Nov-11-06		ForeverYoung: I played through this game today while in a coffee shop. Great attack by Schlecther! Smooth technique as well to score the point. The annotator noted 9 ... h6 as a mistake. Note in this game that black did not follow up with ... Re8 and ... Bf8.

Apr-10-07		Regicidal: The 9. ...h6 is the Smyslov variant that comes into vogue with the versatile Russian baritone in the '60s. There are two other Tal-Smyslov games that use this RL variant, both with 9. ...h6. Interesting that it is listed here as a dubious move.
