Annotated by far1ey (1200): I have decided to annotate this game due to its important ending which is critical for many players to look at as it contains some valuable chess play. It was played between Tigran Petrosian and Victor Korchnoi in the 1977 Candidates Match and was a very anticipated match with the aggresive style of Korchnoi against Petrosian's defensive/positional play. However, in this game the risky opening… |

Black counters the threat nicely, and ends up picking up a piece for three pawns. The endgame took some work, but white's pawns were… |

Blacks plan in d4 openings is usually to advance the c-pawn to break apart whites potencially crushing centre. White developes his knight, this knight belongs on the f3… |
