Remembering Bent Larsen
09.25.10 We are saddened to report the passing of Danish chess legend Bent Larsen on September 9th, 2010 at the age of 75. During the 1960s and '70s GM Larsen was a multiple interzonal champion in the world championship cycle and, excepting Bobby Fischer, was the player most feared by the Soviet Union.
