The 7th official World Chess Champion Vasily Smyslov died yesterday at the age of 89. The photograph above was taken at a simultaneous exhibition given by Smyslov in the Great Hall at Queen's University Belfast on Wednesday 15th January 1969.
So sad to hear of the passing of a Chess great.I remember going to see that simultaneous event in Queens,and of the large attendance to see a former World champion in person.
