I was home when the Fisher/Spasky championship was played. It was broadcast live in PBS with several grand masters explaining what was going on. You could feel the anguish in Boris Spasky as Bobby Fisher just destroyed him mentally in each game.

In one game he made a weird opening move that took Spasky something like 10 minutes to reply to. Before Spasky even made his first move he was in time trouble.

Wow, though I also watched that championship on PBS it is quite difficult for me to recall much. Seems like 3 life times ago. When I saw Rondec & Hattifnatt's post Fisher and Sparsky instantly came to mind. Bobby was exciting to watch but he certainly was a strange fella. Not too long ago, maybe a year or so I saw an article on Bobby where he showed up out of nowhere as usual. Good to see some folks here have the interest.
Best Regards, Bob

Chess Championship?

Looks Drawish to Me...

Both shot with the FA 135 and every one of my son's Chess games against each other does end a draw...

Rondec that is amazing. Many years ago when my brothers & I played it was rare to end a draw. My brothers typically won...of course we are talking IQ's in the 150's & 160's for them, plus they were older & bigger. But..

..I always beat them in tennis.

Thank you! The western Highlands and Skye are amazing places, if the weather was a bit more guaranteed it wouldn't be the same. And yes, it would be great to have more time at these places to do all the compositions. I've been past Eilean Donan castle quite a few times, but this is the first time the weather and time of day really delivered!

Here's the 70-200 in action in Lancashire (the first one) and Skye:
