Index to Petrosian's Exchange Sacrifice

Index to Petrosian's Exchange Sacrifice:

Petrosian's examples were repeated by other authors in other works. The games against Reshevsky, Tal, Gligoric, and Portisch were used in Kasparov's chapter on Petrosian in Predecessors III (see section 'Favorite Sacrifice'). The same games plus the game against Troianescu were used in Watson's 'Exchange Sacrifice' chapter in Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy (see Watson's Example Exchange Sacs for the full list).

  3. Hi phorku - Thanks very much for flagging both games. Do you have any more chess cartoons to share? The Fischer cartoon was great. - Mark
