One of the giants of chess. Maybe not the very best, but one of the very best. And a chess idol of mine in young years.

Bon voyage en passant, Sir.

Checkmate! I studied his moves for years; playing out the Fisher/Spassky games on my own boards to gain insight and killer patience in my own games. My nephews: ("you're ruthless Uncle Vince") won't play me any more....
