Second Piatigorsky Cup

If anything, the Second Piatigorsky Cup excelled the First in tension and excellence of play. Once again the competing grandmasters - including Fischer, Larsen, Petrosian and Spassky - contributed their comments to create a superlative tournament book. The race for first prize between Spassky and Fischer, the temporary eclipse of the reigning world champion Petrosian, and the classic clash of arms between Spassky and Fischer themselves, combined to elevate this to one of the supreme chess experiences of all time.
