Dec-25-04		GreenDayGuy: If 51. f5 Kg5 52. g3 Kf6 53. Kf4 Kf7 54. Kg5, etc.

Dec-25-04		PinkPanther: This is the Petrosian Variation, right?

Dec-25-04		maoam: <PinkPanther> Yes, after the 11.Bxc4 the position is the Petrosian variation of the neo-orthodox QGD.

Oct-18-05		Poisonpawns: This is gm 6 of a canidates reserve match betwwen the two i think Tal was ranked 3 in the world at this time.Thes game is funny because Tal is too anxious to draw 26..Qe4!? played with the idea of 27.Qxd7? Qf4+ 28.Kg1 Qc1+ etc with an easy draw...but The "magician" from riga runs into the stunning 27.Bxf7! losing a vital pawn and now the endgame is andersson`s specialty and he grinds Tal down in a neat endgame.

Oct-19-05		Mateo: <Poisonpawns> I don't see the point of your !? after 26... Qe4, because there is nothing better for Tal. It is obvious that the magician foreseen 27. Bf7. What else could he play? The only alternative I see would be 26... b5, but after 27. Qa5, Andersson has a won position anyway. For instance 27... Qe4 28. Qd8 Kh7 29. Qb8! Qd4 30. Bf7 Bc8 31. f4! .

Oct-20-05		Mateo: The point of no return for Tal was 25... a5? Better for instance 26... Be6. If 27. Be6 fe6 28. Qc7 Qf8! .
