Happiness is Overrated

10th World Chess Champion Boris Vasilievich Spassky (pictured above), on the eve of his 80th birthday, gave a very personal interview to Elena Milchanovska for Moskovskij Komsomolets, in which he recalled his younger days and speaked with open heart about his daily “perimeter” defence against illness. Just a lifetime “frenemy” – Robert James “Bobby” Fischer – and only one regret: “The title of World Chess Champion didn’t bring me any happiness”. Photo: Elena Milchanovska.
