What I love most about Tal’s sacrifices is that he has this knack to allow the opponent a seemingly better position which they cannot refuse, so they willingly go into it believing that they surely the upper hand, and then get lost in the complications. Maybe this is exactly the point, Tal was willing to give up the objectively better position to the opponent if in return he could have a concrete plan and decent chance to confuse the opponent in the complications.
I not agreed “Well, I broke him down not only in this game. It happened that I broke him down for the next many years….. Perhaps he was afraid of my preparation. He was afraid of me in general.” By Viktor Korchnoi in an Interview.
What a lesson on attacking for all to learn from. Tal always makes it seem so logical. Such play I think, comes from deep and prolonged thinking which is the hallmark of a Master, Thanks for the good show!
Even at 2000 level.. It's very hard to play attacking chess as opponents are very great at punishing very small mistakes. It's really mind-blowing how a player at Super GM level play this super complex attacking chess..
When I think of a chess master, I think of an older Tal, like we see in this picture; a mad genius look. Not a 20 something Magnus, on the computer, hanging out with his buddies.
you need to get out of the box. Avoid thinking how your "experience intuition tells you to think on things more logicaly. We are formated on what we live but logic its intemporal. Its not affected by culture or experiences. you are very probably more than 25 maybe more than 30 years old. We all see the great figures, or fiction movies. Fiction movies usually confuse geniality with experience. Old people are more prone to be "experience grandmasters" but geniality actually is greater when you are younger and when have more brain activity. You usually can see kids super smart but their ideas lack experience and observation. Its comon they will have a nice but absurd idea (resulting the lack of experience). When you get the best balance of both you reach your maximun intelectual performance.
Have a very good book about Tal most creative chess games. It's a great fun to follow his Combinatory style, so surprising and bold, as it always is. With his daring sacrifices and without, this World Champion remains unique. Tal made beautiful games imaginative and awesome as few. Thanks to this great Master, for so many hours of learning, thinking and enjoying. He was a chess genius, have no doubt. 🙄😀😉👍🏻
What is often lost to most chess fans is that the attack is based on a simple positional motif: the Karo Cann bad light square bishop. Tal isn't a tactical player as such, he is a positional player who resolved positional themes using dynamic tactical play. Magnus or Karpov, for example would exploit the same positional idea using a more quiter approach but the essential idea is the same.
I can't believe you still have these few subscribers. I've been watching your videos during my lunches and dinners and yours are the best videos on youtube for chess. So many details, mindsets and variations. Wow!
Tal had an extra layer of perception, more than other gm's, however great and experienced they were. Tal could often use that extra layer naturally to confuse his opponent who had regular parameters of perception. Other gm's could also find what Tal found, after long contemplation, but it was not so natural for them over the board.
I suppose all greats make amazing sacrifices in one form or another, and upon examining the positions, one can understand the line of analysis, even though one has to but acknowledge the genius in seeing the line at the board. However, following quite a few of Tal's games, he often is different. There is no clear line, and one sits back and just thinks, 'Why did you play that?' In that, Tal perhaps is unique. However, he also made mistakes which prevented him becoming an established very top player, (though he was for a few months the world champion), but then I often feel that many of his games are the richest of any player. I am glad he played the way he did.
Tal was a genius, a fantastic player! I love her games, of course... Congratulations for your brilliant job, the explanation is clear, and perfect too! Don't stop never please. Cheers from Brazil...
Tal was super unique. He was the best in visualising chess as the battlefield during war. Breaching walls (Pawns), sacrificing bigger pieces to enable easy access to the King, and the list goes on.
I think tals thinking was that an unremovable knight and a deadly bishop stuck on the king are going to compensate the two points down from the exchange, good thinking but im sure the computer could easily refute and at the very least draw the game
Thanks a lot for pointing this out. It seems I made a mistake in my analysis. If Black captures the bishop after Bxg5, White plays Kf6+ instead of Qxg5+ and wins. Thus, after Bxg5 Black must play Qg6 immediately, instead of capturing the bishop. In this case both, the knight and the bishop would be under attack. White can capture on h6, Black captures the knight, white bishop captures the rook on f8, and black plays Bf5 to take under control the c2 square and after the white bishop moves from f8, the black knight can come back into play via c2. White has 3 pawns for a piece in this variation, computer evaluates this position as +0.5.
After Nf6+ Black cannot capture the knight, as the queen is pinned and even if Black could capture, White would recapture with a pawn and create a checkmating threat on g7. So, after Nf6+ Black simply moves the king.
Black doesn't need to defend that at all because Nf6+ is not a threat after Bg7. If we assume black burns a move like b6 and white plays Nf6+, it isn't like the king is trapped and is forced to sac the queen. Instead, Kxg7 as the knight is no longer on h5 to defend the bishop. White just loses a piece.
What a game! How easy it looks and what's more correct on the part of Tal, which could not be said for all his victims who were not correct. But let's take the opponent to the dark and deep forest, where 2+2=5?!😉
@@wolfgangwiesinger9502 Certainly, but the way in which he finds moves through the exchange of pieces and eliminates the defenders of the king and reaches an undefended position and thus wins is brilliant!
Everyone touts bobby fischer, Mikhail Tal is brilliant, Beautiful and imaginative and wild in a sense of beauty. Bobby Fischer is basic, and does not compare.
You went over the opening moves much too quickly for me. I didn't have time to realise what was going on before the position had already changed again.
Holy hell. I tried translating this guys english into russian in my mind. Like, what are they struggling to say. I was unsucessfull. This guy's russian is equally boring. Maybe they are Polish, Idk. It's like a parody. Of chess, of english, of russian, of all the chess players. You, see, Tal, moves ,his bishop, to, capture the, defender of the kingside, after which the, checkmate, is ,inevitable,. Yea, we kinda all see that, except we got mesmerized by this guy's weird delivery. (I'm somehow sure he got a weird intonation/accent speaking russian)
Today's chess would be so much more enjoyable to watch if they followed in Tal's footsteps. First 30 moves of theory is just plane boring, sorry but it's the truth

Thanks for this gsme - Tal always been one of my favourite players.

Amazing. We think of Tal as the great attacker but this videos shows how one defensive move (by the pawn) can make a new attack possible.
Tal, the MONSTER. Simply, the GOAT. 😁😁❤❤
Very nice analysis. Congratulations !!

at 6:15, bishop e7 followed by knight f6 is also a great option

@12:18 "And after the queen moves away, to g7 for example,..."
It is actually the only square queen can move without being captured.
Very informative commentary, thanks
My pleasure
nice to see the channel growing
Excellent analysis this is expecting from you sir do more different famous players
There is a rank above a grand master called Magician. That explains Tal well. Hail Tal !!!
Tal for ever❤❤❤❤❤
Tal took his opponent into the dark abyss where his opponent found himself completely surrounded by nothing but defeat.
Earlier Tal was a brilliant, creative attacking virtuoso, the like of which we'll never see again.
Brilliant explanation
Tal's Magic is ferry good .. I like this game..👍
Nicely done, thanks
My pleasure.
Close to a hundred straight victories withouta loss keeps me scraching my head. How on Earth can that of been done.

When the queen shows up to defend it's always a liability!
sorcerer from Riga, Tal...amazing game
He knew his own chess mind very well, but also knew his opponents chess mind or so it seemed. Scary either way.
Brilliant moves of Tal. During of his era. .draw game isn't acceptable

magician Tal !
Bruh idc what anyone says
Tal was the most genious player ever
He should have continued with pawn f5
Who is best Michealtal,Morphy,magnuscarleson,Kasparov,karpov,nehemya.
Please answer sir
I'm not sure it's possible to give a definite answer to your question, sir. I think it's a matter of taste and what one values the most in chess.
What an attack..
whats wrong with Nf6+ at 5:48? Qxf6 Qxf6 Nc2..
After Nf6+ Black cannot capture the knight, as the queen is pinned and even if Black could capture, White would recapture with a pawn and create a checkmating threat on g7. So, after Nf6+ Black simply moves the king.
If your other videos are as good ss this one im sticking around.
It is called enjoy process not result)
Nice,,game,,👍
Too bad Misha drank and smoked so much. It would have been amazing to have him around a long time to play more masterpiece games.
Tal took a pound of Flesch.
he does look very close to my imagination of shylock
Wow!
Instead of the quiet pawn I would've played the bishop on G7 followed by a knight on F6 , taking the blacks queen... Think about it... :)
Black doesn't need to defend that at all because Nf6+ is not a threat after Bg7. If we assume black burns a move like b6 and white plays Nf6+, it isn't like the king is trapped and is forced to sac the queen. Instead, Kxg7 as the knight is no longer on h5 to defend the bishop. White just loses a piece.
Beware of Tal's victims! )))

@@wolfgangwiesinger9502yeah and i think your rating is 500?
At minute 6:54 why can't the king defend G6?
The only way the king can defend g6 is Kf7, but it leads to checkmate in 2 - Qh7+ and Qe7#.
We sure miss Misha
Only Tal can make knight on H column usefull

Im sorry but how can he play ...Bb7 at 9:35 when the b pawn is still there? Its clearly not the same move in the commentary and in the video
Instead of Qf5, Tal suggests b6, followed by Bb7.

haha i thought the move was something like a3
