Dec-23-06		sixfeetunder: Wonder, how nobody has commented this great game - Petrosian just strangles his opponent and leaves him no oppurtunities.

Jan-20-07		Manequinho: By the way, I have Kasparov's annotation on the first moves of this game (until white's 9th move) on a book by him. It's in the chapter where he talks about the importance of dominating the center...

Jan-20-07		Manequinho: Oh, I see that user <AdrianP> has a collection just about this book...

Aug-05-08		ToTheDeath: Petrosian the Python. Classic Squeeze. 32.Re1! is a classy move, a patzer would snatch the d pawn with the knight and allow the black rooks to activate with 32...Re3+.

Apr-13-12		iamdeafzed: ...41.) Rxe7 42.) f6+, forking rook and king

May-18-12		LoveThatJoker: "41. ?" White to play and win, would make an excellent Monday puzzle! LTJ

May-18-12		RookFile: The game was practically over on move 4. When you learn this opening, the first lesson is you DON'T play 4.... b6, because white dominiates d5 as he did in this game.
