Spassky: “I still look at chess with the eyes of a child

The tenth World Chess Champion introduced himself at the start of a recent in-depth interview: “I’m Spassky Boris Vasilievich, a pensioner. I’m in the endgame of my life.” It’s been quite a life, though, and the 77-year-old clearly retains much of his old sparkle. He was in great form as he talked about topics that included the Carlsen-Anand match, what chess means to him and his encounters with Bobby Fischer.
