"pause the game and find best continuation for tal" why bother dudes gonna sacrifice his queen for a pawn then turn his knight into a pegasus and fly over to checkmate or something anyway
Domenick Palmieri When watching a Tal game one must turn of their rationale and logic, when finding the "killah move". i.e just play the opposite of sensible.
when Tal's game is reviewed, Mato asks for the "killa move", it is the most easy thing to guess: all you need to do is turn of the logic and play most ridiculous move and it will appear to be the best!
Insanity. Pure insanity. Only Tal would exchange a queen for a minor piece with his only compensation being he can play on instead of settle for a draw lol.
I agree that it's a pretty ballsy decision. Though heelfan has a point. Overall the exchange comes to 1 queen for a bishop, a knight and a pawn. With the additional positional compensation of immediate attacking chances. Black also has the bishop pair and white doesn't have a dark-squared bishop, making black's king much more defensible. I think I would of made the same choice.
Thank you for bringing this game to our attention. It has everything that you find amazing in a Tal game. With a lot guts. I don’t think that I would be sacrificing a queen to avoid a draw.
Truly ingenius. I couldn't find any of Tal's moves. What a joy to see the board from his eyes... I wish he lived another 100 years to leave behind more gems like this.
Your videos send me shivers down my spine when I hear "And in this position, [..] resigned" or "And [..] found.. a killer move!" .. The way you say it is just brilliant .
What a geat game! But Mato its a shame that one user always dislikes your videos! Your videos brought me back to chess, and its always such a pleasure watching them! And it seems like I am not alone with that thought! Please keep up your good work!
Mato, i just want to say thanks for all your videos! I have always loved chess and played nearly my whole life, but now i am realizing there are killer moves in almost every game! Keep up the good work and thanks! P.S.- More Tal games please:)
your videos are very enjoidable, I like you analise some variations which makes it interesting, but not so many like other chanels, that makes it complicated.
I have learned to play chess, for mato has shown me! WE LOVE YOU MATO - The chess learning community P.S. Please include more videos of Morphy and Polgar! I know you plan to make more videos of Morphy's games but I just want to reinforce how much they would be appreciated. Also, I don't know too much about chess but Polgar seems to have a one of the best intuitions about chess and I would really love to be exposed to more of her games if you are narrating.
Tal would charge Hell if all he had left was a bishop, knight and a couple pawns! His are some of the greatest games. Tal and Morphy are my favorites because of their relentless attacks and counter intuitive style to sacrifice pieces to advance their attack.
i love Mato's sense of humor, even though i have to wait for him to say 'just kidding' most of the time. Keep up the great work Mato, i think watching your vids is the smartest thing i do everyday :)
Dana Huffer Tal would most likely lose out in the opening. The advent of modern computer analysis enables an incredible opening depth to people like Carlsen and Anad. That's why top ratings get higher over time. Also, Carlsen has an in depth analysis of this game available.
Mato you're great! I really appreciate your analyses. If you could commentate on more Mikhail Tal games I would like that very much, I find his games are like works of art.
Hi Mato, brilliant stuff and I love your analysis and presentations. Just was curious to know whether this was a sound sacrifice. Is there a refutation by the computer analysis? Is there a better move for White instead of 20. Qe2 (I can think of 20. Qxd3 and White gets a Rook for a Knight) Sincere thanks for the good work that you keep doing!
Of all the games you have posted, this is my favourite. The games of Judit Polgar are very interesting but I very much admire Tal's grit and how he played the game to WIN. I believe Tal has the best winning record against Bobby Fischer of any other player.....not that is something.
Amazing! But the name of the white player is Román Torán, not Alberto. His second surname is Albero, he was president of the Spanish chess federation ( and a strong player) and was known as Román Torán. Thanks for these awesome videos.
Regarding your question at the end of the video, i would play Kg8 2 times and grin at the opponent when playing Dxf7 to prevent the threefold repetition. Aside from the "battle of minds" aspect also time may count later, in the highly unlikely ;) case i missed something.
If I have Tal's brain, I would not mind taking the risk for more than thousand times :D once again, thanks Mato for your chess video. I learned a lot. :)
Mato; I don't think Tal was taking any chances like you mention in this video. I think that Tal was actually thinking 7 moves ahead. Also, I would like to play chess against you, please reply back. Thanks.
+MatoJelic thank you so much for what you do. I have a question -after 16. ... Rxe3, why didn't white play 17. Bxc6? If 17. ... Rd3 (threatening the White Queen) then 18. Bd5+. Would welcome answers from anyone.
Great instructional video. I was wondering if you could cover some of my favorite players. Like rashid nezhmetdinov. He was another attacking genus...please respond.
You have to love Tap for his creativity and courage on the chess board. I wonder how much longer he would have held the World Championship if he had better health?
Mato, awesome analysis, but for future reference, can you please have white at the bottom of every game, the way you put the person who would win at the bottom of the board gives the game away, and I want to be surprised by who wins.
Pozdrav Mato. Na osnovu Tvog naglaska rekao bih da si rodjen u Yu, a emigrirao u Australiju. Govoris srpskohrvatski? :) Jesi li cuo da je preminuo Svetozar Gligoric? Da li si mozes neku od njegovih partija da postavis! Odlican kanal, hvala za ove divne klipove. I pozdrav jos jednom , iz Novog Sada
Mato can you make games of Vishwanathan anand want to see how he plays Garry kasparov called him the worlds most versatile player! Thanks also who are you supporting for the world chess championship anand or Gelfand? Btw awesome game this one!!
Tal and Max Lange are my favorites. If it's with computers or if it's with today's grandmasters chess is way more interesting with these 2 players. You have other recommendations of players of this caliber I'm all ears!
At 3:22 White why didn't take the horse? And after he can give chess at d5. If black hit c6, Roman take Rook, so it isn't good. If black move Rd3-Qxd3-Bxd3-Bc6d5-Kh8-Horse f7 ect....so white can win or draw.
"pause the game and find best continuation for tal"
why bother dudes gonna sacrifice his queen for a pawn then turn his knight into a pegasus and fly over to checkmate or something anyway
hahahahha ...exactly😂😂
Domenick Palmieri When watching a Tal game one must turn of their rationale and logic, when finding the "killah move". i.e just play the opposite of sensible.
And moves his king forward
Absolutely hilarious.. I had to pause the video from laughing
this comment made me laugh out loud haha!
when Tal's game is reviewed, Mato asks for the "killa move", it is the most easy thing to guess: all you need to do is turn of the logic and play most ridiculous move and it will appear to be the best!
"You have one, tú, tree pieces!" His accent is really nice hahaha
Yep. That's how I spotted Rook takes Bishop.
First "Critical Moment" in the game:
The only reason I knew Tal would sacrifice his Rook was that there was no way to sacrifice his Queen.
:'D
queen f7
😂
Insanity. Pure insanity. Only Tal would exchange a queen for a minor piece with his only compensation being he can play on instead of settle for a draw lol.
A queen for two minor pieces and nasty attack. It wasn't that far off an equal trade on the face of it.
heelfan1234 you must see his game against bobstov 1957
I agree that it's a pretty ballsy decision. Though heelfan has a point. Overall the exchange comes to 1 queen for a bishop, a knight and a pawn. With the additional positional compensation of immediate attacking chances. Black also has the bishop pair and white doesn't have a dark-squared bishop, making black's king much more defensible.
I think I would of made the same choice.
@@thedaveastator7939 nah you wouldn't.
I think if Tal never picked up chess, he would be touring the world with his death metal band.
+elmohead he would still play chessboxing completely drunk between two concerts.
He would sacrifice his band to have a better band.
BlackmanTheJock best comment! LoL
After each Tal's game analysis by you, Mato, I understand more why you love his games so much. Another great video! Thanks!
Alberto decided that he had enough torture for the day ! That was the best quote so far Mato !
he decided he had enough torture for the day :) :) :)
Thank you for bringing this game to our attention. It has everything that you find amazing in a Tal game. With a lot guts. I don’t think that I would be sacrificing a queen to avoid a draw.
Honestly, Tal has to be my favourite chess player ever. His attacking brilliance never ceases to amaze.
Tal plays like he's god toying with you
I went to upvote this and saw that I had already upvoted it sometime in the past. Thanks for posting and keep up the good work.
Truly ingenius. I couldn't find any of Tal's moves. What a joy to see the board from his eyes... I wish he lived another 100 years to leave behind more gems like this.
Your videos send me shivers down my spine when I hear "And in this position, [..] resigned" or "And [..] found.. a killer move!" .. The way you say it is just brilliant .
And we have reached critical position of the game... Best commentator ever!
Thank you
for Tal,,, every piece is a queen, so what if he loses one?
every piece is a queen?!!! he just sacrificed his queen!!!!
He would lost killing!😂👌
Thank you Mato! Love your narrative, enjoy so much the pace of how you present the videos and learning quite a bit from the whole thing.
Thank you Mato. I have made your site my TH-cam home page because you are an excellent analyzer with a gold voice. Thanks !
Thank you
Been a subscriber to Mato for years now, and I never get tired of his analysis of Tal's games. Hence, here I am 11 years later , looking at this game.
Thanks Mato. Very instructive and entertaining as always!
In that case I will not respond.
Thank you for all your comments today.
Taking no risk is the biggest risk- Mark Jukerbarg.
The bizarre thing is that's true.
+Preston Thompson You are right. This is a bizarre truth.
Thank you for your suggestion. I have a list of games which I want to do. But surly I can make videos of Rashid Nezhmetdinov. Very soon.
Thanks Mato for making what would other wise be very difficult to understand, easier.
What a geat game! But Mato its a shame that one user always dislikes your videos! Your videos brought me back to chess, and its always such a pleasure watching them! And it seems like I am not alone with that thought! Please keep up your good work!
You always post the most interesting games. It's a pleasure watching every video.
lol Alberto decided he had enough torture for today
Mato your videos are amazing. I learn so much from them. Thank you :)
Mato, another great video on the genius of Mikhail Tal...my God what imagination and gifted insight...I can't see any of what Tal sees.
Fantastic game and illuminating narration as always. Thanks, Mato!
Like the titles of your videos. Thank you for your work.
Mato, i just want to say thanks for all your videos! I have always loved chess and played nearly my whole life, but now i am realizing there are killer moves in almost every game! Keep up the good work and thanks!
P.S.- More Tal games please:)
your videos are very enjoidable, I like you analise some variations which makes it interesting, but not so many like other chanels, that makes it complicated.
What a game by the great master Tal! The queen sacrifice left me stunned!
Thank you for a compliment
I have learned to play chess, for mato has shown me!
WE LOVE YOU MATO - The chess learning community
P.S. Please include more videos of Morphy and Polgar! I know you plan to make more videos of Morphy's games but I just want to reinforce how much they would be appreciated. Also, I don't know too much about chess but Polgar seems to have a one of the best intuitions about chess and I would really love to be exposed to more of her games if you are narrating.
your videos are outstanding. Thank you!
Tal would charge Hell if all he had left was a bishop, knight and a couple pawns! His are some of the greatest games. Tal and Morphy are my favorites because of their relentless attacks and counter intuitive style to sacrifice pieces to advance their attack.
thanks mato ive really enjoyed your games on tal i hope theres more to come.
Wow I am loving these Tal videos. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.
i love Mato's sense of humor, even though i have to wait for him to say 'just kidding' most of the time. Keep up the great work Mato, i think watching your vids is the smartest thing i do everyday :)
.... and Alberto resigneeeed.
amazing review ! Thanks from a chess noob , not an ultranoob - thanks to you , Mato ! :) ! Have a great time !
Wonder if Tal ever played Short. Tal and short!!!
Really brilliant, I enjoyed so much watching this game. Thanks Mato.
Thank you for your comment
Spectacular. Such an incredible combination coupled with incredible risk: Only from the mind of Tal.
Wow i actuelly had the correct answer for once. Proud!
Love your vids, really captures the suspense of a good game.
Tal's attack is fantastic after the opening; a unique way that he organizes his forces and plans the attack
As always good video. Keep up, Mato.
Please show this to Carlson and Anand
Dana Huffer Tal would most likely lose out in the opening. The advent of modern computer analysis enables an incredible opening depth to people like Carlsen and Anad. That's why top ratings get higher over time. Also, Carlsen has an in depth analysis of this game available.
If Tal was alive today he would have access to the same information in addition to his "killa moves." Please don't be a fool.
Mato you're great! I really appreciate your analyses. If you could commentate on more Mikhail Tal games I would like that very much, I find his games are like works of art.
Tal: I got this. Have my queen, forget the draw!
Thank you
First time hearing you chuckle 😊
Vishwanathan's games are coming up in may 2012.
Hi Mato, brilliant stuff and I love your analysis and presentations. Just was curious to know whether this was a sound sacrifice. Is there a refutation by the computer analysis? Is there a better move for White instead of 20. Qe2 (I can think of 20. Qxd3 and White gets a Rook for a Knight)
Sincere thanks for the good work that you keep doing!
doubled bishops can be very annoying, even before the end game, especially if the king is exposed in this way. nice video, mato.
I'm not Tal so in the critical position my first thought was Kh8 to avoid the windmill.
He calculated and trusted in his ability
Of all the games you have posted, this is my favourite. The games of Judit Polgar are very interesting but I very much admire Tal's grit and how he played the game to WIN. I believe Tal has the best winning record against Bobby Fischer of any other player.....not that is something.
No, it is OK to click on ads
very nice narration lol. your explanation fits tal's game.
Amazing! But the name of the white player is Román Torán, not Alberto. His second surname is Albero, he was president of the Spanish chess federation ( and a strong player) and was known as Román Torán. Thanks for these awesome videos.
I'll take this as a compliment
"Hi, this is Ma To! ... " :)
hilarious!
Regarding your question at the end of the video,
i would play Kg8 2 times and grin at the opponent when playing Dxf7 to prevent the threefold repetition.
Aside from the "battle of minds" aspect also time may count later, in the highly unlikely ;) case i missed something.
Tal is no doubt one of the best players of all times.
If I have Tal's brain, I would not mind taking the risk for more than thousand times :D
once again, thanks Mato for your chess video. I learned a lot. :)
at 3:50 please
1_ pause the vedio
2_play "reauiem for dream"
3_continue
Another masterclass from tal that left me speechless
Amazing attack by one of the last romantic heroes of chess, Mikhail Tal.
+Hamlet Elsinore
romantic heroes of chess ? mniam :)
Wow, brilliant attack as usual from Tal. What a genius!
Mato; I don't think Tal was taking any chances like you mention in this video. I think that Tal was actually thinking 7 moves ahead. Also, I would like to play chess against you, please reply back. Thanks.
On the score sheet it says ALBERO. So I left it like that.
It's bold but it's so beautiful that it almost puts a tear in my eye.
3:00 your joke got me again i almost scream no when you said would you move the king
+MatoJelic thank you so much for what you do. I have a question -after 16. ... Rxe3, why didn't white play 17. Bxc6? If 17. ... Rd3 (threatening the White Queen) then 18. Bd5+. Would welcome answers from anyone.
Great instructional video. I was wondering if you could cover some of my favorite players. Like rashid nezhmetdinov. He was another attacking genus...please respond.
You have to love Tap for his creativity and courage on the chess board. I wonder how much longer he would have held the World Championship if he had better health?
this video makes me feel dumb for not knowing how to play chess, yet smart for listening to two geniuses play chess
Mato, awesome analysis, but for future reference, can you please have white at the bottom of every game, the way you put the person who would win at the bottom of the board gives the game away, and I want to be surprised by who wins.
děkuji
Pozdrav Mato. Na osnovu Tvog naglaska rekao bih da si rodjen u Yu, a emigrirao u Australiju. Govoris srpskohrvatski? :) Jesi li cuo da je preminuo Svetozar Gligoric? Da li si mozes neku od njegovih partija da postavis!
Odlican kanal, hvala za ove divne klipove. I pozdrav jos jednom ,
iz Novog Sada
Wow I got the last move too. I'm on a roll today
You kinda sound like Yinzen from the first Iron Man movie. Awesome!
Of course.
What a player! My all time favorite Tal.
Mato , God bless you mate
Thank you Mato!
Extraordinary game by Tal!
Mato can you make games of Vishwanathan anand want to see how he plays Garry kasparov called him the worlds most versatile player! Thanks also who are you supporting for the world chess championship anand or Gelfand? Btw awesome game this one!!
tal is a super tactical player we all enjoy watching his games
so beautiful game!thank you
Tal and Max Lange are my favorites. If it's with computers or if it's with today's grandmasters chess is way more interesting with these 2 players. You have other recommendations of players of this caliber I'm all ears!
Keres
Fischer
Kasparov
At 3:22 White why didn't take the horse? And after he can give chess at d5. If black hit c6, Roman take Rook, so it isn't good. If black move Rd3-Qxd3-Bxd3-Bc6d5-Kh8-Horse f7 ect....so white can win or draw.
horse? lol you made ma day.
+kori9 F5 BxN RD3 BD5+ KH8 QF4 and white seems to be fine
+prashant kumar ya i got that i just found that horse thing funny.
wont the ads on your videos get removed if theres a "suspicious" amount of klicks?
great lessons and insight
mato...u r amazing!
Tal you just became one of my favorite chess players. prepare to be studied!
