Giving comments of this game in weekly chess newspaper “64”, the ex-world champion Tigran Petrosian, who also played in the tournament Vinkovci, wrote:  “It seems to me that in that moment Larsen caught some duality of Taimanov’s thoughts. And - yes, in practical games it often occurs that you want to win but in the same time you can not realize whether you are ready to get into a fight for a point right from the first moves. Tuned to play with “a draw in pocket”, Taimanov unexpectedly embarked on a warpath.” war einfacher und stärker.

Tatsächlich behielte Weiß nach dem natürlichen 14...Td8 15.0-0 d4 16.Sxd4 Sxd4 17.exd4 Txd4 18.Lg3 etwas Druck.  Der Ex-Weltmeister Tigran Petrosian, der auch am Turnier in Vinkovci teilnahm, kommentierte diese Partie in der Schachzeitschrift "64": "Es scheint mir, dass Larsen in diesem Moment eine gewisse Dualität in Taimanovs Gedanken erfasst hat. Und - ja, in praktischen Partien kommt es oft vor, dass man gewinnen will, aber gleichzeitig nicht erkennen kann, ob man bereit ist, gleich in den ersten Zügen in einen Kampf um einen Punkt einzusteigen.
