  stoy: Another nice Polugaevsky win against Tal is the semi-Tarrasch in 1969, number 11 in this database. At the time it was very impressive.
Jun-17-14  Howard: Oh, Bryce101, no doubt plenty of people liked this game. Pal Benko analyzed it in Chess Life back in '80, plus Marin's excellent book Learn From the Legends also annotated it.
