Hello, a) perhaps I should add some specific info to that "Spassky and antisemitism" - thread I ignited around July 29. 2004 : in "New in Chess Magazine 5/2004" ther is an interview with former World Chess Champion Boris Spassky (p. 30 - 35) . Some excerpts :

From rec.games.chess; September 15, 1992 From Alexander Abian ): Is it the case that there soon will be a Fischer-Kasparov match ?

Semi-Final (Round 1 29th July) Anand - Leko ½ Kramnik - Svidler ½

OK so the provocative subject line got you reading. What I mean is I've read in a few places that Bobby Fischer didn't have a particular style - he just played the strongest move.
