| Dec-04-16 | | parisattack: An interesting Petrosian maneuvering game I do not recall seeing. Difficult to understand, but fascinating. Petrosian kept Black from attacking on the K-Side and slowly developed his Q-side attack. This game is listed under 'Reti System' and as far as 'Zukertort Opening - Queen's Gambit Invitation'... The CG.com opening classification and naming needs some attention similar to Bio Bistro. |

| Dec-04-16 | | RookFile: It's basically a Dutch Defense by black. Pretty much the last thing you want to play against Petrosian. |

 | | perfidious: <parisattack....The CG.com opening classification and naming needs some attention....> I have long tilted at the windmills on this whole business of naming conventions as employed here; these Dutch lines which arise by transposition after 1.Nf3 f5 lend themselves to all sorts of foolishness, come to eventual nomenclature, which would never come off if they began life as 1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 e6 etc, thereafter entering familiar positions. It is, in part, for this reason that A04 has an immense number of games to its 'credit' in the listed statistics. As <RookFile> notes, this is simply an offbeat line of the Classical Dutch. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: 8...d6; 9.d4 completes the transposition into a Dutch Defense, Illyn-Zhenevsky <sp?> Variation. In the database, Hug has almost zero games with any sort of Dutch Defense, demonstrating once again Petrosian's gift for gently persuading opponents to play on his turf with their pieces in the wrong places. |

 | | al wazir: Stupid game, stupid pun. It's "Die Leiden des Jungen *Werthers*." And 20 isn't that young. |
|
| Jun-08-20 | | SkySports: <al wazir... Stupid game> Debatable, but we can discuss... <stupid pun> The fact that the name of the main character of the novel is Werthers doesn’t mean anything. A pun is “a play on words, either on different senses of the same word or on the similar sense or sound of different words”. Werner recall Werther, so I’d say the pun (which, incidentally, is mine) is ok. Finally, in your opinion 20 can even be old, but generally it is considered a “young” age (in fact the Werthers of the novel was around 20). |

 | | OhioChessFan: It's a serviceable pun. I find the drastic change in Pawn structure from moves 40-43 interesting.

| Jun-08-20 | | goodevans: Seems like an odd point for black to resign unless, perhaps, an adjournment was involved. |

| Jun-08-20 | | jith1207: That's Funny, <OCF>, Good find! |

| Jun-08-20 | | faulty: Adjournment, therefore, resignation
I personally like the fun. What the black underwent is actually 'psychological sorrows' as there was no howler involved. the black were suffering move after move, and the situation was getting worse and worse... What concerns the age, 20 was VERY LITTLE in 1972. Remember, that they would have U26 at that time.
Now, if you are 17 and still under 2650, you will get nowhere. But those days it was different.
From me, max points to the Author of this Pun |

| Jun-08-20 | | C. Auguste Dupin: Typical Petrosian ( but without the trademark exchange sac) |
|
| Jun-08-20 | | Brenin: Over the board, I think most of us would have played on for a few more moves. However, if you have just sealed 43 ... Rg8, then the first few seconds of adjournment analysis would reveal White's next three moves. Whether you're called Werner or Werther you would decide it was time to end your sorrows in the easiest way, especially against an opponent of Petrosian's calibre. |

| Jun-08-20 | | saturn2: So what happens next - pinnng the knight by f3 Ne5 Bb2 followed by Qa1, then opening the center by e4? I would have preferred to be shown by Petrosian. |

| Jun-08-20 | | SkySports: Stockfish suggests 44.Bb2+ Kh7 45.Qd4 Qf7 46.Ra7 Kg6 47.Bf3 Rd8 48.Qd1 Nf6 49.g4 h5 50.gxh5+ Kh6 51.c6 g4 52.hxg4 fxg4 53.Bg2 Rxd6 54.cxb7 Bxb7 55.Bxf6 |
