Apr-14-11		ewan14: Very interesting game , featuring a you know what sacrifice by you know who

Apr-14-11		sevenseaman: I shun analysing draws. One of the best I've seen, pulsating!

Apr-15-11		perfidious: One of Petrosian's few interesting efforts from this event, and one relatively bright spot amidst an otherwise disastrous event for Korchnoi.

Apr-15-11		nolanryan: amazing game.. i had thought petrosian's position had more upside early on but the end def looks like a equal/drawish to me

Apr-15-11		ewan14: Believe it or not some of Petrosian's draws are really exciting and / or interesting Kasparov knew this in OMGP Petrosian v Gligorich 1962 ( ? ) Petrosian v Stein 1967 ? Bronstein v Petrosian
