I am sad to hear about the passing of the Pushkin of #Chess, Boris Spassky. He inspired me when I was an aspiring player and later as a sportsperson.
How memorable is his letter to George W. Bush after Bobby Fischer was arrested in Tokyo:
“Bobby and I committed the same crime. Put sanctions against me also. Arrest me. And put me in the same cell with Bobby Fischer. And give us a chess set.”

ABC Hobart Radio is going to talk to me this afternoon about 2.30pm. They are looking for interesting people around the state and apparently a chess teacher with a background in circus fits the bill.

Reality TV chess program in the UK. Will it help to popularise the game?
First, I can't stand Reality TV.
Second, I don't play and study chess because I want to be popular. I like disappearing into my own little world.
