Spassky’s universal playing style was also reflected in the initial phase of the game. “He liked classical openings, but could also play less-popular variations, where the assessment of the position can change with every move”, mentions GM Dorian Rogozenco. Germany’s former national trainer also points out that although openings were not considered to be Spassky’s main strength, his experience, together with the versatility of his playing style, usually helped Spassky throughout his long and successful career, to make the most unpleasant opening choices for his opponents. Rogozenco presents Spassky’s opening preferences in 7 videos. Two of them are dedicated to Spassky’s beloved Spanish Game, in which the tenth World Champion was a renowned specialist with both colours.
