Spassky and Larsen annotate their famous 'mutual handiwork': Spassky's 17 move brilliancy

The following explanations are taken from this book: Petrosian, T. and Matanovic, A. The Match of the Century USSR vs. World. 50th Anniversary Edition. Edited and Revised by Douglas Griffin and Igor Zveglic. Sahovski Informator. 2020.

Some notes about the visualisation: I just visualised the line that actually was played. No alternative lines are visualised here as doing so might have interrupted the annotations and as a result the annotations would have been mixed. Also, whenever a position is diagrammed in the book, I highlighted that move in the interactive board.

The following is taken from the same book and this text trails the annotation of the two:

In the commentary to the game I have made use of an idea of grandmaster D. Bronstein and indicated the time spent in thought over each move. It seems to me that chronometry often makes it clear, over what the chess player was thinking; what were his doubts and hesitations. In a word, chess fans obtain the possibility to penetrate, to some extent, into the internal secrets of the laboratory of the chess master.
[Larsen/Spassky]

Boris Spassky and Bent Larsen finish analysis of their 14th-round encounter at the Hoogovens tournament at Beverwijk, 28th January 1967.

Welcome to my blog. My blog is dedicated to chess history. I will find informations which can hardly be found on the internet and then share them on the internet so that they be found easily.
