Feb-09-13  sfm: It seems that 0-0-0 is just too risky. A nasty lesson in how wrong it can go. White never gets his own counterplay going. That it's Tal sitting on the other side of the table does not help. 19.-,Qb4!, enabling the crash-though on e4, is just one of those moves I think I'd not have found.
Apr-19-18  anjumskhan: Transition phase was moves 14 - 16 when Black equalizes and takes the lead.

  kingscrusher: There is a fascinating aspect in my view of behind the scenes if White had aimed to take on d6 and then c5:

Analysis by Stockfish 16 - one thread version:

1. = (-0.17): 11...Qa5 12.b4 Qa6 13.Rc1 Bxc4 14.Be3 Nbd7 15.Nf3 Ng4 16.Bd4 Nge5 17.Nxe5 Nxe5 18.0-0 Rad8 19.Bxc4 Nxc4 20.Nd5 Rxe4 21.Bxg7 Kxg7 22.Qd3 Qe6 23.Rxc4 Rxc4 24.Qxc4 Qxd5 25.Qc2 b6 26.a3 Qd7 27.g3 Qd3 The position is equal

(Gavriel, 31.07.2023)

The idea of accepting White has a b4 resource but not caring because it amplifies the g7 bishop and the move Qa6 is according to engines equal even though black is two pawns down :)

Amazing stuff in my view "behind the scenes" of this game :)
