		Korchnoi's and Larsen's victories were impressive under ordinary circumstances, but did not come close to matching Fischer's 6-0 defeat of Taimanov.
		On his 46th move he chose to take a poisoned pawn with his rook -- poisoned because Fischer had merely to move his queen to put Taimanov's king in check and simultaneously bear on the rook.
