Chess 101

The chess game has stormed the U.S. if the American Bobby Fisher Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union in Union 2l game to take the world championship. Even though I was only twelve years old at the time, I was glued to the TV in my house that summer just appeared, in Reykjavik, Iceland instead.
