White finally breaks through. See my commentary on move 48. |

50... Bf6
|
Black chose another defense. It's still insufficient. Petrosian plays very accurately and gives no more second chances. |

51. Rc6c8 Rad7

51...Ra8 doesn't work either after 52. R8c7 Bg7 53. Nc5 Qh6 54. Qg2 Rd6 55. Rh1 Qf6 56. Nd7+ Rxd7 57. Rxd7 and with an exchange up and very active pieces, Black can't last much longer. |

52. Nc5
|
The Knight finally comes to the c5 square and what a great moment for it. |

|
52... b3+
|
A spite check but a harmless one. |

53. Kxb3 Rd7d6 54. f5
|
A double attack, the Rd6 isn't defended, the Rd8 is pinned. |

Black resigned. After 55...Qxf5 56. Nd7+ wins a full Rook. A remarkable game by Petrosian. |
