The initial sacrifice 14.Qg3!? (!! ,?! ,?) Is very difficult to assess. In many lines, such as 17...Qxb2 18.Nf4 Qa3 19.Rae1, black has extreme difficulties consolidating, and it's very hard to ascertain the exact amount of compensation, even with Fritz. The move 17...f6? 18...Rf7?! The brilliant 19.exf6!! Unfortunately Tal then makes a serious error with 20.Bc4? ) 20...Bf8 21.Rae1 d6 22.Qxh5 and black is lost due to the threats of Bc4 and Ng6. After 20.Bc4? 24.Re7! However, Vooremaa finally came unstuck with 25...Qd5?
