Here's a game I used to play over and over before for a few reasons. A rare game of Petrosian as a stable defender and attacker. A nice queen sacrifice ending. A weird but brilliant 42nd move - Qa8.
Even now I'm still wondering how did white went wrong. Petrosian proves that his bad reputation is unearned. Who says Petrosian afraid to give up a piece. And as for the Qa8, all I could think is to enabled 43... Nd3 move to open up the diagonal a8-h1 in case white slays the knight on d3. You can check the game below.
