| JohnTal: Chessgames - many thanks for a great game to enjoy on my 52nd birthday. Hard to believe that he is unrelated to his namesake WC, even though both were from Armenia. Certainly, this style would have added more gray hairs to his WC namesake. Great forcing sacrifices - forcing mate in 5 with 2 Bishops raking the K-side. Black stands with a Q and R advantage, yet is helpless against 2 strong B's v. the open King. Played in my best style!

| al wazir: If 28...Qc5, does white have anything better than 29. Rxc5 Nxc5 30. h8=Q+ Rxh8 31. Bxh8 ? <think: Why doesn't black take on f4 on moves 16?> I think it was because of 16. Bxf4 Qxf4 17. Re4 Qe3 18. Rae1. |

| Avarus: I first looked "wow, Petrosian, not possible? " only then realising it is a 2006 game =) |

| Alphastar: <Themofro: Wow, incredible attack and not at all what I was expecting due to it being Petrosian =)> This is NOT the world champion Petrosian, but some other who happens to have the same first and last name. |

| Giearth: Just to make <Alphastar's> point clearer, Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian is not Tigran L Petrosian. They are two different people. ;) Ahh, silly me... ;p |

| patzerboy: Play through Petrosian's games. He was as tactically astute as anyone. (You pretty much have to be at that level, anyway. Without tactical ability, all the positional feel in the world won't get you very far.) His style was a play-it-safe, careful one (limiting the opponent's options), but when tactical opportunities arose, he jumped right in. |

| keypusher: Yee-haw! If this game had been played in 1883 rather than 2006, it would be world-famous. Not often nowadays that the big sacrifices get made on the board rather than in the notes. Nice of Black to play all the way to the mate. |

| ahmadov: When I saw the game on the home page I thought this was the elder Petrosian, but then I saw his rating and the year of the game. Still, the game is very interesting... |

| King mega: haha....Tigran petrosian..not the world champ! |

| xKinGKooLx: A great game, with a excellent combination at the end. Another good pun for this game would be "Eye of the Tigran", because Petrosian has a sharp eye out for combinations like this. |

| Open Defence: I was thinking like <Minasian Field> for the minefield Minasian's King walked into |

| dabearsrock1010: if i was black i do not think i would have castled kingside. I would have tried d5, Bd7, and then queenside castling or something like that |

| Dr. Funkenstein: Spirit, Minasian paid in a lump for all the sorrows of Petrosian's major pieces, all that Minasian killed in the fury of his spear |

| Emma: A Game like this make you realise that people are world champions because they are the best tacticions. Everything else is just style |

| Breunor: blingice: That doesn't do anything: Qxd4.
I don't think this works, after Qxd4, I think black can play Nf3 ch nabbing the queen. al wazir: If 28...Qc5, does white have anything better than 29. Rxc5 Nxc5 30. h8=Q+ Rxh8 31. Bxh8 ? Not sure, how about 29 g5 ch? If N x g5, R x Q may be better here. |

| mallocks: <al wazir> Rybka suggests the following line following 28...Qc5: 17-ply (+7.22) 29.Raf1 b6 30.R1f3 Ba6 31.Rxc5 Bxd3 32.Rh5+ Kg6 |
|

| GrandPatzerSCL: It's nice of Minasian to play through to checkmate, despite knowing the mate was coming. I appreciate that kind of stuff, as do others, I'm sure. |

| kevin86: A one in a million game. White sacrifices queen and rook to mate with a pawn!! Much too much of black's army is left on the starting blocks. The rooks and bishop are as useful as Christmas tree lights in mid July. |

| patzerboy: Yikes! wrong Tigran.

| Davolni: Just by looking this game, I think young Petrosian deserves his name!!! |

| WhiteRook48: if it was any world champion then it would be Tal not Petrosian |
