I believe I have it now. It is a good exercise to try to cough up a replayed game "from scratch".
Originally posted by heinzkatI think that last tactic (Qh8+/Nf7+) actually appeared in a Spassky-Petrosian game?! Maybe GP or someone else can confirm this?
A well-played and well-annotated game by D.T.; with many diagrams, I think it's a good method (I have not used a real board for it). However now when trying to replay it, I cannot recall at what exact moment Black played the slightly unhandy move Na5... (because I only have clicked through it a few times, and did not make the moves myself)

Black Beetle, just [b] copy the link greenpawn provided

and then paste it into your address bar and click Go. It definitely works as I've just checked it : )[/b]
Originally posted by heinzkatThat certainly looks like the game. Could've sworn Spassky was involved?! Oh well, old man's memory!
Yes (not sure of the exact players) but here it is only an exchange. In the game you are referring to, it was led in quite handily by the White player so that he won a full piece.
Google says one option is Petrosian - Simagin, Moscow 1956.

Originally posted by greenpawn34Can't be arsed to look it up but I bet it was Euwe.While he was a good tactician he was often blind to his opponents tactical possibilities.Always found that a rather odd shortcoming for a player of his stature.
Hi
These other posts about the Knigt fork have just apppeared
whilst I was writing the previous post.
Possible universal blind spot here involving Knight forks
Now...was it Alekhine or was it Euwe.....?
