I recently read that a good way to frustrate a stronger opponent is to play a drawish positional game when he just wants to finish you off quickly since he knows he's stronger. Unfortunately I've always been a tactical player myself, so I'm not familiar with positional principles and openings. What would you recommend against 1.e4? The favourite opening for tactical players with the white pieces. I had thought of Petroff's Defence but White can easily dodge that with 2.f4 bring on the kill-or-be-killed positions of the King's Gambit. What would you recommend?

There are many games where players play moves that can not be found in Petrosian game databases. I always try to consult games of players that play as close to Petrosian's style as possible. I would like to know what players are considered to have the same or similar style. Thanks, Ron

Petrosian competed in 10 Olympiads. In those 10 Olympiads he had the incredible score of 79 wins, 50 draws, and only one loss. This record is probably why some referred to him as "Iron Tigran"!
