In our survey of weapons of chess destruction we have now reached the glory days of chess.  I was fortunate to be growing up during the period of the great superstars of chess that  I believe has remained unrivaled in the history of the game.  In this installment we see three examples, one from each of the great world champions of the 1960.  Of course, these champions produced hundreds of exciting and instructive games, but these fit in with our theme of following the opening principles, and then going out and clobbering the opponents.

    Wow! The Spassky win over Bronstein was fantastic. The King's Gambit! I think that was in a James Bond movie or something.

    And to think that even well-known grandmasters made such blunders...we always learn something from lost games! Well done,Eric!

    In Spassky-Bronstein, in your Big Book of Chess, you said that the g-pawn move 23...g6 was refuted by 24.Rf7+, winning the queen (if Qxf7 Bxf7 and not the blunder Nxf7).
