A Touch of Jujitsu

Petrosian was a genius! How else could he cause a player as eminent as Korchnoi to suddenly collapse? He brings about a position where his opponent's pieces rely on each other for support. Then with the skill of a jujitsu expert, he applies pressure at the critical points, and Korchnoi is forced to resign.

I know that puzzle. It's quite funny.

This is a great example of positional play. Petrosian is an excellent player.

Petrosian beat Korchnoi like a kid. A kid of 15. Petrosian was 17.
