He was one of the most active and longest reigning world champions, and he marked a generation as being a solid, but ferocious player, who’d beat you without you seeing it coming. We will be analyzing all of his classical tournament games, starting with his beginnings in Zlatoust in 1961. Thumbnail photo: Nederlands: Zesde Niemeyer Jeugdschaaktoernooi te Groningen.
