Hey, everyone.
I came across this gem from chessgames.com this morning. Of course,
some may accuse us who enjoy playing the black side of the Caro-Kann
of being stodgy and unimpressive. Well, this game between a young
Bobby Fischer and Petrosian will blow that myth out of the water. The
brilliancy of 8....d4 and subsequent follow-up moves shows how fluid
and fighting the Caro can be when played well.
The game follows my signature. Enjoy!
