In 1970, the U.S.S.R. and the Rest of the World played an epic chess match narrowly won by the U.S.S.R. by the score of 20.5-19.5. On first board, Boris Spassky won this stunning victory over Bent Larsen in round two, defeating the great Dane in only 17 spectacular moves.
Lessons:
* Hypermodern openings demand precision; you must get counterplay against the center. 3.c4?!
* “A passed pawn is a criminal which should be kept under lock and key.” – Aron Nimzowitsch
