https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1112936 What an endless creativity of Spassky ideas. Different every game. I thought Portisch was winning and I love to go over the positions at leisure but Spassky's checkmate will not be denied.

 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1050793 Puzzling moves Rg1, Qh5 Is the final position resignation a typo? Not at all. Rc1 is coming. Spassky's eye is always on the king.

 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1111542 Incredible how Spassky takes away all the squares from the rook while his rook is hanging and queens the pawn.

 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1128559 Spassky follows attacking principles by keeping iron control of f5 and c5 and then at the right moment 36.f6!

 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1128536 In an obscure position Spassky just runs his center pawn and tactics flow when the position opens up.
