from the 1992 match with Fischer the author wisely draws from Spassky's most fertile period (late 1950s to 1970s) when he was at the peak of his powers and showing the wide range of skills that make him one of the most versatile of the world champions. Again the move by move format is used to engage the reader. Franco's book serves as an excellent introduction to one of the most popular of world champions. We can only hope for a miracle that Spassky, in very poor health, can still find the energy to do his own book of best games. Until then this is the book on Boris. -- John Donaldson, International master, International Master www.JeremySilman.com
