Master Class Vol.20 - Bent Larsen Bent Larsen (1935–2010) was the greatest chess player in Danish history, and for a time, the second-strongest player in the Western world behind Bobby Fischer. Between 1954 and 1971, he won the Danish Championship six times, and achieved numerous international tournament victories throughout his career. At the 1956 Chess Olympiad, Larsen delivered the best performance on board one, earning the individual gold medal. In the famous 1970 match “USSR vs. the Rest of the World,” he played first board for the World team and scored an impressive 2½–1½.
