| Apr-11-13 | | Rick11: First succes for Whites : the "ç" pawn of Botvinnik is isolated; in fact I think the most important mistake was to exchange his Bishop again the Knight of Petrossian that will be the "king" of chessboard...with the help of White's King himself ! |
|
| Apr-11-13 | | Rick11: 24.b5 ! |
|
| Apr-11-13 | | Rick11: 33...,Rh1 ?? For me, the principal reason of Botvinnik's lost, he had the ultimate possibility to exchange his poor bishop against the knight of his opponent. So, 33...,BxNç3 ! was the last chance to save this five game of the match. The rest of the game is a lesson of strategy, a very great game. In fact, one of my favorite's games ever played in the history of chess. No stonish moves, but the better lesson of strategy for any player ! N.B. : Petrossian played two games in witch he demonstrate his very great talent of tactician !! Let's never forget this two other games, one with each colour. In 1963, a belgium's player wroted, in a newspaper, that this match was without interest ! What a pity ! |
|
| Apr-11-13 | | Rick11: In my first note,one must read : "was NOT to exchange..." Sorry ! |
|
| Mar-13-14 | | maxi: Botvinnik's move 33...Rh1? bothers me. He was an excellent endgame player. I find it hard to understand how he could miss a chance of exchanging his sorry Bishop for the wonderful Knight. After 34.Ne4 Black is cooked and served. |
|
| May-25-14 | | Ulhumbrus: Black's c pawn becomes a target instead of a weapon. This suggests that Black has to get ready for White's thrust b4 by ...a6 and ...b5 |

 | | offramp: Quite early in the game white plays 17.♘c3:e4

That knight makes two quick excursions to d2 and c3, but both times quickly goes back to e4.
When Petrosian eventually plays 46.Ng5...

...the game is very nearly over. |
|
| Dec-30-14 | | Ulhumbrus: Perhaps after 12 Ke2 White's potential threat is not just the move (which Kasparov has indicated) Ne4 by itself but the pair of moves Ne4 and b4 against Black's c pawn |

 | | thegoodanarchist: <HeMateMe: Cold War Misha almost outlived Bobby Fischer. He must have ate his vegetables and laid off the vodka.> Huh??? Botwinnik died in 1995, Fischer in 2008. Yet Botwinnik "almost outlived" Bobby? I guess it depends on your definition of "almost" |

 | | kevin86: Just think: how much could you get by predicting that the new champion would win his first game of the match with his king on the adverse king's castling square? |
|
| Mar-02-15 | | 1d410: What an irrelevant pun. |
|
| Apr-04-15 | | CMDMB: Amazing how Petrosian is able to capitalize on the slightest edge. Next time you don't think it's worth it to press for the win in a "drawish" position, draw inspiration from this! Grinding out such a win demonstrates awesome and masterful technique. |
|
| Apr-26-15 | | ToTheDeath: Petrosian takes full advantage of his slightly better pawn structure and slightly more active king to wear Botvinnik down. In the hands of a real player small edges can be nursed into big ones. |
|
| Apr-26-15 | | Howard: If I'm not mistaken, Petrosian called this one of the best games of his entire career. When he died, in 1984, Chess Life showed one game of his---this one ! |

| May-29-16 | | mykescofield: what's wrong with 19...Nxa2? |
|
| May-29-16 | | User not found: <mykescofield: what's wrong with 19...Nxa2?> 20. Ra1 ..Nb4 .Rxa7 or even BxN first leaving blacks pawns doubled up and his DSB unable to move whites b pawn anyway. |
|
| Nov-28-16 | | paavoh: <<Next time you don't think it's worth it to press for the win in a "drawish" position, draw inspiration from this!>> Exactly true! What economy of forces covering so many squares with so few pieces. The White King was a power tool, compared to the diverted Black Rook, buzzing through the position. |

 | | GrahamClayton: The Black pieces are unable to stop the White King from strolling up the board, and being in the perfect position for a pawn endgame, once all of the pieces are exchanged. |
|
| Oct-11-17 | | Toribio3: King walk! Patience is one of the virtue of Petrosian. |
|
| Feb-25-18 | | tgyuid: well, if the rock of troy says this is his best game am i going to argue.... |
|
| Feb-25-18 | | tgyuid: 8.d5, i like; i think e6 as response is a little too encouraging;; i might have chosen Nbe7, after which further advance can be met with e5 and a queens fiancetto.... |
|
| Feb-25-18 | | tgyuid: Nbd7 is even more effective.... |
|
| Feb-25-18 | | tgyuid: mobilise while the bishop is blunt, i say; as it is black enters an awkward endgame where everything is just sort of wrong |
|
Apr-13-18
 | | yiotta: If I were negotiating odds from Petrosian, I would start by prohibiting king walks exceeding two squares. And no exchange sacs! Make him play chess like a real person! |
|
Apr-14-18
 | | perfidious: That isn't what I should call odds; sounds more like you want to hamstring the poor bugger to me! (laughs) |
