Hi folks,

Another one of my all time favorite King's Indian Attack games, this time with Petrosian parting ways with his queen.

I think he did, but I can't find it in any of my KIA books (all of which have the game as a sample or in the notes), so I must have read that in another book.

I think he may have just played the rook first because being "on the clock" heightens your danger sense (or should- mine it intermittent at best).
