| Egghead: Beautiful play. Smyslov sacrifices his queen to stop the check, seeing that he can win back Black's queen plus the exchange. Perfectly logical and completely surprising at the same time. |

| Assassinater: <Yes - geat game - Kasparov wongly thinks Smyslov doesnt contribute to Chess theory etc...nonsense!> Where do you get that idea from? I have GK's OMGPII here, and it says '[Smyslov's] contribution to theory is no less significant than that of Botvinnik...' |

| Fusilli: I'd say that after 14.Bg5 Black looks quite bad, with an uncoordinated and cramped position. However, two years later Black created a lot of trouble for White with 14...Nc6 instead of 14...Rc8: Tringov vs M Oren, 1956. (White won, but not without going first through borderline cardiac arrest.) |

| Sem: An honourable game in a world championship. When I was 14, I clipped articles out of newspapers regarding the second match Tal-Botvinnik. Their games showed the same ... well, what was it?Recklessness, the search for an objective truth, holding on to an idea while testing it in the hardest circumstances, steadfastedness, in short: courage. |

| AnalyzeThis: Pretty much a textbook display of how white wins these positions by pushing the h pawn down the board. |
