Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-15-03  ughaibu: This is a very strange one, I need Drukenknight's opinion.
Feb-14-07  Tacticstudent: This game explorer in a strange way the tematic of the psycological shock. I'm sure Kapengut wasn't ready for a queen sacrifice. Tal just played a good game and guaranteed an advantage in the endgame ( two rooks against one queen ). I think Fischer said right about Tal's wishes of finishing the game in one move.
Feb-15-07  ughaibu: After BxR and QxB black has Rg6.
Jun-07-16  clement41: Nice one to watch.
If 20...Bxb3 Nxb3 is forced, as the zwichenzug Nf5 fails to ...Bc2 Nxh4 Bxd3 Rxd3
