What's amazing about Tals' games is that he always seems to have resources in place to stage a sudden attack. He wastes no moves. In this game, the last combination where he was able to capture the h8 rook is my example, but I get this impression from almost any of his games. Yes, we know he is perhaps the most aggressive player ever, but when you play his games, it is almost as if he has an extra piece, like having 3 bishops. And, when he is forced to retreat a piece (which is rare) that piece goes somewhere where it defends a different piece which can now take part in an attack. Tal always seems to be a piece ahead and (at least) 1 tempo ahead. You rarely see a piece just sitting on a square doing just one thing. It always has one or more purposes.
Tal had an excellent understanding of the value of space. He prepares the board for attacks that are generally initiated by sacrifices, evaluating which ones will work and which ones will not. He also had the ability to calculate quickly and his tactical vision was off the charts.
Mato, thank you! Excellent choice of games and fantastic presentation.
I enjoy your commentary a lot sir, thanks for those games!
A friend told me a story that Paul Dirac rejected an entire set of innovative equations in quantum mechanics because they were "ugly" in their description. Tal, similarly, seems to thrive on beautiful ideation in chess. To the best of my understanding, I enjoy his Chess so much.
gratitude62 !
The auto generated subtitles are great on this one!
+Eric Miller Hahah
I love your videos Mato, but I love double when Tal is in your video!

Why is Tal the greatest attacking Grandmaster?

Thank you so much :)
Mr. Maruf, there is already one and a nice one. By the way, which country are you from?
Don't get it, he's only down a knight at the end, why resign?
exactly!
In the Grandmaster's level, being a knight down is a huge divantage.
yeah, just look at tal, he's a queen down and still wins the game
Coz its TAL
Nice game Mato, thank you. I think that Nxf7 is winning too. What do you think?
at 6:54 critical move, I think tal should have taken black pawn on f7, forking black rooks. what you guys think?
Love me some Tal, that dude is a genius!
I've never seen a successful h6 g5 sicilian work against a strong player. It's a bad line I think...
In this case both the king side and queen side pawn structures were damaged. No matter where his king went the king wasn't safe. From what I see I don't think Larsen gained anything at all from h6 g5.
4:54 Best move for black: Knight to G4. Threatening Queen to H2 Check Mate?
Good Job Mato! What is name of your chess software?
Brilliant.
Amazing
When I grow up, I want to be like Tal.
Everybody wants to be like Tal. Good luck
In my oppinion, at 4:20 Bg5 is better than Nf6.
Why didn't Tal play Knight to F7, forking the rooks?
Tal amazes me every time. So simple that it cannot be seen by mortal men...
Nice game!
Tal is a class on his own.
Why is Nxd7 better than Nxf7, forking the rooks? Since Tal didn't do it, I'm sure it isn't, but why?
Magical....
There's no doubt for me: Tal is my favourite chess player of all time
Tal is the most exciting player in the HISTORY of chess.
idol
What opening is Tal playing?
+bigboy gil A standard E4 openiing. No name for it that I know of.
+bigboy gil It's a Najdorf Sicilian defence.
+arupian666 that is black playing tal is white and playing king's pawn opening that can later transpose to other openings
the moment after castling when you feel safe and then its over in a few moves lol
Opponent trying so hard to protect the queen and still lost anyway.
Wish I was as good as Larsen; then I’d be able to say: “ Sorry Tal, can’t play you today, I’ve got a headache.
Tal was amazing!
I saw lot of games most of the time black played scisiliyan defence and lost the game so why they chose this defence
This defence is not strong according to me 🤔
dat Game over.
good
I didn't like this game, not enough sacrifices.
We can't believe he is Tal when we don't see more sacrifices, I agree.
Hello
Bent Over
Hi
Bent larsen went straight.
Mato rules
I think Larsen quit too soon.
He Bent but did not break.
+Michael he's down a whole piece---if a knight is 3 pawns and you lose this against a very good player---
+mrajczyk I like chess and I understand the argument, but that is not a hopeless position with forced moves. But of course, this is how chess players think. My wife works for a biotech and her CEO is a club level chess player. He often hosts chess tournaments on campus for young, budding chess masters. The scientists always note how rude and self-centered these kids are and combined with how chess players talk about chess and resigning, I highly doubt that they'd be successful in anything else in life other than chess -- and it's only because they're always playing against opponents who will give up once they're at a disadvantage.
+Michael
Once you play enough chess with good players you will realize "Never quit" thing doesn't work in chess.
I don't believe in never quitting in chess. You put it in quotes as if I wrote that, but I simply don't. I think it's very reasonable (if not good!) to resign when you're in a clearly hopeless position with forced moves. But there are games where a player blunders away a bishop after the 6th move and resigns. That's just being a loser.
