Feb-08-04  Catfriend: Although a good game, it isn't a reak Tal classic
Feb-08-04  MoonlitKnight: No, it's not. He was only 16, and for a world champion, he started playing seriously very late - at age 12.
Apr-20-06  DARTHPLAGUEIS: the dark force is very strong in this one---he never lets his challenger feel the blade

  fredthebear: Those last three White knight moves are a good example of turning a seemingly simple single threat into a double threat. A knight in the center is venomous.
