Nov-07-07		whiteshark: Down with all materialistic 'French Defence' players!

Apr-23-08		The Chess Express: Petrosian's line is quite interesting and complex, but white does even better to play 6. Bd2 Bxc3 7. Bxc3 Qc7 8. dxc5 Nd7 9. Qg4.

Aug-21-08		nummerzwei: 6.axb4!? is one of Petrosian´s first "Petrosianic sacrifices", resulting in a monster knight on d6. If 15...Kg8 white plays 16.Nf6+, e.g. 16...gxNf6 17.Qg4+ Kf8 18.exf6 (18.Bxh6+ picking up the queen is also possible) ...Ke8 19.Qg7 Rf8 20.Bxh6 and wins.

Apr-13-10		zabbura2002: Will White still win if Black did not overlook the Bishop move? Or was it a Blitz?

Dec-22-12		Conrad93: The Chess Express, white's line is the best in that position. This is proven by computer analysis.
