I was born on 11/13 and I also think this is an early birthday gift for me as well. Even though yesterday my Mom got me a Christmas perrito blanket. She's sweet :)
Words can’t really describe how beautiful is tal’s games It gives me a weird feeling of joy, only ronaldinho did that for me in football Happy birthday to the greatest chess player to ever live.
Agadmator is and always will be pure class. Greatest chess channel on TH-cam IMO. Thanks Antonio for all the work you’ve been putting to build this channel, truly spent many hours hearing you analyze different games from different eras with your characteristic eloquence and charm. Wish you all the best, greetings from Tijuana 🇲🇽♟
@@equal7958 Perhaps. But Antonio started making videos almost 5 years back. And chess has gained popularity in the pandemic. Agadmator is on TH-cam since the chess fanbase was incredibly small.
Tal's playing style wasn't always technically sound, but I think he knew that. He played in a way that his opponents feared, aggressive and relentless attacking. He very much played the person in front of him and made him crack nearly every time. In many games escape was possible but amazingly difficult to find. Modern GM's can take a lesson in his ways, always trying to play the perfect engine move and never taking risks.
The thing is that, computational chess have advanced chess games to a whole new different level compared to the days Tal played, and the overly aggressive style that Tal uses won't work today as shown by Magnus when he's maturing from his attacking style when he was young Don't get me wrong, Tal's games are still so enjoyable to watch. Just want to point out that his style won't work against modern day Super GMs
"There are two types of sacrifices: correct ones, and mine." So yeah, he did know it. But he was a master at complicating the position so much that his opponents would hesitate to go for the sharpest continuations, at which point he just went all out.
Mikhail Tal was colourful on and off the board. he was once kissed by Miguel Najdorf for one of his moves . 😁 . One of his quotes always stuck with me “Quiet moves often make a stronger impression than a wild combination with heavy sacrifices.” Also , Vishy Anand and Tal played only one game when Tal health was in serious decline and he passed away a short while later . One of the few chess players to have a positive score against Fischer .
Tbh I dont like the Tal-Anand game, I am huge fan of both, but Misha playing the English and not sacrificing anything, it was not in the spirit of the Magician of Riga
@@anirbanghosh1217 Okay, seriously? Just give him a break. Look at every other game he was brilliant in, instead of being whiny about the one time he couldn't play to anywhere near his prime level.
This is the type of content that hooked me up in chess and agadmator's chess channel. I hope you come up with more like previous years and yeah truly an evergreen magician .
Matter of opinion...50 years old Botvinnik beat him in 1961 and he never challenged a champion for the title for his entire life. Greatest player ever lived??? Bullshit...
Sretan rođendan Tal ti si zaista najveći šahist svih vremena, igraj taj šah u to doba protiv igrača kao što su botvinnik, fisher, symslov, spassky itd. bio si stvarno nevjerojatan❤️❤️
Wow, 3years on this channel for me. Thank you Agadmator for accompanying me for years through my up and down. You also ignited my interest on chess again after I left it after my high school years. You also opened the chess world for me. I didn't know chess was so awesome and interesting. Thank you again. Thank you so much
My first chess video on TH-cam is your Anand’s immortal and in that video you mentioned Tal and I thought he must be some legendary player and watched all of your videos on Tal… So yeah, Tal is the sole protector of your channel who didn’t let me leave your channel.😁
I remember Tal playing in the late 1980ies/1990ies in Germany and participating in small local tournaments. Tal was a legend at that time of course and when my buddy ended up playing with him in an early round we were both truly excited.
Very very warm and saluting happy birthday Mikhail Tal . U are the only chess player i dont find advantage to analyze my games because u are not human, but I am. I wished i could meet him once in my life
I got into chess back in 2017 due to Antonio's videos on Tal and his "Tal moves"! Still some of the craziest chess content out there :) The chess boom in the past few years has been so exciting Hope you keep on making these Tal videos on every birthdays of his Maybe even on Bitvinnik's birthday once in a while. That would be the ultimate Tal move! 🤣
You my friend have come such a long way since you started this channel. It's been an honour and a priviledge to follow this journey. May it continue on for a long time to come!
I'm sure this channel would run with all its glamour for at least next 15 years. Want a complete remake of the 1960 Championship against Botvinnik, as a celebration of the century of our Beloved Pirate.
You are really classy commentator and choices of your themes are peculiar! You are not obsessed with yourself, you are not erratic, you made huge collection of chess games like no one! You are true champion of the chess commenting! Honestly, you are the best in this business for average people like myself and million others!
Tal is just such an amazing player to watch. And with Agad analysing the positions some of the intricate planning is revealed. A great privilege to grapple with such games, thanks.
The way he despatched Flesch's pieces makes me think this should have been a Halloween video rather than a birthday one, with Tal in a hockey mask and carrying a chainsaw.
@@shreeyamittal1771 If Tal didn't live the lifestyle he did, he wouldn't be Tal. So in retrospect that was healthy, because "Zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi"
Cmon Agad, we need a Tal video every week, make some Tal-Tuesdays or Tal-Thursdays or Mikhial-Monday series. No one cares if the game is stale and boring, we just need tal!!!
Dear Antonio, I fell in love with you few years ago with the Tal saga. I hope there will be always a Tal game to show us. Thanks for sharing your passion to chess.
I saw him a few times, the last time he was not looking well already. Participated in event with 50 GMs in 1984 and wanted to play him, but had wrong seat and played Alexander Beliavsky instead.
What a masterpiece by the "Magician from Riga"! He sacrificed so much material but still ended up with an exotic game plan and a material advantage. This is sort of chess that's becoming rare these days, but it's enjoyable to watch nonetheless. As always, great work Antonio. Keep it going 👍
Agadmator, I love your nice, accurate, and fluent English as well as your great chess analysis. However, gramatically: "He would be 85 today (if he were alive). 🥰
My sister knows nothing about football but when i listen to Agad's videos, she listens attentively and pretty much enjoy them. As if she is listening to a story!! Thanks for your incredible efforts on this grand chess channel sir!!

My wife hears these videos. She thought Agadmator was the world champion.
😆😄😄
Tell her he is an organizing Champ.
The world champion of communicating chess, to be sure.
🤣🤣🤣
To an untrained ear it certainly would sound like he knew better than the players.
In the 80's, when I lived in NY, I played a simul against him. I was a member of the Manhattan Chess Club. It was a great honor.
did you win?
i think you were 1800 at that time yeah if i am not wrong?
U r so lucky sir🥺
If you beat Tal,it will be very memorable haha
@@zwischendurundmoll3968 I was crushed like a bug. Only 1800.
The way Antonio talks about Tal tells you how much he admires him. One of the best players of all time and the best channel on TH-cam!!
Tal's face has been glued to the top right corner for years now. I'm sure that was enough to show his admiration...
"Tal is disgusted at this pawn that was given to him and now he gives it back..." Haha just amazing commentary!
My favourite piece of agad commentary was on a Tal game he covered years ago. He said "Tal is up material and it is haunting him..."
@@trequor Hahaha I must've missed that one! Link?
@@carlos_kay If I knew which one it was :( i've been trying to remember for a while now as i want to rewatch it.

happy birthday for day after tmr!

Ahh I see, metaverse
HBD to the peerless Tal. My dad’s hero. They are roughly the same age and my dad always loved to play like Tal.
Happy Birthday to Tal! His unique playing style made chess exciting!

Tal is the master of making his opponent's pieces interfere with each other.
It's a wonderful memory of Tal who died quite young. Good work, Antonio.
funnily enough today is my birthday, so excited to share one with tal
What more canine ask for other than a Tal game to make the day - thanks a lot. As always, brilliant and creative.

I thought Tal's nickname was "The magician of Riga" rather than pirate.
But he can have several nicknames!
That idiot guy in your photo reminds me of someone. Who is he??
I love how gentle they were that they use to allow to get checkmated. Truly chess.
You Are A Great Man Antonio .. We Really Love You :)
Nice to see another historical game, the modern recaps are great too but these are always a delight. Cheers Agad!

This is the channel I pay my internet bill for... Absolutely beautiful analysis... !!!
I've never seen a Tal game before. Holy smokes what a fucking madman, I love this guy.
Well, you have just seen the tip of the mountain my friend ;-)

Happy Birthday Tal! thanks for this video Agadmator! Really inspiring attack.
Happy Birthday, Tal.
Somewhere, likely in chess heaven, he is giving someone hell over the board.
This is actually the most beautiful game I ever watched.Ever more than the evergreen one
Amazing game. Rivals Wesly's and Magnus' brilliancies of earlier this year.
Damn I remember when you had under 100K subs, great job growing the Chanel
That Rook, Knight and Queen combo was fatality x3.
Imagine Tal vs Dubov 🤭
Antonio is hinting at the Metaverse 😀 In a decade or two we'll be able to watch "Tal v Botvinnik" recreated in the Metaverse!
Just a remark about János Flesh. He played blind simultan with 52 players parallel in 1960. It was and is a world record.
Just a masterpiece 👏
Much love to the Magician & Pirate of Riga! Happy Birthday Mikhail Tahl! Your games always bring a smile to my face
Tal was a guy with a strong sense of humor. Genius!!
Happy 85th Birthday Tal!!!
one of the best games ive seen on this channel! Look forward to revisit it in vr 😄
Tal is incredible. The only player who I watch with open mouth. In 5 billion years I would never guess the moves that he plays
I saw him a few times, the last time he was not looking well already.
Participated in event with 50 GMs in 1984 and wanted to play him, but had wrong seat and played Alexander Beliavsky instead.
