| Benzol: Polugaevsky and Spassky did some joint work together in 1969. The fruits of this were this game and the following. Spassky vs Petrosian, 1969 |

| pim: 22 .. Kh5 is not entirely clear to me: 23 g4+ Kg6 and then after 24 Qf5+ Kh6 25 Qh7+ (f4 g6) Kg5: 26 Qg7:+ Kf4 Black's king seems to walk away.
Later on 27 .. Na4 fails to 28 Nd6 Rc7 29 e7
Beautiful play by Polu |

| Benzol: <pim> Following your line up to move 25 is good only instead of 26.Qg7 could you not play 26.Qh5+ then if 26...Kf4 27.Qf5. |

| Chessical: 22...Kxh5 (Pim) gets mated 23.g4+ Kg6 24.Qf5+ Kh6 25.Nxf7+! Rxf7 26.Qh5 mate A Polugaevsky masterpice of high quality preparation followed by true grandmasterly skill at the board. |

| Chessical: For another very high quality attacking games founded on Polugaevsky's "grandmaster preparation" see: Polugaevsky vs E Torre, 1981 |

| Bitzovich: Polugaevsky claimed in his book that the position after move 25 was on his Analysis board PRIOR to the game! WOW talk about Kasparov opening preparation. |

| Tigran Petrosian: It will be hard for black to find an improvement in this line. |

| drukenknight: would it make more sense to advance the pawn 17...e4? |
|
| Mar-13-04 |
| Brian Watson: the pawn can be taken |
|
| Mar-13-04 |
| drukenknight: yes it can... |

| Poisonpawns: Khalifman vs Karpov, 1993 This game shows this line is still viable |

| 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:

| 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. |

| 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 |

| zev22407: What if black plays 21)..Q-e7 instead of his R-c4? |
|
| Apr-25-09 |
| 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 |

| Cercatore: Why not
22. ... Kxh5
??? |
|

| Buttinsky: If 22...Kxh5 23 g4+ leads to checkmate after 23...Kh6 or g6 or h4. |
