| ughaibu: Petrosian was somewhat known for a habit of extreme blundering, the most publicised case was probably from this game: Petrosian vs Bronstein, 1956 |

| Spitecheck: Soltis or Suetin, don't know which haven't got the book on me right now, state that Petrosian's resignation was premature as he can play .....d4 and then ...Qd5. He probably resigned out of disgust, 7...Ng6 is a blunder in the Winawer is it not? Spitecheck |

| ThePurplePimpernel: 'Twere definitely Soltis. Better to lose a pawn than the game! |

| TrueFiendish: 7...Ng6 certainly looks contrary to many of black's ideas in this opening. 7...Qc7. |

| eyalbd: In his book (in Hebrew) Liberzon mentioned 15...d4 but said that the position is lost anyway. I am sure Petrosian resigned out of disgust. I think it's the shortest defeat of a reigning champion ever. |

| darook: Liberzon (who was a funny good spirited gentleman) said about this game (he said it in the late '80s or so) something like (not an exact quote…sorry): "Actually, when I played the bishop to e3 I didn't intend to "win" his queen.
Then I saw the position and though to myself- "this is another Petrosian 'Queen Donation' (Petrosian was an infamous 'queen blunderer') how lucky for me!".
Petrosian looked very surprised after my bishop move, and for a few minutes I (Liberzon) and I think that he too - thought the queen was really lost!. Imagine, 2 top GMs missing a 'simple' beginner's move. I don’t feel too bad about missing that move, because the World Champion missed it as well…". |

| Boot1bullet: Tigran Petrosian was my favorite chessplayer. I can't imagine he blundered this way using his favorite defense(French). |

| percyblakeney: <In his book (in Hebrew) Liberzon mentioned 15...d4 but said that the position is lost anyway> It's still a very early resignation, Rybka sees white as +0.59 after 15. ... d4 and it ought to be far from over, black is after all the World Champion. |

| GrahamClayton: Does this game still hold the record for the shortest loss by a reigning world champion? |

| swarmoflocusts: <percyblakeney>
Really? Fritz 11 sees that as +1.27, 19 moves deep. But Rybka is better... |
