How Petrosian Uses SPACE to Control the Chessboard!

[@SoimulPatriei]

Szabo's loss can be attributed to overlooking the knight tactics you pointed out. Had he made that knight move, the game probably would have concluded in a draw. Petrosian's space advantage wasn't the primary reason for the defeat.

It's true, everyone loves attacking chess like Tal, or Bronstein. But I appreciate the positional aspect of chess, tactics from a position of strength, and grind your opponents down in an endgame. Most WC from Steinitz to even Carlson (Karpov 2.0) play like that. No disrespect to Ding the current WC who also play like this, but until he plays Magnus for the championship, who is still active, there will be an asterisk next to his name just like Karpov in the beginning of his reign. Great job John, how about some games from Karpov next.

Interesting game, great to see a Petrosian game. Both Petrosian and Karpov games are not seen that often, their style may not be so appealing to most, yet one can take away a point or two of their games.

Good job! Have you considered covering any games of the great fighter Korchnoi?

I believe in Hungarian just ignore the "z" and pronounce Szabo like Sabo.

[@csikjarudi]

Basically yes, but more precisely the Z is not actually ignored. 'SZ' is a letter in the Hungarian alphabet (a digraph), and it is pronounced just as you said. The letter S is pronounced as the s(h) in shake. Source: I am a Hungarian :)

Good opening. I often transpose from the Indian as black.

Please look up the players of the games you present and how their names are pronounced in their native tongues. You're butchering Hungarian names like no other...
