This Week's ChessBase Show: Tal-Panno
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1160941789.shtml


   Had all the Slavs and Semi-Slavs you can stand? Our game this week is
   deeply rooted in the e-pawn tradition: the completely insane Closed
   Ruy Lopez between the beloved former world champion Mikhail Tal and
   Argentinian GM Oscar Panno, from the 1958 Interzonal in Portoroz.
   The game is mind-boggling, jaw-dropping and altogether incredible, as
   Tal creates unbelievable complications and somehow maintains the
   initiative for over 30 moves (starting at move 14) before Panno
   cracked. In short, a typical Tal game!
   The game made a HUGE impression on me when I was a kid, and I hope it
   will for you, too, when we cover it this Monday night at 9 pm ET.
   Instructions on watching this must-see game on the Playchess server -
   free! - are [1]here, while a list of games covered in previous shows
   ([2]accessible in the archives) is [3]here.
