| devioustalfan: 3...d6 has no point in my view other than restricting the kings bishop.
3...e6 however frees up queen and bishop. its too late for a proper Dragon, which would give us space. however 3..d6 does provide against 4...Nf6 5. e5 not that it makes 3...d6 any better |

| devioustalfan: boo <RookFile>!
Tal was a genius!
The Q-sac was brilliant along w/ the knight sac on move 13. The rook capture was forced and he wins the Exchange and gains the attack! |
