What the devil possessed me to reply 1. . . . e5?? I compltely forgot that Spassky, like Spielmann in the past, very much likes to play the King's Gambit.
I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.
Spassky will not be psyched out by Fischer
Americans really don't know much about chess. But I think when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater interest in chess. Americans like winners.
