Jul-09-05  ThunderStorm: Opponent's king stuck and one more move a grand checkmate...notable game by Petrosian again!
Jul-14-05  Ernest van der Sar: I really can't understand why some here tend to stuff feathers up the often famous or infamous grandmaster's a*** after a great mistake by the opponent...If Parma would have been more carefull, he might have caught a draw. I wouldn't dare calling a draw a notable game for Petrosian, specially not against Parma, no matter which skills this GM? might possess...
Jul-14-05  mormonchess: It's still a nice game by Petrosian. He certainly deserves respect, being the first World Champion to successfully defend his title since Steinitz.
Sep-09-05  ThunderStorm: Yes Petrosian still deserves some respect for the games he played for their positional play

  Honza Cervenka: <He certainly deserves respect, being the first World Champion to successfully defend his title since Steinitz.> Lasker, Alekhine and Botvinnik defended threir title successfully too.
May-05-14  Bartacus: The position after White's 23rd has been annotated. Black missed winning a pawn with 23...Nxg3+! 24 hg3 Qh6+, picking up the White rook on c1.
May-05-14  ewan14: He deserves respect for being a brilliant player

( but not cheating )

per Benko 1962

Sep-05-15  dr. dick: More than a pawn for black. Rook and pawn against knight.
Mar-04-23  edubueno: In fact the combination 23...Nxg3+! 24 hg3 Qh6+ does not bring any advantage for black because of the white's threat f4 and f5 with equality at least. Just an example: 26.Rd1 Qh6 27.f4 Nc6 28.Qf2 b5 29.Qb6 Ba8 30.Qxa6 Rb8 31.f5 exf5 32.Rf1 Ne7 33.Qxh6 gxh6 34.Bd5 fxe4 35.Bxf7+. Probably Parma was in time trouble.
Mar-04-23  edubueno: From the estrategy point of view, 18...b5! was the correct plan in order to place the knight on c4 blocking the white bishop.
