When Boris Spassky said he'd take on twenty chess opponents at Hay Festival, i doubt he thought one of his opponents would be playing from 8'000 miles away!One of the lucky twenty was Ian McNab, a field technician with the British Antartic Survey based on the Rothera Research Station.The game between McNab and Spassky lasted a little over two hours and is believed to be the longest distance Live Chess match ever to be played.The game ended in a draw.
There are now several sites across the web with news of Spassky's games at Hay, includingicWales
BBC News
The Press Association
Thaindian news
The news sites above give a lot more detail of the matches played by Spassky, but sadly none show, as yet, details of his actual games/moves. [or the outcome of the other 19 games].
