Match Botvinnik-Tal,Moscow 1960,sixth game
Exactly 41 years ago,on 07/May/1960,the great Tal became World Champion.
Here is the crucial position from the famous sixth game:
[D]2r3k1/pp4bp/3p2p1/3P2p1/3Ppb1n/1qr5/2N1B1PP/PP2QPBK/R1R5 b
In this position Tal played the amazing 21...Nf4!!? Rashness or
stroke of genius? What do you think? What do today's chess programs think?
Tal went on to win the game in 41 moves,after Botvinnik missed a drawing
line starting on move 25. [Botvinnik resigned during the adjournment] JAFM
