If Terry finds a win for White he will have improved on Kasparov's analysis!

I still am not 100% sure that White has totally nothing after this line, but it
appears theoreticians poured over the game for months at the time back in the
sixties! It was discussed on CSS-forum a while back. Pro Deo Vulcan 1.1 Q1 -
Tactical Engine will play the sacrifice by the way but 18.Rde1 does not appear
in the PV. Shredder 9 nor any other program I think will play the
-bluff?-sacrifice, 16.Ne2 is thought to be the best reply. Fritz 8 reportedly
does not see g6, so against some programs it might work!

Shredder's analysis after 16.Nd5 exd5 17.exd5:

17...g6 18.Rde1 Bd8 19.Qh3 Ne5 20.Qh6 Bb6 21.Bxe5 dxe5 22.fxe5 Qa7 23.Rhf1 Bf2
24.Re2 Be3+ 25.Kb1 Bg4 26.Ree1 Bh5 -+

Google bringt einige Suchtreffer, darunter folgendes Zitat:

"Analysts looked at this position for months after, and concluded that g6 was
probably black's best defensive resource here."

Tja, 1965 hatte man noch keinen Shredder 9  damit wärs schneller gegangen.

Das Opfer wird häufig als positionell, spekulativ oder sogar als Bluff
beschrieben.

Hier gibt Dennis Monokroussos einige Varianten inkl. Bezugnahme auf Kasparov's
Werk Great Predecessors an, wo diese Partie also offenbar auch behandelt wurde:

Hallo Joachim!

In Kasparovs Buch "Meine große Vorgänger, Band II" bezeichnet Garry 17...g6! als
einzige Widerlegung des Opfers Sd5.
Erstaunlich, dass die Möglichkeit h4-h5 nichts für Weiß danach bringt. (Ich habe
17...g6 nicht gesehen und Fritz 8 auch nicht!).

Shredders obige Variante 17...g6 18.Tde1! (am stärksten - Kasparov) Ld8 19.Dh3
Se5! 20.Dh6 Lb6! empfielt Garry als vorteilhaft für Schwarz. Diese Widerlegung
wurde erst 2000 gefunden.

Nichtsdestotrotz schreibt Garry:
"Tal stellte in dieser Partie wieder Probleme, die nach ihrem Schwierigkeitsgrad
vorne als die damalige Zeit waren."
Und noch: "Hätte anstatt Larsen ein moderner GM seines Niveaus gespielt,
meinetwegen Leko, ist es unklar, ob er alle Probleme nach Sd5?! lösen könnte".

Als Aufgabe ist diese Stellung ungeeignet.

Gruß,
Michael
