Boris Spassky is a true chess legend, a World Champion who, thanks to his monumental battles with Bobby Fischer, raised the popularity of the game to a level that had never been seen before.

Although at the height of his powers many saw Spassky as a complete and universal player, adept at outplaying his opponents in any type of position, it is no secret that from an early age he thrived on sharp, attacking play. He was a superb practical player, and with the initiative at his hands he could conjure up wonderful combinations and deadly attacks.

In Boris Spassky Master of Initiative, Alexander Raetsky and Maxim Chetverik look back overSpassky’s long and distinguished career to examine how he defeated hislong-time adversaries, carefully highlighting his most colourful and celebrated encounters over the chessboard. A deep study of his style and games will entertain and inspire any true chess fan.

  • Includes Boris Spassky’s most brilliant sacrificial games
  • Ideal for the attack-minded chess player
  • Perfect for sharpening your tactical ability

    • PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT a book containing a (large) number of deeply analysed Spassky games. Instead it contains 150 puzzles presented as game- fragments from Spassky games, and 150 puzzles presented within a lightly annotated though complete game. It's a training book above all.
