Hi does anyone know of any famous games with extraordinary king walks, i seem to recall a Tal game and a Nigel Short game as well as a game that was played by two relatively unknown players in British India by some emissary or other, but i am unable to trace them at the moment. Any help would be most appreciated - thanks in advance Robbie.

I'm not sure if this is the type of king walk you were looking for, but extraordinary nonetheless.
