In this final game of the USSR
Championship, a special stake was riding on the outcome for Mark
Taimanov. A clear victory would gain him a spot in the Interzonals,
leading to the World Championship. In the middle game he goes all
out for a quick kill, catching the white King in the center. It
turns out that the victory isn't there, but in a flurry of
time-trouble complications, he winds up a piece down but six Pawns
up! One of the most exciting games on record. |
