WOW Egor !, Thanks for admitting this is the best game you have ever seen! I try to see all of Tal's games but I have Never seen this one before !!! I agree with you 100% that this is the most remarkable game I have ever seen as well. And how could he play this well when they threw in a ringer on poor Tal !!! During this simultaneous exhibition match too. !!!!! That was very sneaky of them. Tal is my hero without a doubt.!!! R.J.
I found that rook sacrifice more impressive because the initial gain was so small and we still had half of the game ahead. At that point even Tal could not have calculated all of this, so it must have been intuition (or, you know, magic)
Everyone talks about who the greatest player is/was... I must say, that I am really impressed with Tal's sacrificing masterpieces! I find myself now looking for such glory. I have been successful in shortening some games from the standard 45+ moves, into the lower 20's !!!
No hate intended to any player, but Tal is one of the major reasons for every chess TH-camrs success. Agadmator putting Tal on display like wallpaper, Suren covering numerous games of him, and other channels analysing his games.
5:38 After the rook move g8 queen can directly take the knight ..queen not taken bcz of mate rook h7 black move can play any move then queen h6 forcing to take the queen through g7 pawn then rook h7 mate
What amazes me the most about this game, is that so many people were actually so sure that Tal missed a mate in 2, that they proceeded to write about it in the comments 😮 That is crazy!
Hello sir igor,big fan here,help me clear my mind At 5:36,why not 1.Qxf6? If 1... gxf6 then 2. rh7# If 1...cxd6 then 2.Qh6+, Forcing 2...gxh6 then 3.Rh7# again If 1.Qxf6 1...Rde8, 2.Qe5/e6 And considering white has 2 pawns on 6th rank,white is instantly better,so why did tal play 1.dxc7
He already saw that, if he took the knight then the black rook would have took on d6, taking out most of Tal's counter-attack. So he decided to took the pawn and after sacrificed the queen just to take that knight as you said, but before it was not possible without losing the possibility of attack.
What is the setup you are using on your computer here? I am using lucas chess with stockfish 15.1. I want to pull up a bar that shows me what the amateurs play at a given point or what the professionals play like you do in some of your videos. How do I do that?
In 6:41 Tal Played Be4 which is actually a miss because white could have played qh6+!! And white is forced to play gxh6 then rh7# ( By 6:41 I mean 6:41 min into the video not the time).
From the first weird sacrifice that Tal does in any game to start his magic, as that game continues for 10 or more moves, there is a constant question in the mind "Did Tal really saw or calculate all this through and how can he??!!! "
6:33 Here's another game winning sacrifice tal would have missed... Queen to h6 check. (Black have to take with the pawn there's no other way king traped) Then after the pawn moves, Rook to h7 checkmate with the help of bishop.
Looks like it to me, can't recapture due to Rh7# but it's possible there is some tactics I'm not able to see, though after Qxf6, Qh6+ and forced mate next move looks unstoppable to me, I can't see any response by black. Edit: So I think the response actually is Rde8 pinning White's rook, which I missed first time around, still obviously picks up the knight for White but avoids mate on Black, at least perhaps for a few moves.
@@sgtnubbings6501After Rde8, Qg6 puts the black king in a mating net, and it can’t escape. The best response seems to be Rxd6, because after Qf5 Rh6 Qxf4 Rh7, black employs some sort of cocoon defence and is paralysed, and white tries to achieve some sort of backrank checkmate with Qf7 and Re8. The best black can do is sacrifice the queen to deflect white’s queen, and win the rook, resulting in white being up a queen and bishop for two rooks.
No, he sacrificed one queen four times, or sacrificed his queen two moves in a row twice, which is already impressive. If he'd sacrificed two queens four times, that would make eight queen sacrifices, which would be difficult even for Tal!
Good game, good commentary. However, I can't agree that queens offered and not taken are a sacrifice, it's offering a sacrifice, making the game a bit less spectacular than advertised. And in one case, it was hardly a real offered sacrifice, and black would have lost. Call it 2.5 queen sacrifices I guess.

Haha just sliding in with the "I know you're not impressed because many of you guys like to give up your rook for no reason"
And I took that personally - Michael Jordan
That actually cought me of guard, i had to lough so much😂

how much confidence you must have to sacrifice your queens that many times, wow, respect, great video, man
I found that rook sacrifice more impressive because the initial gain was so small and we still had half of the game ahead. At that point even Tal could not have calculated all of this, so it must have been intuition (or, you know, magic)
yeah that was off putting, really brilliant how he likes to exchange his pieces for something subtle like positional advantage.@@Puschit1
Tal's sacrifices were so effective you'd think opponents would have been immediately suspicious and steered clear when he used the tactic.
Wow the Tal games you covered are incredible.
Thanks!

exactly i also instantly
Hmm am I missing something? At 6:50 why can’t white play QH6+? Only move gxh6 then re-h7# supported by the c2 bishop
i was thinking about that too...did he miss that or the notation has some move errros... i donno
Rook is pinned 😂
@@burNinggg3492 the rook is pinned to the king. He can't move to deliver checkmate.
Wow, that was stunning, and in a simultaneous game!
If Tal sacrificed queen to you it means u r already lost the game.
Ha Ha!
Best answer 👏 👌 🙌 ❤️ 👍
What amazes me the most about this game, is that so many people were actually so sure that Tal missed a mate in 2, that they proceeded to write about it in the comments 😮 That is crazy!
Fantastic. So funny... Igor as stand-up comic!
Perhaps it was missed.
At 6.48 of this video, Qh6 Check was mate in two by the White.
No because after pawn takes h6 ,Rh1 is not possible as it is pinned
At 6:40
What about queen h6 check here?
It leads to mate in two
Rook is pinned😂
Mikhail Tal sacrifices the queen.
Me: packs luggage and heads back to the airport.
Hello igor can you make a video to play against scotch gambit
At 6:45 , there was just a mate in 2 moves . 1st -Qh6 check (pawn capture is forced) . Then finally 2nd move Rh7 is checkmate
The rook is pinned
mikhal: i'm threating to cast revive magic.
5:04 Thats feels like a personal attack
You noticed bro
06:29 Qh6+, force move pawn takes, then mate with rh7#
Wrong. You can't play Rh7, it's pinned.
Love your videos. I have been watching for a while. Do you have any material or online teaching.
Yes, you can find it here.

Отличное видео, прекрасная партия. Спасибо за интересный разбор.
Hello sir igor,big fan here,help me clear my mind
At 5:36,why not 1.Qxf6?
If 1... gxf6 then 2. rh7#
If 1...cxd6 then 2.Qh6+,
Forcing 2...gxh6 then 3.Rh7# again
If 1.Qxf6 1...Rde8,
2.Qe5/e6
And considering white has 2 pawns on 6th rank,white is instantly better,so why did tal play 1.dxc7
He already saw that, if he took the knight then the black rook would have took on d6, taking out most of Tal's counter-attack. So he decided to took the pawn and after sacrificed the queen just to take that knight as you said, but before it was not possible without losing the possibility of attack.
Please make more videos of game played by tal.
5:38
Why didn’t Tal do Qxf6 which he did eventually couple of moves later?
I don't get the reason.
Can anyone explain?
Maybe to create a pass pawn which promotes on a light square cause he had light square bishop
Rxd6
At 6:40 can white not play QH6+, H6x, Rh7#???
Cuz the rook is pinned to the king, hence it fails
in this 6:35 position. does'nt tal have force checkmade in two. Qh6+ followed by Rh7
Rook on e7 is pinned he cannot move it
Am I missing something? At 6:49, can't Tal play Qh6+? Black is forced to take gxh6, which results in Rh7#? I can't see how black can avoid mate.
Rook is pinned to the king

In 6:41 Tal Played Be4 which is actually a miss because white could have played qh6+!! And white is forced to play gxh6 then rh7# ( By 6:41 I mean 6:41 min into the video not the time).
no lol the rook is pinned to the king
Bro really said he is better than tal 😂😂
6:45 Qh6+ looks like a mate in two. Am I missing something?
Yes. The rook can't deliver a checkmate, because it's pinned.
There is a mandatory two move’s checkmate that tal missed or may be he deliberately missed it?!!!
The rook on E7 is pinned to the king, so mate isn't possible.
From the first weird sacrifice that Tal does in any game to start his magic, as that game continues for 10 or more moves, there is a constant question in the mind "Did Tal really saw or calculate all this through and how can he??!!! "
6:48 queen to h6 pawn has to take then rook to h7 mate
5:33 what about Qxf6, f6, Rh7#?
Brilliant👍❤
thank you soo much
Nice video, but all this variationes were I think very simple, so understandable even for some so weak chess player like myself. Thank for this video.
Bishop c2 to e4 why not queen hy check 6:54
Because the rook is pinned to the king. He won't be able to deliver checkmate.
Great game! Thanks
Ah! Only the too few are gems like Tal can reveal as well as manifest the real Beauty and Glory of Chess. Gracias.
I really love your contents. Best TH-cam channel
Thank you so much 😀
Even Fisher had to accept some help defeating Tal. The cancer did the job.
Wonderful. Thank you so much for this. Mikhail Tal is my chess hero (sorry to break it to you 😊).
😊
4:55 Rookh
In 6:49 why did Tal throw a check on h6? I don't understand
that would failed because of rook pinned to king
Tal Never Cares -igor Smirnov
4:51 not a rook, but "THE ROOKkK..!!"
That was a crazy game
@6:47 - Am I crazy or is Qh6 a forced checkmate? Black has to recapture with the pawn, forcing Re7#
@vinsanity982 you are not crazy. After Qh6 black plays gxhg and white plays Rh7 mate not Re7 mate.
@4:00 Why didn’t he take the rook with check without the rook move?
Coz of pawn
Just the title made me laugh! What a bloke!❤
6:21 queen h6 check pawn takes queen (only legal move )then rook to h7 mate
(am i wrong ?)
The roook is pinned
Amount of people saying Qh6 is mate in 2 is just terrifying 💀
At 6:31. Qh6 leads to mate
No bc after pawn takes the rook is pin and cant move
Ur rook is pinned
Tal is a enemy of Queen
Holy shit..I never in my entire life see something like this..4 times sacrificing queen 😅😅😅...Tal is the greatest chess player of all time..👍👍👍👍👍👍
Someone needs to make bio-pic movie about Tal's life.
The guy was something special
Tal,is/was marshal in chess player,God gifted
My all time favorite, Mikhail Tal
6:33
Here's another game winning sacrifice tal would have missed...
Queen to h6 check.
(Black have to take with the pawn there's no other way king traped)
Then after the pawn moves, Rook to h7 checkmate with the help of bishop.
But rook is pinned
@@ayushxupadhya1739 sorry..
800 elo me thinking tal didn't notice when it was me who didn't notice....
More respect to my chess idol...
@@Valkyrieee5 haha np mate.. 🥂 cheers
at 6:53 tal missed Qh6 to force mate after Rh7
rook is pinned you cant move took to deliver mate
I'm quite surprised that no one saw Tal missing Qf6, at 5,36, followed by Qh6 or Rh7, if the queen sacrificed had been accepted.
😂i always wonder when ❤Tal's always survive when he sacrifice from another sacrifice and looking for another sacrife and then when the game😂😂😂😂
hahaha, loved the GothamChess impersonation.
5:34 Isn’t the knight just free here?
Looks like it to me, can't recapture due to Rh7# but it's possible there is some tactics I'm not able to see, though after Qxf6, Qh6+ and forced mate next move looks unstoppable to me, I can't see any response by black.
Edit: So I think the response actually is Rde8 pinning White's rook, which I missed first time around, still obviously picks up the knight for White but avoids mate on Black, at least perhaps for a few moves.
I was going to write this. Queen can't be taken back because of Rh7#.
@@sgtnubbings6501After Rde8, Qg6 puts the black king in a mating net, and it can’t escape.
The best response seems to be Rxd6, because after Qf5 Rh6 Qxf4 Rh7, black employs some sort of cocoon defence and is paralysed, and white tries to achieve some sort of backrank checkmate with Qf7 and Re8. The best black can do is sacrifice the queen to deflect white’s queen, and win the rook, resulting in white being up a queen and bishop for two rooks.
What a game it is 🙏
K.Kumar.
6:47 there wasnt a mate in two here? Qh6+ gxh6 Rh7#
The Levy Rosman reference 😂😂
beautifull game 😊😊
It's called the Bong Cloud attack because it's certainly not a defence.
6:52 eeeeeeh queen H6 is forced mat in 1...why the hell did mikhail play bishop to e4???
Rook is pinned 😂
Legendary.
Can you please tel me, who was the opponent?
Why you does not participate at global chess tournament I know you are the best and we support us
Awesome game!
Indeed!
6:45 Qxh6 pawn has to take and then Rxh6 mate?
Rook is pinned😂
@@crbgaming6683 lol did you just replied to my 1yo comment
Pure magic.
No, he sacrificed one queen four times, or sacrificed his queen two moves in a row twice, which is already impressive. If he'd sacrificed two queens four times, that would make eight queen sacrifices, which would be difficult even for Tal!
he could have also played Queen to h6, check to the king and then pawn takes on queen h6 and then rook to h7 mate
My bad the rook is pinned
Super ❤
Таль - лучший!
Am I getting ahead of myself or Tal actually missed forced mate in 2, in this position 06:46
nevermind, the rook is pinned.
Mind blowing !!
AMAZING GAME!
This is nothing. Tal once sacrificed nine pawns for an attack
Wow! My best guess is that Tal was seriously drunk. It's a crazy game.
Fantastic
Tal is my favorite
After Re8 I don't understand Be4.
I think Qh6 is a forced Mate: gxh6 Rh7
Rh7 is impossible. The rook is pinned to the king on the e file.
Good game, good commentary. However, I can't agree that queens offered and not taken are a sacrifice, it's offering a sacrifice, making the game a bit less spectacular than advertised. And in one case, it was hardly a real offered sacrifice, and black would have lost. Call it 2.5 queen sacrifices I guess.

6:49 is Qh6+ not mate?
Nevermind pin
