This looks like a sound sacrifice. However, CM9_R1 does not find it on an AMD 2500 in under three minutes. >The next is: > >Tal Mikhail (LAT) - Larsen Bent (DEN) [B82] >Ch World match (1/2) Bled (Yugoslavia), 10.03.1965 > >[D]rqb2rk1/3nbppp/p2pp3/6P1/1p1BPP2/2NB1Q2/PPP4P/2KR3R w - - 0 16 > >Tal played 16. Nd5! But THIS looks like one of those infamous Tal "sacrifices" that did nothing more than put the fear of God into his opponent. The King prefers many different moves for Black other than the ones that Larsen played: 17...g6 (score of -1.25) instead of 17...f5 (-0.50) 18...Bd8 (score of -1.94) instead of 18...Rf7 (-1.05) 19...Nc5 (score of -1.27) instead of 18...Bb7 (+0.75) Of course, this requires more intense analysis, but the early verdict is that Tal stole another one.... :-) jm
