https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1220564 A closed position and Spassky plays the trademark Nf5 to create a lock in the position and then engineers a breakthough through f5. An Immortal Spassky endgame.

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1405704 Spassky was a great entertainer. He played for the crowd and knew so many ways to take the initiative and keep the initiative. Look at this game.
