Classical Chess Stream 6
a bishop in the center is worth a queen
Recording of me playing a 30 + 30 game against Classical_Chess_only on LiChess. I sac my rook in an equal position under time pressure to win the game. Otherwise, it was a pretty bland game with almost nothing happening until the end.
The thumbnail is a photo of the tenth world chess champion Boris Spassky, who passed away a few months ago. I tweeted my thoughts on his sporting character, and a favourite interview of his.
for me, this world championship is unparalleled in its cultural impact on chess

and it wouldn't have been possible without spassky being as accommodating as he could to fischer's tantrums
as a tribute to the great man's life, I want to share my favourite Spassky interview pic.twitter.com/eEZfvMeZuL
