Mar-31-05		Pawsome: Geller, the bane of world Champs, has a plus score against Petrosian, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Fischer and split his games with Tal.

Jul-03-05		MrSifter: Petrosian out-maneuvered?

Sep-24-07		Honza Cervenka: Since move 16 till move 28 Petrosian made four moves with his King (Ke1xe2-f2-g2-h2) without being in check. White's opening play seems to be quite dubious here.

Jul-31-08		M.D. Wilson: Geller gives Petrosian a taste of his own medicine.

Oct-28-08		M.D. Wilson: Indeed.

Sep-09-09		ewan14: Why did Petrosian play 6 d5 ?

Feb-19-10		falso contacto: normal standard is not that elegant as a name. maybe a more descriptive one can help. and then, historical proof.
