Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. h3 Nb8 10. d3 {This is a rather quiet method of play against the Breyer, but Tal soon steers the game into a sharp line.} 10... Nbd7 11. Nbd2 Bb7 12. Nf1 Nc5 13. Bc2 Re8 14. Ng3 Bf8 15. b4 { This sets the stage for a minor skirmish on the queenside.} 15... Ncd7 16. Bb3 a5 17. a3 c5 {17...axb4 18.cxb4 h6 This had been seen in a previous game between Tal and Spassky, where Black emerged from the opening with a good position.} 18. Ng5 d5 {Black counterattacks in the center and is feeling the pressure of White's minor pieces which are trained on f7.} 19. exd5 Nb6 { 19...Nxd5 20.Qh5} 20. bxc5 Nbxd5 { 20...Bxc5 21.N3e4 Bf8 22.d6 Bd5 23.Bxd5 Nbxd5 24.Qb3} 21. d4 h6 {Now Tal displa ys his creative talents with a fine and deep sacrifice, which exploits the pressure he has built up.} 22.

Qe2 Rd8 28. Qxb5 { The bishop at c5 has no comfortable retreat.} 28... Qxe4 29. Qxb7+ Kf8 30. Be3 {Black resigned. If Black captures the bishop at e3, then the f-file will be open after 31.fxe3, and the rook will make its first move of the game a powerful one!} 1-0
