Boris Spassky breaks the Iron man

Hi Jerry.

Shows how good Spassky was!

I really like the way you explain this. Thanks. Sometimes I don't get it from the first time, but 3rd time usually helps.

At the end, instead of taking the knight with the h pawn, why not take it with the Queen? A queen for a rook and a right does not sound so bad.

Wonderful game

In 69, USSR Chess Federation supremacy was undeniable. Fischer, the flash in the pan neurotic American, got the first external cracks into that supremacy while Korchnoi was showing the internal cracks. In 75, Karpov got his first world title by forfeit. Inactive since 72, Fischer did not fight Karpov but FIDE. In 85, a non Russian, Kasparov threw the last blow at the USSR Chess Federation supremacy defeating the last soviet chess symbol, Karpov.

Only Spassky’s and Fisher’s attacks can break Petrosian’s “Iron” Prevention strategy.

I would have played that game quite differently. And I would have lost!

If only I knew when there are “only moves”

:)

At the end of your video you make everyone a little bit wiser. That's all I can say for the life of a chess player. It's a battle it's a struggle and there's nothing that anyone's giving, just one game that your trying to win. Loved the video. Keep up the excellent work.

This game is a thing of beauty. Superb Sicilian Najdorf play by Spassky.

poisonous tricky knights = )

Guys, does Jerry no longer post his own games? Do I need to watch the streams for those? Thanks

Loving this consistent content Jerry!

:( no stockfish analysis, i wanted to see where it went wrong

Spassky is so underrated wtf?

What a nice game 👌 enjoyed it

That was awesome. Thank you.

What a monster of a light square bishop!😮

Well... Yep!

Brillant analysis and commentary

great as always

I've actually had that exact line with an early b5?! And even h6?? Ne6! about three times in my own blitz games!

Wow thanks for sharing this sparkling attacking game from Spassky!

That was a great Match and in it Spassky showed why he was the King. I am sure when Fischer saw this game he was worried about how he was to defend against 1.e4 from Spassky. People say, even Spassky himself said that he was not an exact opening specialist. I think this game shows he was. Spassky preceded Magnus, Kasparov, and Fischer in playing firm, direct and forceful play leading to successful attacks in the Middle Game. Keep showing more of Spassky as there is much to be learned from him.

I am always a move behind, or ahead, depending on the way you look at it. 😅

Beautiful game! Thank you Jerry!

Thank you, Jerry!

Wonderful !

Not an easy man to beat Petrosian, this shows what a great attacker spassky was, thanks jerry.

Well presented.

Peak

Jerry legendo

brillant

That Knight on D4 is INSANELY GOOD!!! Great game choice as always. Thanks mate 😊

Brilliant attack by Spassky, I see now why Fischer was so psyched out by him.

The ending of this game kind of reminds me of that magic trick where they put someone in a box and stab swords through it at every angle.

Hi Jerry! I love your clearheaded and logical analysis. You make every move make sense.

Yeah, Boris Spassky Was no slouch. He was one of the few players that stood a chance against Fisher.

As always both your choice and analysis were awesome. Thank you

MOZART!!

gorgeous

Nice to watch both game and analysis.

Petrosian holding his head into the lion's mouth. His trainer Suetin recalls how they warned him not to play that line, but Petrosian wouldn't listen. Andy Soltis speculated the Champ was tired of reigning. Spassky in his element.

Great teaching skills.not a single empty word.

Your videos are excellent and have become part of my daily routine. Very nice content Jerry.

Rest in peace.
