| PVS: The third of three games in honor of Player of the Day Boris Spassky. This is from his successful match for the world championship. |
 |
| Dec-03-02 |
| PVS: This one ends with a flourish. |
|
| Dec-03-02 |
| drukenknight: A flourish or a sort of off note? What about:
29 Ne7+ |
|
| Dec-03-02 |
| drukenknight: forget that move, it is petrosian who needs help here, perhaps 27...Qg6? |
|
| Dec-03-02 |
| PVS: I think it's too late. What about 27...g6? |
|
| Dec-03-02 |
| Kulla Tierchen: Perhaps only a little too late. 26...Qd6 27. Nb5 Qd2 28. Rec1 Nb3. |
|
| Dec-03-02 |
| PVS: After 26...Qd6 27. Nb5 Qd2 comes 28. Rf1 a6 29. Nc3 Nb3 30. Rd1 |
|
| Dec-03-02 |
| Kulla Tierchen: After 28. Rf1 black tries 28…Nb3, enfin c'est un homme perdu. |
|
| Dec-03-02 |
| PVS: Then 29. Ra7 Nd4 30. Nd4 Qd4 31. Rb7 g6 32. Qb5 Kg7 |

| Jesuitic Calvinist: A great game. Spassky made it look so easy, and against Petrosian, too. |

| Spassky69: The defensive genius fails to find 27. g6! 28.Rxd8 Qxd8 29.Qxb5 Qc7 30.Re8 a6 31.Qb4 Qc1+ 32.Qe1
Qxe1+ 33.Rxe1 which holds out longer than 27. Nb7?? which has a tactical refution of 28. Nc6! |

| kevin86: White's position is so strong,that to give up the queen would be a "bag of shells". |

| Gypsy: < Spassky69: The defensive genius fails to find 27. g6! 28.Rxd8 Qxd8 29.Qxb5 Qc7 30.Re8 a6 31.Qb4 Qc1+ 32.Qe1 Qxe1+ 33.Rxe1 which holds out longer ....> The final position is a clear win for White, isn't it? Black has no decent play after 34.Re8. (The more cautious 30.g3 should also win.) |

| Gypsy: M. Filip gives this thematic variation: <If 27...b4, then 28.Re8! Qxd4 29.Rxf8+ Rxf8 30.Rxf8+ Kxf8 31.Qc5+!! Qxc5 32. d8Q#. The pawn promotion would have been a fitting conclusion of White strategic conception.> |

| Knight13: Anyone wanna conclude 18...Bxd5 as a mistake? But 19...Qc2 20...Qxa2 sure is too greedy, and Petro paid the price for it with his resignation. |
|
| Apr-07-08 |
| mistreaver: <Anyone wanna conclude 18...Bxd5 as a mistake?>
Yes i agree that is totaly unnecesary giving his opponent fierce passed pawn |

| totololo: I think that this is THE GAME that FIscher had in mind in all the games in his match with Petrosian in 1971 . Most of his wins occured from a passed pawn d or h.
I think that he understood that Petrosian can defend very well his King ( see Kasparov learning the story) but had difficulty with tactical play related to passed pawns... |
|
| May-30-09 |
| AnalyzeThis: Well, Fischer certainly had this game in mind in his preparations for his match against Spassky, also. He took the black pieces there and improved upon Petrosian's play: Spassky vs Fischer, 1972 |
|

|
