Mikhail Tal crushes with the Benoni in 23 moves

Featured is the sharp chess miniature between Janis Mileika and 16-year-old Mikhail Tal from the 1953 Latvian Chess Championship. The young Mikhail Tal adopts the Benoni Defense and seizes the opportunity to exploit Janis Mileika's unconventional 4th move. Tal's energetic response prompts an immediate sub-optimal reply, and by move 9, a decisive position is already reached. #MikhailTal #BenoniDefense
