(Viewed from Black’s side of the board)

Surely Petrosian couldn’t have thought that by sacrificing the pawn he would trap the queen; there is after all plenty of time for the queen to retreat.

34. ….. f5

35. Re1 g4 The line of retreat is blocked...

36. hxg4 fxg4 …and suddenly the white queen looks very lonely.

All of Black's pieces are able to assault the white king’s position while White’s rooks are mere spectators.

37. f3 gxf3

38. Nxf3 Rh7 The focus of attention has now shifted from attacking the king to trying to trap the queen. There aren’t too many safe squares available!

39. Qe5 Qc8

40. Qf4 Rf8

41. Qe5 Rf5 The web finally closes on the queen and White resigns.
