Petrosian style game

This game made my day. I am pleased with several king moves, and unexpected "positional tactics" that I found in this game. And I used my time very well, not getting in serious time trouble, but also not blitzing out moves when the position clearly needed some thinking to decide about a good move.

Earlier today I played this positional game :

Petrosian would never have played the Trompowsky. Not his style but polar opposite. LOL
I call it "Petrosian style" because of the king moves, and because it was a positional game in my opinion.
See here the amazing unbelievable king move from the Kasparov-Petrosian game :

For the rest : Did you know that Capablanca played King's Gambit with white, and sacrificed his queen a few times (not for a quick checkmate, but for positional gain) ?
... I bet you didn't know that :-)
