Attack is the best form of defense Game-2

This is the second game in this series: We learnt that it is not just the counterattacking side who may go wrong. In the following game between Taimanov and Larsen we will study that without great risk of being wrong we can name the factors by which Larsen was guided. Firstly, after 1.. g5 he slightly assumed that such a turn of events would be extremely unexpected for white. Secondly, from the calm waters of positional pressure in the centre, White has to plunge into deep complications where the probability of mistake increases many times.
