| Eggman: J Emma vs Leonid Stein, 1966 is the game cited above by McGee in which both players overlook the capture of a Queen. In the following position ...

| notyetagm: Anyone know if this game is annotated in GM Keene's new book on Petrosian, or in any other Petrosian game collection (Vasiliev, Soltis, etc.)? Thanks.

| Benzol: <notyetagm> The game gets discussed in Vasiliev's book but it's not in the games covered. Afterward Petrosian went for a long walk and was accompanied by Keres. Very little conversation took place between the two men whilst walking. |

| vizir: the final position is commented on Kotov's "PLAY LIKE A GRANDMASTER" Petrosian said "I simply didn't think about the black's only active piece" |

| Tactic101: Makes me feel better about my mistakes that I sometimes make! Another game that definately is an example of masterful strategic play by Petrosian, only to throw away his victory by a simple oversight. I wonder if teachers use this example on how to play positionally. If they do, do they cancel out Petrosian's last move so the point isn't lost? |

| Rubenus: I have read somewhere that this is a blitz game. Perhaps he was in serious time trouble? |

 |
| keypusher: <Rubenus> Read the earlier comments. It was not a blitz game, but a regular game from the tournament to determine who would challenge Botvinnik for the world title. And Petrosian was not in time trouble, though Bronstein was. |

| ughaibu: I doubt that Petrosian, in 1956, would've made such a blunder in a blitz game. |
|

| Rubenus: Sorry, I was too lazy to read three whole pages. (It was said in a book with a collection of big blunders) |
|

| Troglodyte: I remember reading somewhere, I think Seirawan said it, that Petrosian used so much energy analysing positions more deeply than his opponents that he would once in a while have such collapses in exhaustion, where he overlooked something obvious. |

| JG27Pyth: I'd love to know how long Bronstein looked at the board thinking, "ok, _what_ am I missing!?" |

| keypusher: <I'd love to know how long Bronstein looked at the board thinking, "ok, _what_ am I missing!?"> His flag was about to fall, so he could not have taken long. See earlier comments. |

| xeroxmachine: Similar theme as in: Kamsky vs Shirov, 2007 |

| Brown: This is a shame, in that Petrosian was really honing his prophylactic style around this point. In another 2 years he was to become nearly unbeatable. Bronstein, my all time fave, is tied up in knots by Petrosian's excellent play. 36.Qc7 looks good enough to end the game. |

| Brown: Around move 12, black has a bishop playing playing proctologist to a lame horse. He needs to talk to his pieces a bit and get some activity. Bronstein tried to solve this with the tricky 12...Qa5, threatening Qxc3 and Nxe2+ with the royal fork. Petrosian sidesteps this with 14.Kh1. Now black's queen is added to list the misplaced pieces. This in mind, black may want to play 12.Re8, Preparing Nf8 and a possible f5 or e4. |

| WhiteRook48: What happened to Petrosian?
"Petrosian blundered! He blundered! He played Ng5 to offer up the Queen!" |
|
| Mar-02-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 36 Ng5 was actually a deep in position sacrifice... but Petrosian forgot all about it. Have you ever blundered a queen like that?? Wow. |

| vaskokibika: I make such moves in my games quite often. But once I won a tournament game against a GM with this style: Me vs GM
click for larger view 1. Be5 Rg6 2. Rg4 Rxg4 3. Qxg4
click for larger view 3...Qf5?? 4.Qg7#
I'll not post his name, since he is really a nice guy. When he saw my move Qg7, he smiled and say: "Ha, I was just checkmated" |

| Paraconti: Up to move 34 I don't think Petrosian had played more beautifully. Bronstein must have been upset to win; I'm sure he'd preferred to lose after being outplayed. |

| watwinc: Botvinnik is reported as having said this move killed two players - Bronstein had been crushed in one of his key openings, Petrosian left his queen en prise ... |

| Petrosianic: <but the idea that Bronstein definitely would have forfeited seems far-fetched (unless someone checked afterwards and determined Bronstein only had one second left or something).> That's what happened. Someone picked up the clock to see how much time Bronstein had left, and the flag fell almost instantly. Petrosian, on the other hand, had plenty of time. He had gotten up, come back to the board, assumed that Black had played Nc6 again, and just moved without looking. He had gotten careless, playing for the adjournment (and for those who don't know what an adjournment is, don't ask. You'd never believe me.) |
