Boris Spassky, the World Chess Chess Chess ChessK is cheap about his Bobby Fischer ‘for a year of age’ in 1972, died on Thursday in Moscow. He was 88.

His death was announced by the International Chess Federation, the Governing Body, Unless the Cause. Mr SPassky was hit by a large stroke for 2010 who left him in a wheelchair for all his life.

Arkady Dvorkovich, President Federation, said in a statement: “He was not one of the best Soviet and earthly players, but also a man of truth. His chess contributions will never be forgotten.”

Mr Skassky had accomplished as a player, but the politics of the game and Mr Fischer, in the height of a cold war, and the media’s attention focused, turned both into broad drama pawns.

Mr SPassky was not happy with all attention. In the 2023 conversation of the Appeal World Chase in Houis Est. His son, his son, Boris Jr., was always thinking of as a chess player, because gestostrate, never said. I’m sure you heard pressure. “

It was a game reconciliation of the year after 20 years later, when the two men were re-put in and pulled worldwide interest, even though both players passed.

When they play the first game, Reykjavik, Iceland, Mr. Fischer, and his generous personality, was the Western Western Western man. He is exposed to a single liver a bold that takes the Soviet Chess Machine machine, and Skassky representative of the Soviet regime.

The truth may not be from the truth. Mr. Fischer was a 29-year-old child, who is often unclean and difficult. Mr Skassky, 35, was Rane, was returned and fade, and blamed Mr. Fischer leading to the ride of this game.

The game was probably not happening. It had to start on July 2, but Mr Fischer was still in New York, demanding a lot of money for both players. British facilitator, James Slater, added $ 125,000 in the awards fund, which contradicted $ 250,000 (about $ 1.9 million today), and Mr 1. 1.9 Mr Fischer arrived on July 4.

The game was the best 24, with each counting including one point, each draws like a horful point and each loss as zero. The first player 12.5 may be winner.

In the game 1, on July 11, Mr Fischer was drawn and lost. Then, refused to play a game 2 unless television cameras recording the game turned off. When they were not, Mr Fischer rejected the game.

The game seemed to doubt, but compromise was used to remove the game and the play and place of playing after a large hall.

Mr Fischer Won Game 3, his first victory occurred against Mr.

Myland Spassky’s Sportsmanhip was completely shown in the game 6 of the game, at the time that was posted back to the main auditorium. When Mr Fischer won the game, he picks up the first time in the game, Mr SPassky joined viewers in representing and camping.

After losing a game, Mr SPassky has received a tip of his refund in the Soviet Union. He returned to win the Soviet competition in 1973 and arrived at the suitable World Championships in 1974, losing the Anatoly Karpov, the world’s first champion.

Still, things were different. For two years, he was banned from walking abroad, blood-free Scheduli’s Chess Union player, and his financial support was cut. Found a way out.

In 1975, he met Marina Storechercheff, secretary in the French Embassy in Moscow, which became his third wife. They moved to France, and he became a French citizen in 1978.

In 2012, with a surprise, Mr. Spassky was rushed to France later in Russia, where he had stored his will in a French hospital and managed to leave only with the help of friends. He lived in Moscow all his life.

Pressure that Mr. Spassky felt protected by the Soviet hegemony on the chess were large. Years later, the 1972 match was reported: “I was happy to lose a tournament. My years as her hero were the worst of my life.”

Boris Vasiliphich Spassky was born in Leningrad (later St. Petersburg) Ngajan. 30, 1937. He was the second child of Russian parents; Later her parents separated, and their father left the family.

He grew up for the poorest, and at the age of 5, while Leningrad’s siege, he was temporarily placed in the orphanage. There was, according to his son, that he learned to play chess.

He started to read the chess sincerely in 1947 when he joined the pioneer monarch, a government-funded club building the skills for children, and his talent was immediately taken. At the age of 11, he was receiving the money paid, which became a family source.

In 1955, he won a smaller valor and placed a third of the Soviet priority, and he became grandmother in 18, a younger woman. That record was attacked three years later when Mr Fischer became spine in 15.

Since 1951 to 1961, Mr SPassky was trained by Alexander Kazimirovich Tolush, a well-known king of the attack, and had some success. But he grew up with his consequences and changed to Igor Zakharovich Bondarererevsky, a systematic way. Mr S sparsky’s game began to improve, and started his climb from the National Assembly.

At his height as a player, from the beginning of the 1960s to the outset ’70s, Mr SPassky won playing in any way we wanted. When the opportunities presented, they can be cruelly, such as his good work against David Bronstin in 1960, a game used as a chess campaign in 1963 James Bond “from Russia for love.” He could also, with great patience, at odds at no means, as he did in his 21 victory in World Championships like Tigran Peter Petrosian in 1966.

Mr SPassky lost the game against Mr Petrosian, but you were eligible for the title of the world and in 1969, and this time he hit him. After his loss to Mr Karpov in 1974, Mr SPassky qualified three more heroic cycles but was demolished each time.

He was always a higher mid-1980s player, but his results began to slip and play without his food, often solving a speedy drawn. Many watching said he was lazy.

In 1992, Mr SPassky lived on the marines of the Chess. Then a bank owner in Belgrade, where Mr Fischer lived, supplying $ 5 million to receive a return game with Mr Fischer. The situation is that the game will be played in Serbia and Montenegro, which was the former Yugoslavia, under the war against Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The game broke punishments, but Mr Skassky zealously admitted to play. “You take me out of the extinction,” she said with Mr Fiscer. “You can make me fight. It’s a miracle and thank you.”

The game received all over the world and kept 30 games, but the result was not like 20 years ago: Mr Fischer won, dragged, 5.

The games are different, however, in two ways: The gaming was very poor, and tension between the two players left. Mr SPassky and Mr Fischer, they were mixed together for being in the middle of much more time, we were older friends, laughing, and talking before and after the sport.

In addition to his son, Mr Sparsky survivors put three lion. His whole marriages ended in divorce.

Mr Mr Sparsky’s warm feelings were true, as shown in 2004, when Mr Fischer was arrested in Japan for not a valid passport and threatened in the United States to deal with cases of violation of yugoslavia.

Before Mr Fischer finally was released and sent to Iceland, Mr SPassky sent a letter to President George W. Bush, asking Clemen.

He wrote: “Bobby and I have made the same case.” Put it clean again. I caught me. You put me in the same cell with the bobby fischer. And give us a set of chess. “
