Excellent Dutch footage from the opening of the 1956 Candidates tournament in Amsterdam. Three future world champions among the ten participants (Smyslov, Petrosian, and Spassky). Or, in other words, a lot of "famous legends."

17.Bxf4! [White exchanges the opponent's active piece.]

17...Rxf4 18.Rfe1 [The following continuation would have been better:]

[¹18.Nfd2! Nf8 (18...c5! 19.Qxe6 cxd4 20.g3! △f4 20...Rf5 21.f4 Nc5 22.Nxc5 Bxc5 23.Qc4±) 19.Qe3!‚ g5 20.g3 Rf7 21.Nc4! △Ncd6 21...Ng6 22.Ncd6 Bxd6 23.Nxd6±]

18...Nf8 19.Qg3 Rf5 20.Rad1?! [White reduces his advantage with the dubious moves. This move was unnecessary and it would have been better to seize more space with:]

[¹20.h4! Qd5 21.Nc3 Qc4 22.Rad1+/=]
