Amsterdam IBM 1970. In the penultimate, 14th, round (played 30th July), 2nd-placed Boris Spassky faces the leader, Lev Polugaevsky. The game was drawn; the two Soviet grandmasters ultimately shared 1st place.

rare 1920 footage with the 8-year-old Samuel Reshevsky in simultaneous play, a beautiful piece of history.

🔵 About Garry Kasparon
🔘 Garry Kasparov
🔹 Russian chess grandmaster
🔹 Former world chess champion
📚 Garry Kimovich Kasparov is a Russian chess grandmaster, former world chess champion, writer, and political activist, whom many consider to be the greatest chess player of all time. From 1986 until his retirement in 2005, Kasparov was ranked world No. 1 for 225 out of 228 months.
🔰 Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, in the Soviet Union in 1963, Garry Kasparov became the under-18 chess champion of the USSR at the age of 12 and the world under-20 champion at 17. He came to international fame at the age of 22 as the youngest world chess champion in history in 1985. He defended his title five times, including a legendary series of matches against arch-rival Anatoly Karpov. Kasparov broke Bobby Fischer’s rating record in 1990 and his own peak rating record remained unbroken until 2013. His famous matches against the IBM super-computer Deep Blue in 1996-97 were key to bringing artificial intelligence, and chess, into the mainstream.
The US-based Kasparov Chess Foundation non-profit promotes the teaching of chess in education systems around the world. Its program already in use in schools across the United States, KCF also has centers in Brussels, Johannesburg, Singapore, and Mexico City. Garry and his wife Daria travel frequently to promote the proven benefits of chess in education and have toured Africa extensively.
