      You deserve it. Even as a player rated over 2250, I learn a lot from your analysis.
      But I do think Rae1 was obviously better - it was the first move I looked at.

    People observing the game feared that Fischer will go to the kitchen and return with a kitchen sink to wreck Tal over a head with it XD i laughed to tears

  • @j.a.armour2427
    @j.a.armour2427 9 ปีที่แล้ว +62

    I wanted to make a comment about Tal & Fischer. When Tal was dying in a hospital, I believe Fischer was the only Grandmaster to visit him. I don't know if Tal had a difficult personality or was unpopular among the chess players at that time which would have put them off about visiting him at the hospital. Plus Fischer is always made out to be imbalanced, lacking in social graces, highly willful etc. Nevertheless, at least Fischer had the compassion and sensitivity to visit Tal in the hospital just before he passed away and I think that speaks volumes about the comradeship and admiration Fischer must have felt toward Tal and probably Tal felt toward Fischer as well. For even though they did battle with each other on the chess board, there must have been some meaningful emotional bond between them because of their mutual love for the game of chess and because of the admiration and respect they had for each other.

    • @karim0126
      @karim0126 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      +J.A. Armour the way tal defeated gm,s made them feel amatures . so i guess they hated him for that

    • @honeybadger2171
      @honeybadger2171 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +J.A. Armour i guess Fischer had a lot of respect for tal i heard tal invited Fischer to his party so they must have been friends

    • @wandering_soul11
      @wandering_soul11 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The story you have is true but Tal wasn't on his deathbed, far from it. It was during the Curacao Candidates in 1962, Tal was unwell but still played but if you see his games, he lost them in uncharacteristic fashion. He left the tournament halfway.
      Fischer visited him and has always professed an admiration of the great Tal, and you should read his notes on his first win against Tal from My 60 Memorable Games.

  • @plexasm3623
    @plexasm3623 8 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    Also of note, fischer was 16 when he played this game.

    • @bobfree1226

    • @bananaboy78member40
      @bananaboy78member40 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, Fischer was very young that time. But if you were an experienced chess player, you know Tal wasnt playing very seriously... A super grandmaster esp someone on Tal's level, isnt going leave his pieces undeveloped for the sake of a pawn...

    • @jonaho5260
      @jonaho5260 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's irrelevant. Nowadays there are younger grandmaster players.

    Thanks Mato for taking the time to make these videos. My 9 yr old son and I really enjoy the "pause the video" option for a chance to find the best move. My son is currently ranked 1300 USCF and we think you deserve some credit so we thank you very much. We also like your sense of humor. He really laughed loud when you moved the black pawn back to take the white pawn. When we get together to see your videos, we call it "Mato Time". We wish you a great 2014.
    God Bless You.

    What makes Fischer or Kasparov the greatest chess player of all time? Maybe their record of play since childhood and their number of winning including the fact that both are prodigies. For me Tal is the greatest player of all time. He became also a chess world champion for a short time and beaten Fischer many times in a brilliant winning attack. Fischer can not win always against Tal and the same with later but Tal is always the better player exhibiting extraordinary winning moves against; and Tal was not a chess prodigy yet he was able to equal or better in play than those prodigies. to me that makes him extra-ordinary.

      I´ll tell you what makes Fischer the greatest player of all time. First of all, he surpassed himself permanently. He had no level limits. Tal's victories over Fischer only were in 1959, with Tal at his peak and Bobby being only 16. After that, he never beat him again. Same situations happened against Petrosian, Spassky, etc. Not to mention that he had the entire Soviet Union against him, with labs analyzing his games and trying to defeat him. But Fischer beat them all singlehandedly.
      Secondly, he refuted the King's gambit, one of the most popular openings in the XIX century writing an excellent article. Think that just for a moment. The whole world thought that opening was great until he showed they were wrong. He did the same thing with the sicilian dragon.
      Some minor facts as well, youngest GM of his time, rating record of 2785 points only surpassed decades later, defeated both larsen and taimanov with a crushing 6-0 at the 1971 candidates tournament, etc, etc, etc.
      If this facts doesn't seem enough for you, then here's another one. the 1972 championship was the most important event of the year only because of him. he made chess popular in the seventies. chess isn't popular nowadays, Since kasparov's retirement almost nobody cares about it compared with football, basketball, boxing.

      you are wrong Fischer also lost to Tal even after 1959 even in blitz game. you are not telling the truth. Tal is the counter point of fischer.
