He failed to take advantage of that move. I guess Misha Tal would have smashed Bronstein in the position after 11...Bg8?. Yes, black picks up a pawn after 13.Bxf7 but black still has something up his sleeve: [Event "Moscow-ch"] [Site "Moscow"] [Date "1950.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Ravinsky, Grigory Ionovich"] [Black "Petrosian, Tigran V"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [ECO "B18"] [PlyCount "55"] [EventDate "1950.??.??"] 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h6 7. Nh3 Nd7 8. Nf4 Bh7 9. Bc4 Ngf6 10. O-O Qc7 11. Re1 Nb6 12. Bb3 O-O-O 13. Bxf7 e5 14. Be6+ Kb8 15. Nd3 Rxd4 16. Be3 Rd8 17. Qe2 e4 18. Nc5 Bxc5 19.
