Apparently Petrosian was Kotov guard by Black's sacrifice on g4, although it looks as though he could have escaped with only slightly worse chances after 17. Ndf3, Nd4 (since on ...Na5 White's queen now has an escape square on f4) 18. cxd4, Bxa4 19. Bxa4, when White has three pieces for the queen — although he is still faced with the task of getting them into play before Black can exploit their incoordination. ∞ |

<ChessHigherCat: That's a good idea, on j4 the queen can promote to a hyperspace phantom and haunt the winner for all eternity> The problem is, 18. Qj4 opens the hyperspace option for both players, and Black can then reply 18. ... Q(letter-that-comes-before-a)10, at which point every piece becomes virtual and begins to pop in and out of existence on random points at random intervals until the end of time. Probabilistically, this would be a bad thing for White because wherever his king is, he may be in check, and there is nowhere he can go for which this is not true, so in hyperspace terms 18. ... Q(letter-that-comes-before-a)10 is virtual mate. (This is not to address the vexed question of what happens when, as is certain to happen sooner or later, a virtual piece pops up on the same square occupied by Petrosian's king.) ∞ |

| Dec-26-16 | | AlicesKnight: It looks like a Petrosian blind-spot, so focussed on the K-side and protecting the piece-gain. Perhaps most dramatic was his oversight and Q-loss in a totally dominant position - Petrosian vs Bronstein, 1956 |

| Dec-26-16 | | The Kings Domain: The young Petrosian gets caught.
I don't get the pun. |
|
| Dec-26-16 | | GlennOliver: "The Kings Domain:
I don't get the pun."
Don't Take Your Coatoff, i.e. Petrosian is not staying long. The alternative move -
17. Ng2
- is fractionally better, but still utterly lost after -
17. ... Nd4 |

| Dec-26-16 | | BobbieM: 16 Qa4, can anyone explain this move to me?? |
|
| Dec-26-16 | | izimbra: <BobbieM: 16 Qa4, can anyone explain this move to me??> W played a poor opening and got caught in some tactics. The problems with <12.g4> weren't that easy to spot. If they had been spotted, then <9.Qe2> was already a poor move. By the time of <16.Qa4> W is trying to save the loss of a piece after BxNh4. But it turned out that there isn't any good way to do that. It's a tactical hornet's nest. Stockfish thinks that <16.Qa4 Be8 17.Ng2 Nd4 18.cxd4 Bxa4 19.Bxa4> was probably W's best continuation...where Black is winning. |

| Dec-26-16 | | morfishine: Horrific game not worthy of "Game of the Day" status Is this all this site is good for, making fun of someone's name, and having to use a sub-par game to do it? Truly pathetic

| Dec-26-16 | | RookFile: Spassky pointed out that Petrosian was a great tactician. In this game he wasn't quite ready. Later, things like this stopped happening in his games. Fabulous pun, by the way. |
|
| Dec-26-16 | | jith1207: If the game is good, and pun is not good, criticism would be that puns should have some other place. And, if the game is not good in critic's opinion, it is made out that the game is chosen to make use of a pun. FEveryone'sI, Puns are submitted by fans here and the quality resembles the average fan. If someone wants a better pun, then the critic should work on it on here, as it becomes everyone's responsibility especially the one who always likes to dish out. If a better game in critic's opinion is not in place here always, may be the critic should run a website and see for oneself how difficult it is to match everyone's expectations All.The.Time. For crying out loud, this website seems to be the one which is not commercially oriented and still they are doing all they could to make the viewers interested, most probably with limited resources. Last thing I would do would be to criticize them every sunrise and sunset. But that's just me. |

| Dec-26-16 | | john barleycorn: <blunderclap: <Abdel Irada> Thank you for your excellent analysis of the hyperspace variations that spring from 18.Qj4.> yeah, the *good* scientist and *decent* mathematician tried his best to be lucid and funny while showing off as an idiot. |

| Dec-26-16 | | RandomVisitor: After 6...e6 white is in a cramped position and the order of unfolding the pieces becomes critical. Perhaps white should have tried the innovation Bf4 (0-0 or h3 might transpose) before Nbd2, as otherwise the bishop is blocked.

| Dec-26-16 | | ChessHigherCat: <jith1207: If someone wants a better pun, then the critic should work on it on here> I agree, I'm baffled by all the vitriolic attacks on puns: "Let's stamp out every trace of levity and wit before the contagion spreads!" Some of the puns are hilarious and that kind of sideways imaginative thinking is a welcome complement to the extreme rigor and tension of chess. Or, to put it less pedantically, lighten up:-) |

| Dec-27-16 | | wtpy: Morfishine sometimes it can be instructive to see great players lose a minature though by definition they played that game poorly. |
|
| Dec-27-16 | | joe1137: Good pun. |
|
| Dec-30-16 | | Abdel Irada: ∞
Try to be patient with <morfishine>. I think when he was a child, in his most impressionable formative years, someone made a bad pun while dismantling him over the board, and he has yet to forgive the English language for allowing such an outrage. ∞ |

 | | FSR: Weird fact: Petrosian and Kotov played 12 games, with each winning 2. This 17-move game was the longer of Petrosian's two losses. The other was Kotov vs Petrosian, 1949. |

|

| | FSR: <perfidious> Kopec would not be born for two more years. Amazing that he'd already taught Petrosian about his system. |
