Hi all

I recommend the following annotation to be checked out and feedback given to the game annotator who is: jsdhl1

Game quotation:

E70: King's Indian: Miscellaneous lines with 4 e4, including 5 Nge2 and 5 Bd3 0–0 6 Nge2

Game introduction:

Another game that is considered an excellent example of prophylactic play. This game was played in the 1961 USSR Championships between Petrosian and Gufeld. Petriosian has always been considered one of the most prolific players of prophylactic technique, and in this game a young Gufeld is the poor recipient! Once again the computer disagrees with certain aspects of the analysis in the book the game is described in (Positional Play, analysis by Mark Dvoretsky) but it agrees that Petrosian simply outplays Gufeld.

Game conclusions:

An excellent example of prophylaxis by Petrosian. The book and computer analysis were mostly disparate but I do not believe that the computer analysis showed any errors in Petrosians strategy or thinking.

Best wishes
Duke of Wellington
