6.  Be2                   Nbd7

Position look:  An interesting branch chosen by Tal, one of the fiercest attacking players in the history of recorded chess; so, what is Tal up to with this Nbd7 move?

Position look:  So, we have two great attacking players positioning for the battle to come.  Students, please provide your thoughts and ideas for both sides here.

13.  Nf5                 g6

Position look:  White and Black have one minor to develop before we’re into a middle game.  White has provoked Black with the Nf5 move to REACT.  When many tactical possibilities exist on the board and development is not yet completed, usually the advantage resides with the PROACTIVE or attacking player; which happens to be the case in this very beautiful game, I’d opine even, that Black is already lost in this position!

16.  Bg2                 Bg7

Position look:  Black although better developed, is still in a reactionary ‘mode’.  Students, how should White continue (hint:  the REACT vs PROACTIVE argument previously discussed)

18.  Nd5                Qd8

19.  Qf2                 Nf4

20.  Bxf4               exf4

Position look:  White attacking initiative has thus far paid off; Black is pushed back, i.e. Queen pulled back.  Students, how should White proceed?

21.  e5!                 Bxe5

22.  Re1                f6

Position look:  White is now ready for the final steps of this game…students, how should White proceed?
