It is with profound sadness that the European Chess Union announces the passing of Boris Spassky, the 10th World Chess Champion and one of the greatest players in chess history.
A legend who shaped modern chess, Spassky's elegant style and sporting spirit made him one of the most respected figures in our community. His historic World Championship match against Bobby Fischer in 1972 transcended chess, capturing the world's imagination.
Today, we not only mourn a champion but celebrate a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of chess players.
Rest in peace, dear Boris. Your moves will be studied and your games will be played for generations to come. ♟️
