0:53 ... try to imagine... you are a lucky one to play against tal in a simultan... and ... he takes a break on your board, smokes and puts all his ingenious thoughts in your game... amazing
My favourite chess grandmaster of all time in action. Rare moments and real dream of most chess players to have an occasion to play against him. I think to play with Misha it´s not a question if you win or lose. It´s a question if you survive! He was the greatest attacker of all grandmasters. He is still living in my mind. Respect forever!
some people look 50 when they die at 90, I just do not know them they've been in their body for 90 year doing what? some people look 90 when they are 50 but they've been doing incredible great things...on a certain moment they are leaving their body because they used it completely... I have a book with the 50 most beautiful LOST games of Tal!!! Even his lost games are still alive.....Tal never died....you still can play against him...with him... There's people who see an old man moving, I saw Tal playing chess...
Did you guys know that this is how old Tal' looked like when he was just about 50 years old? His contemporaries say he smoked 2-3 packs a day and drank too much alcohol. Take care of your body.
tennisblood Yea. Well to be fair he did have some serious issues with kidneys which almost caused him to die. But even after all the surgeries, after doctors told him that drinking alcohol is absolutely not allowed, he went and got drunk. I read this from memoirs by Genna Sosonko who knew him.
superbass340 No. No way. If you speak Russian or if you can find videos by searching for his name in Russian (Таль) you'll see him making some presentations and interviews where you can clearly see extremely aged face for a 50 year old. Very wrinkled and looks exactly what alcoholics and heavy smokers look like due to a lot of micro wrinkles and generally unhealthy look.
He WAS unstoppable! With the longest unbeaten streak of any tournament chess player then or since. The man was sound but used many psychological tricks to win games which is why people see him as wild and careless, sacking pieces left and right. He was sick and deformed from the time he was born, unfortunately if he stopped drinking and smoking he still would've died a very sick man.
Even though we consider those things to be not good they have some good characteristics. Tal was an artists and banning artists from drinking and smoking is like banning make up from fashion shows or movie sets. It just doesn't look good from someone who is "normal"
It was about the time that Tal came up to my board where I was running Deep Thought II in Long Beach where it co-won the event with GM Tony Miles. I am still wishing I could rewind time and have challenged one of my favorite personages (not just chess) in human history to a pair of games against the machine. It was within my control by I simply didn't. I was quite young and green.
I was VERY lucky to play Viktor Korchnoi in Vegas in 2007...he was 76...won the world senior next yr. I overlooked a win then overlooked a draw...but I was honored to play him...
Once in a while...here and there, many players happened to play a game a sacrificing a figure...BUT to play every singl game with lots of sacrificed figures that doesn't making sence at first...and to win almost all of them, it could only one particular person THE GREAT Mikhail Tal
There is no shame while loosing against magician "Mikhai Tal", At the age of 5 , he calculates 3 digits multiplications in his head easily, that's the legend is born.
Definitely he is not many of his most famous combinations and sacrifices have been found to be flawed and incorrect. If the played today he would never have become world champion
Why is it that on some boards Tal makes his move immediately, while on others he has to think for several minutes? Is it because the position is more complicated? Or the opponent is stronger, so Tal has to make stronger moves, which takes more time?
A cada tragada de cigarro, um lance. A cada gole de bebida, outro lance. E assim, Tal, como uma força da Natureza, via e respirava Xadrez. Jogando sem estar preso nas teorias, mas somente e tão somente, seguindo o teu coração. De tal modo que continuou indomável, ainda que debilitado pela boemia, continuou sem parar. E mesmo quando ele deu... o seu canto de Cisne, nem mesmo a Morte, foi capaz de separá-lo de sua maior paixão... o Xadrez.
59 Knights, 23 rooks and 13 queens were sacrificed in this event.
Those lucky bastards, the fat bishops survived the Magician?
That insane
and 40 cigarettes
👍👍👍

All of them must have been proud to be beaten by Michal TAL.
Bro, it's Mikhail not Michal

Beaten? The FM drew this game
@Harsh Raval Truth hurts, little girl. :)
The brown board guy must be proud of himself...he really made Tal stop and think
he is fide master not supposed to play in simuls together with amateurs
He s fm
@@Brian22-up3eu This is library.
na Tal was thinking of sacrificing some pieces
Учитывая что он-убежав однажды из больницы-обыграл на чм по блицу-Каспарова...
It is the first time that I see Mikhail Tal playing❤Very thank you😊👍
Me too
Yep! With that cigar on hand
Yeah bro. Me too!
0:53 ... try to imagine... you are a lucky one to play against tal in a simultan... and ... he takes a break on your board, smokes and puts all his ingenious thoughts in your game... amazing
i mean, he is named David lucky, he is lucky
Not sure what the smoking thing is all about but ya it would be cool to play him.But I would kick his ass because alot of his moves are unsound
One of the greatest and original thinkers in chess of all time R.I.P Mikhail...
Now I can die in peace.
amogh nath No. Don't die! There are countless chess games to play.
Yes!😊👍

There's people who see an old man moving, I saw Tal playing chess...

your comment is underrated
uh huh - lol
Brutal checkmate brutal Tal
When there's more dog-ends in the ashtray than pieces on the board you know Tal has demolished them all. Wonderful player.

StopFear: Yes it is shocking really. He looks about 70. Very sad.
im not saying you are wrong but with a fresher hair cut it wouldn't be as bad
No way, 70.... Rather About 98!

It's the 1st time seeing The Great Mikhail Tal playing The Chess himself. Very rare moment I guess and tq so much for this amazing content. Loved it.
Mikhail Tal. I wish he never smoked or drank and he was hardworking at chess. He would be unstoppable.
He WAS unstoppable! With the longest unbeaten streak of any tournament chess player then or since. The man was sound but used many psychological tricks to win games which is why people see him as wild and careless, sacking pieces left and right. He was sick and deformed from the time he was born, unfortunately if he stopped drinking and smoking he still would've died a very sick man.
yes but he'd play like karpov.
Even though we consider those things to be not good they have some good characteristics. Tal was an artists and banning artists from drinking and smoking is like banning make up from fashion shows or movie sets. It just doesn't look good from someone who is "normal"
Dawn Broker - ditto...
If he didn't drink and smoke he wouldn't be Tal.

Tal aged fast, he's only 17 in this footage.
shut up

Haaaassssss
You can tell he's good because he left the ashtray next to his board.
Looks like the event was filmed with a security camera
Aleks Stefani this is 1988,what did u expect.
they way he moves the pieces, so elegant
Anthony Kernich It s art.
best one is when he picks up that queen
He looks like a superhero with those hands
The Wizard of Riga,Mikhail Thal.
Jason M He does look like an insane sorcerer, recklessly casting all kinds of dangerous spells
Magician
@@catandfishfc Voldemort: Avada kedavra.
Tal: Checkmate.
There should be some kind of award for people who love this game so much that they continue playing it until their last breath.
Great, fantastic and immortal Mikhail Tal!!! Respect forever!!!
May be he dunk and smoked so much but this man was genius and very gentle-man I meet him in Montpellier in 1986!
How was he
You meet tal
One of the greatest chess players of all time!
I hardly think that such a blurred video will be viewed as a whole. Not even if it's a video of Mikhail Tal
To pull-off, a draw with Tal is something to jump about!
Legendary man and the chess player. Historic and invaluable video!
no doubt that tal is greatest and my favrate chess player...but its hard to see an old man working so hard....
Old man? He was 52 in 1988.
I was VERY lucky to play Viktor Korchnoi in Vegas in 2007...he was 76...won the world senior next yr. I overlooked a win then overlooked a draw...but I was honored to play him...
You are very right. I also felt the same. But what a great player....
Because he loved chess❤
No Fischer is the greatest but I do like how Tal doesn't do any calculating.
Thank you for the video... SIMPLY AMAZING
He had cigarettes for air pretty much
The MAGICIAN of Riga 🎩🌷
Wow interesting video, interestingly enough i will be playing in a Simul tomarrow with Mr David Lucky its going to be so much fun! cant wait for it :)
How was it?
Trotis Apple he lost in 2 moves lol
Once in a while...here and there, many players happened to play a game a sacrificing a figure...BUT to play every singl game with lots of sacrificed figures that doesn't making sence at first...and to win almost all of them, it could only one particular person THE GREAT Mikhail Tal
This guy will tell his grandchildren about the day he drew Mikhail Tal!
This footage is a masterpiece. THIS THE VIDEO!
The Claw was 50 years old here and looked like 70.
Finally i can die peacefully after watching this legend playing
Are u alive still...?
No
First time saw him actually playing 😍👍😊 Thanks!
HERE HE HIS!
THE GREAT TAL
He's so fucking badass, the way he smokes. I love Tal. R.I.P absolute legend.
Great Teacher displaying Skills at Chess.
tal was a smoking machine...
😂😂😂😂
Q DESILUSIÓN Q NO PODAMOS DEGUSTAR MÁS SUS TRUCOS DE MAGIA!!!
Its a shame we don’t have a board that shows us what is going on in the game

The greatest chess player of all time and definitely. MY favourite one
😇😇

Tal was addicted to his cigarettes
They shoul be proud to play against mikhail tal
Great footage of the best tactical player ever lived! (beside Fischer and Kasparov)
Kinda hard to make out what the pieces are on the video :/ Is there a text transcription?
It would’ve been an incredible honor to play Tal, simul or not.
In this game Mikhail tal blundered his bishop... But still drew the game.
It is not called a blunder, it is called an incorrect sacrifice :)))
Yup he’s a wizard alright! The cigarette just seem to appear from nowhere!!!
Viveu e morreu fazendo o que amava
Por isso é tão amado
whats up with Mikhails right hand? Are there fingers missing?
He was born with that hand and brain😊❤
What was the total score in the Simul? In my opinion after thought Tal IS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN HISTORY
FWCC1 Bobby fischer #1
Definitely he is not many of his most famous combinations and sacrifices have been found to be flawed and incorrect. If the played today he would never have become world champion
not by a long shot.
Joe Dorben Shut u'r fucking mouth,u know shit about chess.
Joe Dorben maybe Carlsen is better indeed. But he saced peaces and queens to create complicated games, where he outclassed everyone.
I felt so happy to see the legend of legends play
It’s amazing to see the greatest of all times
Very good video. Thank you.
Why is it that on some boards Tal makes his move immediately, while on others he has to think for several minutes? Is it because the position is more complicated? Or the opponent is stronger, so Tal has to make stronger moves, which takes more time?
you answered it already
I wish I would be there to play against tal...😞
@Tacotopia Chess The point is that getting to play Tal would be an amazing honor.
Il più grande giocatore di scacchi!!!
7:08 the player tries to press invisible clock haha
It becomes a habit after several tournaments.
Таль взял ход назад?
Grate video!
A cada tragada de cigarro, um lance.
A cada gole de bebida, outro lance.
E assim, Tal, como uma força da Natureza,
via e respirava Xadrez.
Jogando sem estar preso nas teorias,
mas somente e tão somente,
seguindo o teu coração.
De tal modo que continuou indomável,
ainda que debilitado pela boemia,
continuou sem parar.
E mesmo quando ele deu...
o seu canto de Cisne,
nem mesmo a Morte,
foi capaz de separá-lo
de sua maior paixão...
o Xadrez.
Viveu e morreu fazendo o que amava

I love when it looks like hes about to make a move but then takes a drag on his cigarette 😂
Is anything wrong with his right hand. It look disabled?
This is gold. 💕💕.
A fun video ... well done ... thanks for sharing ... East idaho
Tal be like:- bhai aya hy! Sabko hra k jayega.. 🤣😎
Is there any footage or photos of him *without* a cigarette?
Yes many
You are an excellent subscriber! So to say
lol the players are literally frightened while moving every piece
Tal at each board : so if i sac the queen now...
What happens with mikhail's right hand ??
why the same 3 boards ?
Because it's an amateur picture.
tal was great man and many many era goes but only few may tal.
god clinch early this great man from us...Mikhail u r so great no one can sit with u
19:39 did he resign? The fuck was that
I'd give an arm and leg to be there at this time and place. A master at work 🙂
Well, Tal sacrifies his lung to be there.
What was the final acore?
google: cognitive function declines with age
Mikhail Tal: i know, someone told me that 30 years ago
Marty Mcfly played very well against Tal
The magician from Riga doing what he does best
That claw!!
U really feel like sinking when after a long pause at the board beside u..he just move his piece on ur board in a second...
Nizam Sabereen yeah, that’s brutal lololol
Mikhail tal was very unique person in chess
Será que alguém ganhou do mago nessa simultânea? 😀😀😀
He drew Tal wow
What happens to his right hand
D ruangan itu boleh ngerokok?
I think he was given a different board so tal knows that's the strongest player there
I love tal
I know its not important, but I didnt know he had a malformation in the right hand
Me neither but I reckon it just makes him so much more badass.
True legend
