Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-11-07  patzerboy: From about move 26 on, this whole game feels like one long puzzle. That's generally the way grandmaster games feel to me, anyhow. Chess is one human endeavor in which pretense dies a very quick death. If you can't see it, you can't see it.
Apr-26-17  tigreton: It's nice to see how Petrosian's pieces are always protecting each other, to the last minute. Who of us would have played 40. g4 allowing the battery with Bb7 and Qf3? Petrosian feels no fears.
Oct-11-21  morphynoman2: Both in the Chess Informant and in the book "Python Strategy" the order of movements is different: 5. Nd4 Nf6 6. Nc3 Nd4 7. Qd4. Then, the commentary by Stockfish to 7. Nc3? is not valid.
