BCC 4SS LEGENDS OF CHESS: GM BENT LARSEN

Grandmaster Bent Larsen (1935-2010): his style was his own, imaginative, challenging. He was 6 times Danish Champion and candidate for the World Chess Championship on 4 occasions. He had won games against Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky and Fischer. Indeed, his chess is inspiring. Going over Larsen's games gives us motivation to try our own unique style, offer up our own outrageous attack, break out of the ordinary, the standard play. Chess is a serious sport, yet it should also be fun and creatively satisfying. So, taking the example of Larsen, come to the BCC "Legends of Chess" 4SS this Saturday, January 19th, and try out your own challenging moves; bring your imagination, cunning, wit and of course, endgame technique.  This is your chance to produce a brilliant game.
