|
MTuraga: < LucB: I LIKE draws! There's nothing wrong with them if they're played out. The patzer that I am wants to be educated! Play the darned thing out and show me it's a draw ... This format in GRENKE seemed to accomplish this for me.

MTuraga: Petrosian was a deep player who baffled opponents. He was criticized for his many draws but even strong opponents like Botvinnik and Tal failed to grasp his contribution to chess. He was the pioneer of defensive art of chess who was a victim of a hostile press during his lifetime. ...
