I do love bravery over the board especially when it comes from those remembered more for defeat than victory. Pianist and GM Taimanov shows confidence in his calculation skills and plays something that myself, who is always a nervous wreck over the board is too feeble and rubbish to try!
Could you castle long here and leave your queen hanging? Perhaps you could if you can see whose king is in the most danger. At first blush it’s not for the faint-hearted me thinks but spend a few minutes and it’s actually quite playable. That said, instinctively I would discard such moves as being far too risky and look for something more solid instead. An interesting game with a devastating attack it is.
