Chess Puzzle

I finished solving today's acrostic puzzle in the Sunday magazine of The New York Times. Here is the quotation, taken from Paul Hoffman's book King's Gambit.

Fischer's adversaries knew that he derived unwholesome pleasure from ravishing them. When he was alone, psyching himself up for a game, people would hear him shout, "Slam! Bam! Zowie!" as he banged pieces down on the board.

My first inkling that the puzzle had a chess theme occurred when I saw clues such as these: "Premier when Mikhail Tal was chess champ" [Khrushchev] and "One hosting the 1972 Spassky match" [Icelander]. There were also clever answers like "pawnshop" and "archbishop" that played on the names of chess pieces.
