Apr-04-05  babakova: Ok, Petrosjan plays to crush his opponent from move one. According to Fritz black can "refute" the cute Nf6+ with Nxf6 instead of Bxf6, but the real blunder is 20... Qh5?? where the simple Nf6 seems to hold, its still very unpleasant for black though.
Jun-04-08  Sem: Petrosian seemed to have his own view of pawn structures, very interesting.

  kingscrusher: Earlier instead of 19.Nf6+ White could play 19.h5 with the idea of g6 which is less controversial it seems

In the game if 20...Nxf6 it seems nearly +5 for White technically:

Analysis by Stockfish 14:

1. +- (4.81): 21.Bc4 Ne8 22.Rdg1 Qd2 23.Qf3 Qh6 24.Rg5 a5 25.Rhg1 a4 26.Bxg7 Nxg7 27.Qg3 Kf8 28.Rxg7 Ke7 29.Rf1 Rf8 30.Qe5 Bd7

It seems intuitively that black's king is not safe and the g-file is too dangerous
