Bent Larsen the Danish chess grandmaster known for his imaginative and unorthodox style of play played against Tigran Petrosian a Soviet-Armenian chess grandmaster and World Chess Champion from 1963 to 1969. He was nicknamed "Iron Tigran" due to his almost-impenetrable defensive playing style, which emphasized safety above all else which makes Larsen's Queen Sac all the more Epic in this fascinating game from 1966!
