Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-11-09  ROADDOG: Why did black resign? Doesnt seem so easy for white to win in this position? After 23....Qxd3 cant black hold off the e file pawns and also have a clear diaganol to the white King?
Jun-11-09  1. h4: If 23...Qxd3, then 24.exf7+ followed by advancing the second e-file pawn will force the win of a rook.
Jun-11-09  ROADDOG: Yes of course, thank-you.

  kingscrusher: 19...d4 played for a diabolical trap which Petrosian must have been amused by :)

If exd4 then black has Nf3+ winning:
