This match, which I propose the analysis, was played against Kasparov in 1982 by nineteen year old "Iron Tigran", the great Petrosian, who was then 62 years and died there two years. After only three years instead, in November 1985, Garry Kasparov became world champion after a grueling series of matches against Karpov, the defending champion.
I chose this game because I find it useful for close study of the repertoire of white, especially for the player who prefers 1.d4, but not just for him. This is a Bogo-Indian Defense in which the themes of the attack on the traditional side of Donna from the White can be highlighted and detailed. I hope you can easily follow the unfolding of the variants considered and that the analysis will be clear. Although at times the matches between the champions may seem quite cryptic, in this case beauty and power of the game Kasparov is combined with the clarity of his game plan and a strong strategic content that I wanted to emphasize with my notes. One game to treasure. Good study and have fun.
