Tigran Petrosian In Mikhail Tal’s Clothing

Tigran Petrosian who usually plays solid positional chess, generally without brilliant effects, in this famous chess game demonstrates that he can also play aggressively when the need arises. By making use of his opponent’s inaccuracy on move 5, he first advances on the queenside and then launches an attack on the kingside. In this game the king of exchange sacrifices “Iron Tigran” sacrifices both rooks and forces his opponent to resign! Paul Keres entitled this game “Petrosian in Tal’s clothing”.
