Dec-15-05  Autoreparaturwerkbau: Is the threat 23.Bh6?
Apr-15-12  sfm: <Dec-15-05 Autoreparaturwerkbau: Is the threat 23.Bh6?> If you shouldn't have run into the answer in the previous 7 years, well, probably the worst threat is axb, which is a bit hard to do something good about.
Apr-15-12  thegoldenband: If the game's information is correct, then Segal -- who was born in 1947 -- would have been four or, at the most, five years old when this game was played. We also have another Tal-Segal game with the same year and location:
