#about_Larsen

🔸 Bent Larsen
🔸 Danish Author
🔸 Chess Grandmaster

🔰 Jorgen Bent Larsen was a Danish chess grandmaster and author. Known for his imaginative and unorthodox style of play, he was the first Western player to pose a serious challenge to the Soviet Union's dominance in chess.

🔘 Full name: Jørgen Bent Larsen
🔘 Country: Denmark
🔘 Born: 4 March 1935
🔺 Tilsted near Thisted, Denmark
🔘 Died: 9 September 2010 (aged 75)
🔺 Buenos Aires, Argentina
🔘 Title: Grandmaster (1956)
🔘 Peak rating: 2660 (January 1971)

🔰 Jørgen Bent Larsen at age 19 became an International Master, and two years later he achieved the grandmaster title. Larsen was Danish Champion on six occasions and won the Interzonal three times. After the Amsterdam Interzonal (1964) he advanced to the semifinals of the Candidates, where he lost to Mikhail Tal. He again won the Sousse Interzonal (1967), and made the Candidates' semifinals before losing to Boris Spassky, who went on to win the World Championship the next year.

🔰 For his tournament achievements during 1967, including first-place finishes in Havana (1967), Winnipeg (1967), Sousse Interzonal (1967) and Palma de Mallorca (1967), Larsen became the recipient of the inaugural Chess Oscar award. Other tournament victories were Monte Carlo (1968) and Palma de Mallorca (1969). When the USSR vs. Rest of the World (1970) tournament took place, he played top board for the World, scoring 1.5-1.5 against World Champion Spassky.
