Jul-20-03  refutor: what a horrifying line for black...but it gives both sides open play...in my books it's perfect for blitz :)
Sep-10-04  themindset: apparently 32...Qb5+ would have drawn for black.

  Joshka: On my Fritz 8, it plays a line with 5...c6???what is this called? Slav Accepted?......it must be a book line, Fritz played it instintly!
Nov-13-09  kooley782: Am I missing something or does 32.Ba3 win immediately? If so, I guess Tal must have been under time pressure.
Mar-29-17  RKnight: <Kooley782> Your move is fine, but the win is not immediate, e.g. 32. Ba3 Qc2+, 33. Kf1 Rb1+, etc. I rather like 32. Be4 Qg4+ 33. Kd2 g6, 34. Ba3 for a nice finish.
