Invitation letter for a simultaneous game against Boris Spassky.

Spassky played against 25 opponents.

Concentrating hard.

I played a French defence of course! Very solid.

Obviously I make him sweat! You offer me a draw? Are you serious?Grand Master Spassky to me???

Yes I was a 16-year-old unrated player and he was rated 2590.

And yes I drew against him!!! :-))

My trophy and score sheet. I finished 21st out of 400.

I played Bent Larsen during the 1990 World Championship Karpov vs Kasparov at Lyons. He played against 50 players at once! He beat them all! and I was the last player to play against him alone one on one! I was 21 years old.

I lost this game but I should have drawn it before I made a stupid mistake in the endgame king+pawn vs king I played 2 hours with him and I was the last player out of 50 to play. He played the last 15 moves very quickly in one on one vs me. He was sitting in front of me. This is an unforgetable souvenir.
