  catfriend: wow, no sacrifice but the attack is destructive! The Wizard weakens black's pawn structure, then gradually improves his position, helping himself to an extra-pawn. At the end, every pawn or key-square is controlled by the white Q, Tal's K is absolutely safe while it's black rival is all exposed. Black's pawns are a disaster.

It's all a result of the smart asault on the k-side, using no tactics, but effective nevertheless!
