Mikhail Tal's Most Insane Queen Sacrifice

  • In this famous chess game the eighth world chess champion Mikhail Tal sacrifices his queen on move 13 and manages to organize a very dangerous attack! Being unable to repel Tal's attack his trainer Alexander Koblents soon gets a lost position. A typical Tal game which every Sicilian Najdorf player should see!

    Dear chess lovers, I checked in the database, and it turned out that the first recorded game with this queen sacrifice variation belongs to Latvian chess master Janis Klavins who in 1959 (two years earlier) tried it against Mikhail Tal, though Tal managed to win the game!!!

      For once, it's Tal's opponent who sacrificed the queen... Yet he managed to win the game... By the way, I could be wrong, isn't Alexander Koblents Tal's coach?

    • @exoplanet11
      @exoplanet11 6 років тому

      No. One reason engines cannot create art like Tal is that (as Kasparov has pointed out) many of Tai's sacrifices can be refuted by ideal play on the part of his opponent. A computer would never make a such a move.
      However, as Tal knew well, one only has to defeat the opponent on the other side of the board, not a hypothetical opponent who can play perfectly.

    • @chetank7692
      @chetank7692 6 років тому +8

      Chris McCarthy yes many of Tal's sacrifices were not perfect play as you said because he only had to beat a human sitting in front, but I've seen a couple of games of Tal where his sacrifices where rated by engines as not perfect for many decades until computers and programs became more powerful to comb through many more possibilities of his magical moves. And believe it or not, in a few games engines like stockfish give Tals moves the upper hand now. And in a few other games stockfish even today, cannot see Tals moves and suggests some other moves. But when you play the Tal move and ask it for reevaluation, stockfish rates it higher than its own previously suggested move!
      Simply goes to show how powerful the human brain and intuition really are. Tal was a genius and an artist. Even engines had to 'grow up' for decades to just be able to see(not find) although in a handful of cases, that his moves are winning. Is it not an amazing thing?
