  perfidious: Surprising indeed to see a former world champion known for the breadth of his opening knowledge fall into a stock trap.
May-24-23  King.Arthur.Brazil: Tal fall in to a trap. Maybe, he had to continue with: 18. f4 Bxc3 19. bxc3 Qc6 20. Bf3 Qc8 or 18... Bd4+ 19. Kh1 Qc6 20. Bf3 Be3. Maybe, Black would prefer 19... Bxc3 20. bxc3 Qh4, when White is paralyzed. Very bad position for our hero indeed.
