A Deadly Dare to Give a Guy Like Tal || Tal vs Olafsson || 1959. Candidates

[@agadmator]

Turns out the first guy on the left really is Petrosian :D 4th Candidates Tournament players and arbiter (left to right): Tigran Petrosian, Harry Golombek (arbiter), Mikhail Tal, Svetozar Gligoric, Vasily Smyslov, Pal Benko, Bobby Fischer, Fridrik Olafsson, Paul Keres.

[@a.nyangao.m]

Are you positive Benko and Tal are not the other way around?

[@acerituraj4153]

I think it's Keres after Petrosian

[@CaradhrasAiguo49]

Person next to Petrosian looks too old for 43, which was Keres' age in this tournament

[@groussac]

Since they were standing next to each other, how about showing Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian vs Harry Golombek, Stockholm Interzonal (1952), Stockholm SWE, rd 5, Sep-22; Indian Game: Capablanca Variation (A47) · 1-0 www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1106211

[@bezzlebedeviled4756]

3:51 -- The purpose of the "weird-looking" Bh7+ is that Tal has nowhere else useful to put it (aside from d1, where it is basically undeveloped once again). 4:01 -- It's a mystery why Tal didn't play the obviously far superior a3, since the b4 knight has nowhere to retreat. (I can only assume that he thought his opponent might not play g6 if no a3, and Tal briefly fancied keeping his bishop.) 5:31 -- Even though Tal has traded his bishop for all three of his opponent's kingside pawns, the game is actually drawish to behind for him after that (whereas he was dominating after a3).

if white plays Ng5 then black can just play Rcg8, pinning the Knight, and there's no way to defend it I don't think, so then not only can black just win the white knight, but also doesn't even have to worry about Nxh3.
