Televised chess in the early days: the Deutschland Cup 1989
Let us take a little journey through time. It was 1989 when the supermarket chain ‚SPAR‘ organised a magnificent chess tournament in the Sartory halls in Cologne. Robert Hübner, Boris Spassky, Mikhail Tal, Viktor Korchnoi and the Polgar sisters were invited as the big stars. Television was still in its infancy, but it was already broadcasting moving images. | Photo: Sartory-Säle (via satory.de)
