    Tal went in this tournament as a reporter then became a substitute. He finished the tournament in i think 6th or 7th place, without preparation, against every super grandmasters of that time. In addition to that, he was the only one who cracked this puzzle after popping a smoke while other super grandmasters could only scratch their head. Thats genius.

    I'm a simple man. I see a Tal video, I watch it. Something about the way he plays chess is just mesmerizing. Like it's not a profession for him it's just a hobby. I aspire to be that good at something one day

      Crystal finds it at depth 14 (just a couple of seconds).
      Crystal is a Stockfish fork designed for hard positions and puzzles like this one reducing pruning (its really only good at puzzles, not better than stockfish at regular chess)
      But remember that the puzzle is not correct!

      @@theogoreux8837 It's not a forced mate in 15 like it was designed to be, its a forced mate in 34 (found by engines) because instead of going for the queen (Nf7+) black can just play Kg4
      There are corrected versions of this puzzle where black's knight is placed in either h8 or e5 and that makes it a forced mate in 15 like it was designed to be

    I guess your channel is growing so much compared to the last years beacause the quality of your videos improved a lot und because Chess got more popular cause off Queen´s Gambit and Covid.
    I really hope that you can make this your fulltime job someday. It is just super relaxing and entertaining to watch at the same time.
