He reviews two incredible wins, one over a former world champion and the other over Viktor Kortchnoi, then he wraps it up with a fun tale of Spassky and Stein's late night adventures. Enjoy! | Watch video

• Greatest Chess Minds: Akiba Rubinstein - Part 3

  • by GM Dejan Bojkov
  • | Aug 21, 2012

  The Tarrasch Defense was "down and out" for a very long time at the highest levels of chess (until Spassky, and much later Kasparov, gave it new life) and that was in large part because of the approach developed by Dr. Rubinstein! GM Bojkov reviews a critical win by Rubinstein in today's video, highlighting the principles of playing against Hanging Pawns and white's subtle maneuvers therein. | Watch video

  • by GM Melikset Khachiyan
  • | Jul 28, 2012

  When one of the greatest chess players of all time offers you a draw in a roughly unclear position, you take it right? Not GM Melik Khachiyan! Today he kicks off a new video series by reviewing not necessarily his best, but definitely his most memorable games -- each of which will have a story to go with it! See how Melik achieved a clear advantage against the former World Champ, but eventually fell just short of ultimate glory. | Watch video

• Greatest Chess Minds: Boris Spassky - Part 2

  • by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
  • | Nov 10, 2011

  In Part 2 of his Spassky coverage, Roman elaborates upon Spassky's contribution to the opening stage, his willingness to play "dubious" positions that offered exciting play, and his overall strength as a creative chess genius. In this impressive victory with the black pieces, Spassky takes down Larsen in his own backyard -- punishing the Reti like nobody's business! | Watch video

• Greatest Chess Minds: Boris Spassky - Part 1

  • by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
  • | Nov 2, 2011

  What separates Boris Spassky from the other World Champions may surprise you. As GM Dzindzichashvili tells in today's story, Spassky's outgoing personality and "need to be liked" made him one of the most enjoyable chess personalities of all time. His lazy work ethic may not have helped in match play, but his over the board creativity and energy are what made him a legend. Enjoy this exciting win in the King's Gambit! | Watch video
