Perhaps it was a slow rapid chess event :). Seriously, I have no idea why Axon
produced that... It was a G/25 min event with 3 IMs and Geniss Axon, a double
round robin. About Nd4: my gut feeling tells me that it is a great move, and I
guess that Tal would go along with that. In any case it was a good move, I am
sure and there are logical grounds for it: opening up the e-file, getting
control of the c6 square, weak black pawn at f5, weaving a dangerous net around
the black king, etc.
Rgds,
