*Kurdman Pouyesh,* that is also starting to be the case for me. *No reverse Rashid,* really does make games interesting. When i'm in a mood for defense, I try to go Tigran Petrosian defensive style but not often.
I never comment videos usually, but this game is just pure magic. That attack is just a piece of art. I wasn't interested much in chess before watching your videos, but now I can never miss one ! Keep up the excellent work and thank you. this channel is growing up so fast and it is 100% deserved.
In the book "The Absolute Correspondence Championship of the United States Chess Federation 1976-2010" Robert Forbis is mentioned. It says he was born in 1958 and has played in some correspondence chess events including being part of the winning team in the 1992 Division I USCF Correspondence Chess Team Championship.
The hoodie guy "Robert Forbis" is actually a woman named "Cathy Forbes": www.redhotpawn.com/chess/grandmaster-games/viewmastergame.php?pgnid=179204 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathy_Warwick
@@phdcmd No, Forbis is Robert Forbis. Seirawan and Silman included the game in their book Winning Chess Tactics, but the name got misspelled in the second edition.
YEVGEN SHEVCHENKO : Robert Forbis is a male. He worked with me in one of the projects recently. He is a good friend of mine. He gifted me a chess magazine too!!
Ha ha ha ha tal sacrifices everything , expect that game.... Soon or later.... Opponent encountered.... His mad player .. Lot of respect... Thanks for sharing
People are afraid to mention that he was also called, "The Devil from Riga". I prefer that one because it truly reflects the fear many opponents had of him.
Robert Forbis is a long-time chess player, mostly in correspondence. Played 4 times in the US Absolute, the invitational correspondence annual championship. He told me this was the most fun he ever had.
I always wonder what these guys are thinking who play Tal... As far as I can tell, it's something like, "Hmm, who am I paired with? Tal? Great, I'll play the sharpest opening I can think of, maybe people will watch the game on TH-cam in 30 years!"
The United States Chess Federation website has a Robert Forbis listed. He has been inactive since at least 1991. His last rating was 2032USCF. (About 1950 FIDE?) His home state is Illinois, probably Chicago. This site has 1 additional game where he lost to Margeir Petursson. chess-db.com/public/pinfo.jsp?id=3010458218 This website has some scanned articles from 1974 which showed Forbis winning some prize money as a junior player in California. www.chessdryad.com/articles/ccr/V24N1.pdf (it also has a problem position where Browne found a novelty against Bisguier during the 1974 US Closed.)
Continue your Good work !! Keep it up and I would like you to make some teaching videos like openings or some middle game tricks etc, Just one out of your 3 or 4 videos.
Stunning. How does he think of these moves? Could he see much further ahead than other players? Was he reckless -- did he lose a lot of games due to over-optimism?
@2:18 In Tal's games, 'the queen has to move' is a premature assumption, it should be backed by concrete calculations showing why a queen sacrifice makes no sense in the position :) (Just kidding, it indeed makes no sense here. But I did consider Bxf7+ briefly when you said that there's no way to save the bishop from the exchange on b3 :))
Agadmator, I am reading "Starting Out: The SIcilian". One of the first variations covered was the Yugoslav Attack. I played that with a friend and they said that the Yugoslav Attack makes the h-file very weak for Black. Does that necessarily mean that the Yugoslav Attack is bad for Black? Please answer and thanks a lot for your Tal videos. I was playing in Lichess Lonewolf and there was this one REALLY Tal-looking move, and I know that 99% of the Tal moves are winning and that was pretty complicated for me. So I just played that move and...... resigned in 4 moves :)
question: in minute 5:16 if u push the E pawn to e5 u win the knight? cause the queen its unprotected. Or white have a move to refute this? its difficult to think that with two strong players in the board but i don't see how refutes that. (i don't speak good english so sorry if i made write mistakes)
Found the move! Wooohooo :D 4th time on this channel! The only moves I could not found, no matter how much time I took thinking, where the moves played by Rashid Nezhmetdinov
4:33 a variation you might have missed was pawn takes knight on D4 which leads to queen G3 check followed by Knight takes F6 causing defense against the checkmate to cost an entire rook with rook to G8 and then knight takes rook on G8... I'm a horrible player at chess but that's one of the reasons I thought the king move was so important lol
Oh of course then if bishop blocks check on G7 pawn takes followed by knight to F6 checking the king and then pawn queens, leading to rook takes and knight takes and rook must take back to even out the material. This variation only adds one extra bishop to the total bill.
you told us about the defense later in the video but what if white queen capture h6 without moving Knight from d5..?? that would also lead to checkmate..??
At 6:33 after the white queen takes the black knight, I was looking at black moving the h pawn right away, but then I noticed if he does that white can take the g2 pawn (also attacking the rook) and guard against the mate so Qg5+ is a great move that prevents white from doing that.
*I never knew of Tal's name until 2 months ago.*
When I did knew, he became my favorite Chess player immediately.
ikr! same with me!
Tal was my favourite for a long time. But 2 last week I found my new favourite: Rashid Nezhmetdinov
*Kurdman Pouyesh,* that is also starting to be the case for me. *No reverse Rashid,* really does make games interesting.
When i'm in a mood for defense, I try to go Tigran Petrosian defensive style but not often.
You should also check Vassily Ivanchuk . Both players have their own unique style of playing
Alekine was similar to Tal, if not better
"and here comes the dragon slayer" and i got goosebumps
What what a beautiful checkmate! "That's what I like to see." Haha definitely.
BMessemer hahahahaaa preach
Agreed never seen such
Tal is the programmer behind Alpha Zero.
Or there is a miniscule Tal pulling the leverage inside the kom-kom.. Kommunist..?
No, computer.
People say, "But Tal's opponent could have refuted Tal's attack!". My answer, "tick...tick...tick...tick...".
Yes, and the same when they analyse Morphy games even though time controls were different
hahahaha
Nathan G what do you mean time controls were different
yes, how do you like you tactics delivered, tick...tick...tick... tick...
It is easy to find the answer after the examination.
I never comment videos usually, but this game is just pure magic. That attack is just a piece of art. I wasn't interested much in chess before watching your videos, but now I can never miss one ! Keep up the excellent work and thank you. this channel is growing up so fast and it is 100% deserved.
This is incredible, this channel is getting about 1000 followers a day. Hard work pays off, nicely done!

I'm the only one that laughs in every Tal's game? Hahahaha this man is amazing!
Sadness is knowing you won't get any more Tal games after a while
With Tal there's always suprises
I really like the he play.
What masteful strategic designs and piece combinations were hiding in Tal's mind!!
Holy shit I finally got one of the "pause and see if you can find the move" things right!
Guess I'm ready to take on Tal (if he were still with us)...
Amazing game by Tal, I like the way you explain chess, very instructive. Keep covering Tals games!
This is art made by greatest artist.
I'm now totally addicted to Tal's games.
“Tal has a different idea” just means he sacrificed his queen haha
0:29 I'm sorry agadmator, I scoured the internet for hours and could find absolutely no information on hoodie guy
Thnaks for all videos... Now tal becomes my favorite... ... I mean way he played.... Just wow....
Wanna calculate how many time you mention "captures" :))))
Very beautiful game, Antonio.
Greetings from Armenia!
Man tal is so good! Such beautiful chess! He has such a powerful impact on us viewers! Really glad that i had a chance to experience such beauty
This is one of the greatest game ever played
Ha ha ha ha tal sacrifices everything , expect that game.... Soon or later.... Opponent encountered.... His mad player .. Lot of respect... Thanks for sharing
Lovely combination!
Tal's games are mind-blowing.
I like how at the end, only 2 pawns and 1 knight gave a clean checkmate. Very rare kind of mate in end game. Interesting indeed!
Definitely one of the coolest chess games if not the coolest I’ve ever seen
this divine checkmate was definitely my Christmas gift ..
And welcome to another episode of Tals Happy Hunting round
this video helped me get revenge on my dad after he crushed me using white. thank you!
Your channel is superb.
People are afraid to mention that he was also called, "The Devil from Riga". I prefer that one because it truly reflects the fear many opponents had of him.
I saw the defense instantly when you first mentioned theres one
what a player - the great Tal!
#suggestion White Rook Youth Club vs Mikhail - Tal 1970
286 / 0 like to dislike ratio. Gosh agad the content you make is so enjoyable to watch. Big fan
My favourite game by Tal❤️
What an excellent game, thats why all games of my mikhail is very exciting and full of ideas and most of all is in attack mode
Robert Forbis is a long-time chess player, mostly in correspondence. Played 4 times in the US Absolute, the invitational correspondence annual championship. He told me this was the most fun he ever had.
I’ve been watching you every day recently and don’t even know much about chess just a really be fan of you
+Avery Bloch Thanks. A bit weird, but thanks :D
:D *This* is why we love Tal.
What a truely beautiful checkmate.
1972 Karoly Honfi vs Mikhail Tal is a must see . Agadmator I suggest this for a video
you need to make videos on Efim Geller #suggestion
Absolutely incredible move! Not sure who was better,Tal or Fisher.Tal in his prime was incredible.I'm leaning Tal.
@agadmator Is Tal your favorite player?
Tal might had idea for that also .
.but we are not that smart to figure that out
I always wonder what these guys are thinking who play Tal... As far as I can tell, it's something like, "Hmm, who am I paired with? Tal? Great, I'll play the sharpest opening I can think of, maybe people will watch the game on TH-cam in 30 years!"
Gorgeous checkmate!
holy shit the checkmate move... so beautiful
That checkmate is amazing.
hey nice video, but what the problem of playing rook to g3 instead of leading for perpetual check with the queen on H6?

Vasily Ivanchuk, Bobby Fisher, Mikhail Tal, Nezmetdinov, and Magnus are my favs
Ty for the Christmas present.
Stunning. How does he think of these moves? Could he see much further ahead than other players? Was he reckless -- did he lose a lot of games due to over-optimism?
Beautiful game by the Pirate!
Incredible mate
A masterpiece👌
amazing game! thanks for the great work
@9:55 why not f6 for black threatening Qg7 nxt move.instead of Rf3?
Wow i can find this move that a grand Master could not find
But I blunder my queen
Intelligence ↗️↗️

But I did consider Bxf7+ briefly when you said that there's no way to save the bishop from the exchange on b3 :))
Wow. Brilliant
Agadmator, I can't understand what Mikhail tal quoted above board. Nice game by tal👍👍
Agadmator, I am reading "Starting Out: The SIcilian". One of the first variations covered was the Yugoslav Attack.

Also, what chess program do you use? I want to try it (If it's free of course :D)!
That Knight really caused some problems at 6:27. Took me a while to see why Qg5 Kh8 h6 Qg7# wasn't possible before that. Genius.
@ 10.12 after Queen G6 check the G3 move of rook follwed by queen H6 checkmate is undefendable for black .
Is there any defence for that !
Wow! This was amazing! What a beautiful game!
Thanks.
What brilliance.
Tal is super and great at calculations , may be his opponent was scared of Tal with cigarette .😂😂😂
question: in minute 5:16 if u push the E pawn to e5 u win the knight? cause the queen its unprotected. Or white have a move to refute this? its difficult to think that with two strong players in the board but i don't see how refutes that. (i don't speak good english so sorry if i made write mistakes)
This is pure magic!!
This is an extraordinary game by Tal. But I suspect that Mr. Robert Forbis was actually Ms. Cathy Forbes.
Found the move! Wooohooo :D 4th time on this channel!
The only moves I could not found, no matter how much time I took thinking, where the moves played by Rashid Nezhmetdinov
Yeah Rashid and his Queen sacrifices. Heavy stuff
Just wow! Amazing game.
Tal is simply amazing
tal rocking the slavic adidas
i saw the hoodie guy on the internet today by accident and burst in tears
4:33 a variation you might have missed was pawn takes knight on D4 which leads to queen G3 check followed by Knight takes F6 causing defense against the checkmate to cost an entire rook with rook to G8 and then knight takes rook on G8... I'm a horrible player at chess but that's one of the reasons I thought the king move was so important lol
Oh of course then if bishop blocks check on G7 pawn takes followed by knight to F6 checking the king and then pawn queens, leading to rook takes and knight takes and rook must take back to even out the material.
This variation only adds one extra bishop to the total bill.
I thought p-h6 was the saving move for black, but what stops the queen from capturing it? I may have missed something obvious, I'm afraid.
In last part (time 9:50), instead of Rf3, white could play Qg5+ followed by f6 and Qg7+ or if black plays Rg8, then Q X h5+ / Qh6+ is a mate. Right?
That combover though
9:53 but if you push f6 there's no way to stop mate! Is there? What am I missing on the analysis?
you told us about the defense later in the video but what if white queen capture h6 without moving Knight from d5..?? that would also lead to checkmate..??
I've recently started to study chess, and in a book I have, it mentions Fink v Alekhine, Pasadena Tournament, 1932. Could you cover it? #suggestion
70K incoming! Right on schedule ; )
🔥🔥🔥
i find this chicago game as iconic as the opera house mate
P.S. you missed some other variations on the position at the end
Wow ,nice move to checkmate
at 9:55 can’t white push f6? then queen to g7 checkmate seems unstoppable?
Agadmator, you haven't commented on the saucy logo for next year's London chess championship!
At 6:33 after the white queen takes the black knight, I was looking at black moving the h pawn right away, but then I noticed if he does that white can take the g2 pawn (also attacking the rook) and guard against the mate so Qg5+ is a great move that prevents white from doing that.
Tal makes so many moves that does not make sense to the opponent while playing the game that they never see that one move that can save them
#suggestion any game played by Napoleon. Keep the great job up!!
This game is special
Alex Dunne has a book about the Absolute correspondence chess tournament that mentions Robert Forbis.
Wow, what a combination
