I love the ending 22 ... xg2? 23 d6!, threatening both 24 x and the <Arabian mate> 24 f6+ and 25 xh7# by <BLOCKING> the 6th rank. |

Nd6+! forcing black to resign.> Pretty amazing that the great tactician Petrosian missed this elegant <X-RAY> shot 12 e4-d6+!:  click for larger viewThe White d1-queen now defends the White d6-knight -through- the Black d4-queen (<X-RAY>), after Black has mistakenly opened the d-file for the White d1-queen by capturing the White d4-pawn (11 ... xd4?) which previously had blocked the White queen's line to d6. |
