Petrosian WAS a Python. That book got it right. He is not fancy or flashy. He doesn't kill you with a lightning bolt like Fischer. He plays solid precise chess, just cuddles up to you and the next thing you know you are strangled. 😮
Beautiful game and great analysis. It makes me appreciate all the more Fischer's defeat of Petrosian on his way to the world championship. Petrosian was truly a brilliant player.

Well stated! I thought the same thing. You must be a genius! :^)
And YOU must be an excellent judge of people! 😁
And then his entire position falls apart like a house of cards
What a great line to describe what happened in this game

Your videos are great, thank you
Phew glad I'm early. Love me some python style chess!
Great game with Tal subtle magic. Thanks for the video
At 5:34 what Petrosian is doing is threatening to skewer the queen. That's why Platz blocked the bishop with the knight
thank you so much
A satisfying game unless, of course, your name is Platz. Thank you for the tour and deft instruction.
Back then Chess was beautiful
White should have taken immediately on e5 and then have the queens traded! This would have costed Petrosian his castleing rights!
Zamish kings Indian? Samisch is the actual name. Named after the Great player
It's actually Sämisch.
Hans? He was a cheater for sure
