Mar-04-06  Timothy Glenn Forney: Pawn Power! 15.Bxe6! A classic Tal sac.I love how he Forks the R and Q then and builds tactics around it,forcing the Q to take the R with 22.Rc7+.I have done the same B sac with a N forking a Q and R,it was in a sicilian dragon,I have it linked to www.chessmaniac.com in the forums under 'my great games'.I also sac a R for mate.
Mar-04-06  whatthefat: This is a very nice game from Tal. With 17.Nd5! (rather than 17.Nxd8 Rxd8 when white is on top but black can fight) he illustrates the value of a knight on the 6th.

Also strong for white is 17.Qh3!? aiming to use the possible discovery on the black king, while looking at the kingside pawns.

Mar-04-06  Timothy Glenn Forney: 17.Qh3 is a great idea,thanks for pointing that out.
