Very interesting game right from the opening. Tal just throwing the gauntlet down early on opening things up. Lets get tactical! Thank you for the review.
11:22 Fun fact - in the little known 13th century Crusade launched from Bornholm to Christianise the Baltic peoples from their pagan ‘magie’ Tal’s ancestral family got overlooked…
More Tal games please. When it seems his game is on the brink, Mischa has seen moves so far ahead that he sidesteps the disaster and surprises the analysts and his opponent. We are fortunate to have Tal, Spassky and Fischer at that time to allow chess to become a fighting game (1.e4!) instead of the slow maneuvering closed and semi-closed games (1.c4, d4 or Nf3) that were the norm.
Voronkov and Cefferrty have books that show many attacking tactical games from the Soviet Champions and the games from the 40's and 50's. Botvinnik had played and beaten Capa so he knew how to really pressure an opponent. Tal knew how to force an opponent to have to calculate a great many moves quite deeply which was Botvinnik's weakness. Their 1960 Championship was akin to the Capa-Alekhine Match in 1927 in that the winner had forced his style of play to occur in the game.
Great game from Tal nice line offering up the Queen to be able to Checkmate with the Rook and knight his opponent not taking the bait Tal had excellent board vision he seemed the type of player always on the look out for intricate patterns that his opponent would not see or expect thanks for the game and analysis
Keep up the great work. Just the right amount of quality analysis.

Thanks for the game review dawg
Wonderful game. How can anyone criticize tactical chess...as long as you can see farther down the tree of analysis? And Tal could.
