| Jun-29-05 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: I like the story about this game by the Mikhail Tal 's second Gennady Sosonko about this particular match. Link can be found here:

| Feb-13-07 | | LivBlockade: A beautiful game - White's initiative continues from the middle game until the endgame. What is White's strongest continuation if Black plays 27... a4  of answering 28. e7 with ... xf7 or 28. d6 with ... c6 or 28. h6+ with ...h7? - Thanks.By the way, the triangle appeared when I typed 'with the idea' within the curly braces used for figurine algebraic notation. |
|
| Feb-14-07 | | LivBlockade: I'll try to answer my own question. If 27...a4; 28. d6 c6; 29. e7  e8; 30. xc4 dxc4; 31. d6 followed by xf6 looks strong for White. He may be able to follow this up with an advance of the g-pawn, if not an attack with the two rooks and h-pawn. |

 | | hicetnunc: <LivBlockade> 28...Bc6 is an interesting idea ; in your variation, I wonder if white can't go 29...Re8 30.Rxd5!? as 30...Bxd5 31.Nxe8 Bc6 32.Nxf6+ Kf7 33.e8Q looks like a winning ending |
|
| Dec-28-08 | | zev22407: What if black plays 21)..Q-e7 instead of his R-c4? |

| | TigerPawns: 33.. Bc8 seems pretty bad, I think 33 ... Rc7 is much more stubborn. Or even better the slightly refined 33 ... Rc1+ Kh2 34 Rc7. Perhaps black can even hold? |

 | | Shams: <TigerPawns> 33...Rc7 34.Re6 will cost black his f-pawn since 34...Rf7 allows a fork. Three connected passers on the kingside plus knight and rook should roll easily, no? |

 | | Hesam7: <I can picture well Lyova's [Polugaevsky's] face after he had won one of his best known games at the USSR Championship in Moscow in 1969 against Tal, when I was the second of the losing side. The variation that occurred in this game had been analysed by Misha and me earlier, during our preparation for his match with Korchnoi, and, as it seemed to us, quite thoroughly. We did not examine in particular detail the position that arose after Black's 20th move. In fact, Black was a piece up, White's rook and knight were attacked, and there did not appear to be any direct threats. Lyova however, had analysed deeper. He found a continuation of the attack and he won prettily. Geller later remembered that on the evening before this game he had dropped in at Polugaevski's room in the hotel and had seen some position set out on the board. That same position was reached the following day in Lyova's game against Tal on move 25!> -- Genna Sosonko |

| Nov-20-09 | | Cercatore: Why not
22. ... Kxh5
??? |
|
| Nov-20-09 | | Buttinsky: If 22...Kxh5 23 g4+ leads to checkmate after 23...Kh6 or g6 or h4. |
|
Dec-25-09
 | | wwall: Instead of 34...Kh8, perhaps Black can provide more resistance with 34...Kg8. If 34...Kg8 35.Nh4 Rc1+ 36.Kh2 Rc4 37.f4 Rxf4 38.Ng6 Rf5 39.g4 Rg5 40.Re8+ Kg7 41.Rxc8 Rxg4 42.Ne7 Rh4+ 43.Kg3 Rxh5 may draw. |

 | | whiteshark: "And indeed, in the later game Polugayevsky - Tal, Black suffered a swift catastrophe after missing the best defence <18...Rc6!>" Kasparov in MGP3 |
|
| May-15-12 | | srag: I have read an interview in which Tal stated he was trying hard to forget his 1969 games. |
|
| May-27-12 | | LoveThatJoker: In MGP3, Kasparov also added the following quote from Geller in his analysis after 25 e6!!, Kasparov: White spent literally only a few minutes on these 25 moves. 'Glancing at this position, I could not believe my eyes: it had been reached that morning on Polugaevsky's board in his hotel room! His analytical work in this variation resembles the best examples of Botvinnik's work.' (Geller) LTJ |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Great game by Polu. it's a little surprising how often Black used to allow 16.d5!; the database has a surprising number of games, and Black's results are dismal. |

 | | perfidious: <kevin86> To Tal's regret, in games with this opponent, by no means so-the score in decisive games was 8-2 Polugaevsky. |
|
| Mar-28-13 | | YetAnotherAmateur: <Cercatore: Why not 22. ... Kxh5>
<Buttinsky: If 22...Kxh5 23 g4+ leads to checkmate after 23...Kh6 or g6 or h4.> I'm not so sure it's immediate checkmate, but it's still very bad for black: 22. ... Kxh5
23. g4+ Kh6
24. Nxf7+ Kh7
25. Qh2+ Kg8
26. Nxd8 |

 | | scormus: Wow, some game by Lev. Tal got .... Talled? |
|
| Mar-28-13 | | gars: "I have been trying to forget all the games I played in 1969", said Tal in an interview. |
|

| | RookFile: Yet another game where black's bishop on b7 is useless. A goal of mine when playing black is to develop it differently, in order to swap it for some random piece of white's. |
|

 | | Tomlinsky: Polugaevsky practically killed this line at the top level with this game. Vallejo-Pons revived the variation thinking that he could do a better job than Tal but the result was equally disastrous... Ponomariov vs Vallejo-Pons, 2009 |
