Nov-18-05		aktajha: Tal beautifully presses Timman's defences until they crack. Especially the end, in which Timman seems to think he might keep his defences; but Tal crushes them by another pawn push in stead of the probably suspected taking on e3.

Nov-18-05		euripides: 17 h3 looks suspect if White can't follow up with g4. The doubled pawns also reduce any White chances on the queen's side. I think Tal had a tremendous result in this tournament, after a rather lean period.
