Spassky - unusual manoevre - 2006/09/04 22:10
I had almost forgeted what a great player Spassky was in his heyday. I tend to associate him entirely with Fischer. Like i said but he won Tim Krabbé's Most Amazing Move competitoin! Also he came up with the cleverly following knight manoevre in the Sicilain - utterly something that Lev Polugaesvky sayed he has seen niether before or since. It raelly is very clever!
In brief (1459171) Spassky,B - Polugaevsky,L [B96] URS-ch27 Leningrad RUS (1), 1960
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 b5 8.Bd3 Nbd7 9.f5 e5 10.Nc6
This is it... Others would usually agree white wants to control d5, so he sets up his knights in b4 & c3. Simple really. That is but Lev P says it's a bit too time-consuming.
10... Qb6 11.Nb4 Bb7 12.Qe2 Be7 13.0-0-0 Rc8 14.Bxf6 Nxf6 15.g4 Qa5 16.a3 Rxc3 17.bxc3 d5 18.exd5 0-0 19.Qxe5 Qxa3+ 20.Kb1 Bxb4 21.cxb4 Nxd5 22.Qb2 Nc3+ 23.Kc1 Na2+ 24.Kb1 Nc3+ 25.Kc1 1/2-1/2
An eventful morally draw.. ---------
Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto.
