Oct-05-03  tud: It's a 17 d5 !!
Nov-23-04  jmvargas: 7...Nb6?
here was better to play 7...Nd5xNc3 8.b2xNc3 8...c5xd4
Sep-06-15  Poisonpawns: Tal at his peak. If 18..dxe4 then Bb6!and Qxe4+
May-23-17  tigreton: A prove that Tal saw his pieces from a dynamic perspective is the move 16. Be3. He knew the pawn won't be on d4 for too long, and that the bishop won't actually close the e-file for the rook.
Jul-10-21  TheBish: Both 17. d5!! and 18. Rfe1! could be solutions to weekend POTDs (puzzles), except for one thing: There's no way to know that Black has already moved his king, and so can't castle! In puzzles, you normally assume castling is possible, unless otherwise indicated. Black would be bailed out by 0-0-0 if it were possible.

Note that if 18...Be7, White has 19. Nf6+! or 19. Nd6+!.
