  An Englishman: Good Evening: The complications don't begin until most of the pieces have gone off the board, but it ends with Duras' King dancing merrily front of all of White's pieces (and 2 connected passed pawns) in a manner which Petrosian would have liked.

The game features a lot of motifs which have become standard in this variation, such as the pawn rush to a6 and Black's sacrifice of the h-pawn to open a 2nd file against the White King. The final mating pattern is pretty good.
