{19 Jahre nach dem Gewinn des Weltmeistertitels schien Mikhail Tal die
Schachwelt erneut zu erobern. Das Turnier der Weltelite in Toronto -
doppelrundig und damit den Zufallsfaktor eindämmend - gewann er ohne
Niederlage punktgleich mit Karpov. Beim Interzonenturnier in Riga setzte er
noch eins drauf: 14 aus 17 und 2,5 Punkte Vorsprung auf den Zweiten, Lev
Polugaevsky.} 1. Nf3 c5 2. c4 Nf6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4 Nb4 6. Bc4 {

dieses Feld zwar kurzzeitig, aber selbst in der Schlussstellung steht er
zusammen mit dem Bc1 und dem Pd2 wie jetzt. Die Zweiteilung des Brettes ist
natürlich für das Zusammenwirken der weißen Figuren Gift.} 8. Kf1 fxe6 9. Ng5
