Legendary game · 1961
The safest player alive sacs his QUEEN
Petrosian vs Pachman — Bled 1961 · King's Indian Attack (A04)
Pachman
Petrosian
Bled, nineteen sixty-one. Tigran Petrosian — the most careful, most solid player of his generation — sees a forced win. And it starts by giving away his queen for nothing but a bishop. I'll freeze the board right before it: your job is to find the sacrifice AND the quiet move that makes it work.
The board stops before the key move — you'll have to find it yourself.
