re:Ruy Lopez: Schliemann Defence - 2006/10/26 02:15
Here is a game between Spasskly and Kholmov in that artificially opening. Would you have us believe that the reason Spassky didn't win, is that he never studied the Schliemann variatrion of the Ruy Lopez?

I am inclined to think that he HAD studied it, since there is a 1957 game in which he happily draws with it vs. Presently tal, and another 1957 game (vs. Lehmann) which Spassky won:

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere.
