A wonderful game with a double exchange sacrifice, plus a Queen sac delivering the coup de grâce. The strategical basis for all of this is the great strength the White Bishop has in e6 as it is working in tandem with the White Queen on the diagonals attacking the Black King, and Black's misplaced Knight on the side of the board. Great game by Petrosian.

Although this opening was originally played by Cavallotti against Salvioli at the Milan tournament of 1881, it takes its name from Adolf Albin who played it against Lasker in New York 1893. The Albin Countergambit is an uncommon defense to the Queen's Gambit. It is no longer played frequently at the master level.
Cool. I read this about Albin:
