Happy 85th Birthday to Boris Spassky! 🎂 World champion, gentleman, and overall inspiration. He was full of wise words when I met him as a 10-year-old in Ireland. And no...that wasn't my beer.

It was easy for me to remember the date: the first game of our double match held in Budapest (1993) was on 31st January. Almost on his birthday. So, happy birthday to the oldest world champion of chess, the great storyteller Boris Spassky! 😉🥂
