"If your opponent has an exposed king it is frequently worth sacrificing a pawn to be able to bring your rooks into the game, especially if your opponent's rooks are languishing in the corner..."

Leipzig 1960. Both “Viktor the Terrible” and “Robert II” made a significant contribution to the success of their teams. 10.5 (13) and 12 (15) - great results! A personal meeting? Draw!
