Famous and shocking game where Vishy Anand loses in 6 moves. But there is interesting story behind Anand Zapata 1988 game. One year earlier this variation was played by other grandmasters as a novelty but it's possible that it was arranged draw. We probably shouldn't consider it as a Petrov Defense trap but it's definitely one of the greatest chess videos for beginners. Why? Because Anand learned from it a lot, he became World Champion but also one of the best opening experts in chess. Very impressive career. And back to the game, Petrov Defense for white with 5. Nc3 is much more interesting and as you see it can become one of your chess opening tricks to win fast.
