Smyslov passes away

ChessBase.com - Chess News - World Champion Vasily Smyslov dies at 89

Sad news. One of the all-time greats. A quote from the ChessBase page.

"Smyslov was always known for his positional style and his extraordinary
endgame
abilities. He was also a great combinational player, and in his games
we find
many spectacular tactical shots. In the opening he made important
contributions
to the English, Grünfeld, Ruy Lopez and Sicilian."
