He would not have played this in the World CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Jan-11-13  paavoh: Maybe it was a practice on how to play some tempos down?

Jul-05-14  jerseybob: What Petrosian tries here seems to be an Ujtelky-Pirc type of thing, hoping that once the center is closed, tempos won't be so important. Interesting idea, which he did better in game #3 of his 1970 match against Fischer out of a Caro-Kann. Boleslavsky's 29.Ra2! avoids simplification and keeps white's edge, and what can black do but wait? With 31.g4! and 34.h5! the attack starts.
