Aug-07-07  patzerboy: Black's Queen is in a pickle. She can get out of it, but only at the cost of a lot of time. Meanwhile, White sets up a nice attack on the Black King with the f-pawn as a wedge. Also, Rh3 and Qh6 are in the air after chasing the Black Queen away. For form's sake, Black could have played a few more moves, but it would have been pointless against Petrosian.
Aug-07-07  Davolni: <patzerboy> By looking at your posts, can i conclude that you are a big fan of Petrosian?
Aug-10-07  patzerboy: As I look at more and more of his games, I am becoming a big fan of his. A few months back, Capablanca was my focus, but I didn't post much then.

  kingscrusher: Model Maroczy bind game - Petrosians Nd4 triggered a vacuum of dark square weaknesses around the King and the space advantage meant he could switch attacking resources to the K-side.
