  perfidious: The first meeting between these players would also prove to be clearly the longest game of their 24 encounters, as short draws would predominate, with only one decisive result.
Aug-30-22  Granny O Doul: This game was played a couple of months before Game 6 of Petrosian-Fischer.
Aug-30-22  Olavi: <Granny O Doul: This game was played a couple of months before Game 6 of Petrosian-Fischer.>

But after Fischer-Mecking, where Fischer himself allowed 3...f6; and Lisitsin vs Botvinnik, 1944

Nov-13-24  ColdSong: Andersson typically trying to play against a somewhat bad bishop.Of course against Spassky it's absolutely difficult.
