The Match of the Century - USSR vs the World

50th Anniversary Edition

From the publishers who brought you Chess Informant and ECO comes the 50th Anniversary Edition of the most amazing team match ever held. Twenty of the world's best players competed; with the current and four former world champions and another who would win the crown two years later.

Spassky, Petrosian, Korchnoi, Smyslov, Tal, Geller, and Botvinnik were some of the players on the USSR team versus Larsen, Fischer, Portisch, Reshevsky, Najdorf, Gligoric, and Matulovic. If you have not seen Spassky's famous game against Larsen from round two, this alone is worth the price of admission! Available here.
