Asking us to pause the video and try to find the best move has helped me immensely with my chess. I've been getting the correct moves a lot more often and have been winning most of my chess games. Thanks Mato!
Becoming more and more fascinated with Tal's style of gameplay. Also loving the fact that he looked like a mad scientist or crazy villain that always comes up with some mad-genius plan.
Just a mind blowing attack.. Tal was a chess genius and I'm a solid 1930 player. But he makes me look like a beginner. Tal was unreal. Thanks for the great videos Mato, I subscribed. God bless you. :-D
Sorry for a mistake. Thank you for correcting me. Note has been added to the video clarifying the issue: Game was played in former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
Your videos are short and snappy and expertly narrated with that charming accent of yours. I think you have the best chess channel on UA-cam. Happy New Year!
belki 1 yıldır videolarını izliyorum. o kadar içten o kadar güzel anlatıyor ki. satrancı sıkıcı bulabilen insanlar bile zevkle dinleyebilir Mato'yu. ayrıca ingilizceyi biz türkler gibi vurgulayarak konuştuğu için anlamakta hiç zorluk çekmiyorum. :)
Mihail Mihailov: On the contrary: If the *late* Tal sacs against you, RUN! (Later, if you survive, try to figure out why you were playing against a skeleton in the first place.)
in Turkish ve pronounce (and also write) Makedonya with "k". but you might be right about while speaking English we should pronounce it with "c". anyway, another great video from a great chess teacher. thank you so much Mato. salutes and greetings from Turkey.
Tal taught us all sooooo much......There have been other great attacking players: Morphy, Anderson, Janowski, Ossip Bernstein, Bogoljubov, Spielmann, Alekhine, just to name a few, but NO ONE crystallized "Attacking Chess principles like Tal...He set the bar and changed chess forever....EVERYONE that plays chess owes a tremendous debt to Misha Tal, regardless of their own style of play.. He is simply put the "Poet Laureate" of chess. Thanks Mato so much for still another imnstructive asnd entertaining masterpiece Happy Holidays Mato and everyone else
A "routine brilliancy" from Tal. He's played so many similar attacks that they eventually ceased to be a surprise. Timmann probably knew what was coming.
i like tal's offensive style a lot, he is one of the players with most fantasy, but how was his defensive play? was he as good when playing black or when he had to defend?
Really? They pronounce it with a hard "c"? Well I learned something today. I already knew Pirc was pronounced "peertz". I am a little OCD about words, but I am a lot entertained by your videos. Keep them coming please. Thank you.
In my version of the 'KIlla move' I was thinking first to capture bishop on g7. Black wouldn't have many options after that. If black pushes pawn to g5 , Nf3 would capture it (sounds like a Tal sacrifice) and black would be in big troubles. Not to mention, if black king captures bishop on g7..then rook takes Ne5. What do you think Mato?. Great video!!..thank you.
Tal played in Skopje !?Wow did t know that ..one of the greatest chess players played in my city :D lol ...Now about this game when you said we rich critical point :S (i was whole like how , what , totally confused )..anyway a great game and really instructive chess game pozdrav !!: ))
Mato, did tal ever work on an opening line idea so much we could call it tal's opening/line? or come up with any replicable traps? such as the fischer trap as an example of fischer doing so
I actually found the move Rxe5, feeling quite smart. I thought it would deflect the pawn making Ng5 possible and sticking with the plan of mating at h7.
I pronounced Macedonia the way Slav Macedonians pronounce it. And pronounced Pirc the way man (Pirc) himself pronounced it. And thank you for a compliment
Looked at this for about 5 mins and didnt pick up the rook exchange. Even after the exchange I was struggling to see how Black couldnt trade their way out of the situation! Brilliant Chess love it!
In alot of the Tal games I've seen, Tal is always capturing knights and bishops with his rook in exchange for a better position. He apparently relies on his rooks to take out pesky minor pieces so his plans will work out more smoothly. Just a thought. :P
so i'm a big noob (obviously).. and i don't understand why he resigned..? if he would have moved the queen, would it have been an imminent way to end the game for Tal (my noob eyes can't see a fast mate after the rook is lost) or he resigned simply because he would have been one piece down and knew he would eventually lose? so what i'm trying to ask was if the decision to resign was made because a fast mate which i can't see was coming or just because he knew he can't win after losing the rook?
This really begs the question as to whether Tal ever played black. :P Also, Mato, as a request, in the future, is it possible to upload more games of black winning too? Regards from India. >:)
Pirc did not blunder but Timman blundered for not exchanging his Bishope against white's Night in f3 , the proverb says :" It's the singer not the song "! Thanks Mato for your excellent choice and comment !
Very much enjoy your videos. I think you pronounce names incorrectly sometimes on purpose as a little joke. Macedonia for instance. The "c" is a soft c, like an "s', not a hard c like a "k". Other commentators are right...you do have a very nice voice, which makes the learning more enjoyable. You also pick out very interesting games. Thank you.
+Jose Salazar there was another player he name was Rashid from Russia in the forties.He thought Tal how to play aggresively .that guy Rashid won the soviet championship 5 times
I recommend a book: “From Chess Novice to Advanced Player in 7 Days” This is a book worth owning. With the book you will get a password to online training site. You will be inspired and your chess will improve. You will beat people in chess you couldn’t beat before.
After watching like half a dozen Tal games from commentary from thechessnetwork and Mato I don't know why anyone would LET Tal have his F3 knight, two moves from that juicy F7 pawn he loves so much
mato, I know chess rules and how to play chess, but I don't know names of the openings and defenses :) I don't understand here why you say this is pirc defense and I see king's indian defense. Can someone explain me?
Asking us to pause the video and try to find the best move has helped me immensely with my chess. I've been getting the correct moves a lot more often and have been winning most of my chess games. Thanks Mato!
Thats the best motivation !
really the best chess commentary in youtube and the best parting message ever....
Thank you
Fantastic Mato Jelic! Thanks for keeping Mikhail Tal's legacy alive and showing us these instructive games!
Becoming more and more fascinated with Tal's style of gameplay.
Also loving the fact that he looked like a mad scientist or crazy villain that always comes up with some mad-genius plan.
Yeahh!
3 finger hand? Didn't know.
That's awesome. Definitely my favorite player now as well, haha.
I love the way mato explain things.
Just a mind blowing attack..
Tal was a chess genius and I'm a solid 1930 player. But he makes me look like a beginner.
Tal was unreal. Thanks for the great videos Mato, I subscribed.
God bless you. :-D
Sorry for a mistake.
Thank you for correcting me.

Its amazing and instructive how you can squeeze so much instruction into six minutes. You're a youtube chess gem, Mato. Thank you.
Your videos are short and snappy and expertly narrated with that charming accent of yours. I think you have the best chess channel on UA-cam. Happy New Year!
Hvala Ljepo na koplimentu.
Zivio Hajduk! Nadam se da dobro igra.
Pozdrav iz Adelaida
Tals deep vision is just purely insane. And his pure aggression really is so beautiful to watch :)
Gospodine Mato, zaista je uzitak gledati Vasa videa..Lijep pozdrav iz Splita!
belki 1 yıldır videolarını izliyorum. o kadar içten o kadar güzel anlatıyor ki. satrancı sıkıcı bulabilen insanlar bile zevkle dinleyebilir Mato'yu. ayrıca ingilizceyi biz türkler gibi vurgulayarak konuştuğu için anlamakta hiç zorluk çekmiyorum. :)
Typical Tal ... just a quick hint when playing against late Tal: when he sacrifises a piece, just resign, it will hurt less :)
Mihail Mihailov: On the contrary: If the *late* Tal sacs against you, RUN! (Later, if you survive, try to figure out why you were playing against a skeleton in the first place.)
Mihail, your first and last name misses a “k” because if you did, you can be either Tal or Botvinnik lol
in Turkish ve pronounce (and also write) Makedonya with "k". but you might be right about while speaking English we should pronounce it with "c".
anyway, another great video from a great chess teacher. thank you so much Mato. salutes and greetings from Turkey.
Thank you, short and sweet. Most people who review chess games get caught up in their own ideas and talk too much, you kept it to the point. thanks
Your series of Tal are great ! Thank you for uploading
Thank you for your comment
Oh yes, terrific attack. And very well explained, as always.
Thanks for the post Mato.
My name is Mato...it's like My name is Bond,James Bond..
I like your Channel very much.Short very Clear and precise.
I am enjoying the series of Tal games very much. Keep them coming!
Random realisation, the intro is from wikipedia unchanged.
Great videos Mato! Never get tired of watching your videos
Tal taught us all sooooo much......There have been other great attacking players: Morphy, Anderson, Janowski, Ossip Bernstein, Bogoljubov, Spielmann, Alekhine, just to name a few, but NO ONE crystallized "Attacking Chess principles like Tal...He set the bar and changed chess forever....EVERYONE that plays chess owes a tremendous debt to Misha Tal, regardless of their own style of play..
He is simply put the "Poet Laureate" of chess. Thanks Mato so much for still another imnstructive asnd entertaining masterpiece
Happy Holidays Mato and everyone else
love the way you brought up the right way of spelling this opening :) most people didnt know it!
wow
another great game posted by Mato. Thank you soo much for all your videos =D
And...i found the "killa" move!!! \o/
Good analogy Mato. It is quite clear that Tal is / was your favorite player. No shame there, he was a great one!
Pozdrav od Adelaide
A "routine brilliancy" from Tal. He's played so many similar attacks that they eventually ceased to be a surprise. Timmann probably knew what was coming.
what do I need to be a very good tactical player, beside to forecast several moves?
i m so impressed by Tal... his games are like art.. like a painting, transpiring to reality move by move....
i like tal's offensive style a lot, he is one of the players with most fantasy, but how was his defensive play? was he as good when playing black or when he had to defend?
Mato, Are there any good chess literature to buy? For instance any good books that you would recommend?
Really? They pronounce it with a hard "c"? Well I learned something today. I already knew Pirc was pronounced "peertz". I am a little OCD about words, but I am a lot entertained by your videos. Keep them coming please. Thank you.

Mikhail Tal is my favorite chess player... please keep up the Tal uploads!
Hi, Tal! Thank you for your posts! I have a question for you: What about Timman plaing queen to D7 at the end of the game?
Mato, did tal ever work on an opening line idea so much we could call it tal's opening/line? or come up with any replicable traps?
such as the fischer trap as an example of fischer doing so
Thank you for your very kind compliment
what a brilliant TAL 👍👍👍 thankyou mr. mato.. idol !!! 😬✌️
I'm loving these Tal videos. Even the Pirc defense is not enough to draw against Tal :D
Tal has a way of making grandmasters look like chess toddlers.... damn...
I actually found the move Rxe5, feeling quite smart. I thought it would deflect the pawn making Ng5 possible and sticking with the plan of mating at h7.
My favorite chess player is Tal..amazing game... Thanks Mato
Greatings from indonesian
I forget how long I have enjoyed your commentary. How long have you lived in Australia.
I pronounced Macedonia the way Slav Macedonians pronounce it.
And pronounced Pirc the way man (Pirc) himself pronounced it.
And thank you for a compliment
Looked at this for about 5 mins and didnt pick up the rook exchange. Even after the exchange I was struggling to see how Black couldnt trade their way out of the situation! Brilliant Chess love it!
3:16 What if black night move to c5, double attacking queen & bishop?
I had a book about 30 years ago called "combination chess" . I'm sure some of the games you've documented are in the book but I can no longer find it.
You need to contact Wikipedia to insure that they give correct information to a general public.
Maybe we may.
I am beginning to fall in love with Tal's chess play!
A work of high art & elevating to the mind.
Mato, can u please make a playlist just for Tal games
his tactics worth this
keep the good work
GL
its would help bring more light to the details of the game by listing the time controls. just a suggestion
In alot of the Tal games I've seen, Tal is always capturing knights and bishops with his rook in exchange for a better position. He apparently relies on his rooks to take out pesky minor pieces so his plans will work out more smoothly. Just a thought. :P
so i'm a big noob (obviously).. and i don't understand why he resigned..? if he would have moved the queen, would it have been an imminent way to end the game for Tal (my noob eyes can't see a fast mate after the rook is lost) or he resigned simply because he would have been one piece down and knew he would eventually lose? so what i'm trying to ask was if the decision to resign was made because a fast mate which i can't see was coming or just because he knew he can't win after losing the rook?
You can watch it now. Problem is fixed
This really begs the question as to whether Tal ever played black. :P
Also, Mato, as a request, in the future, is it possible to upload more games of black winning too?
Regards from India. >:)
So basically, overlooking the Rxe5 exchange sacrifice is what cost Timman the game? What could he have done to counter that?
can you do some games of Karpov?
Pirc did not blunder but Timman blundered for not exchanging his
Bishope against white's Night in f3 , the proverb says :" It's the singer
not the song "!
Thanks Mato for your excellent choice and comment !
Thank you

Us natives call it like that :)
Fantastic game. I wonder how much of that combination Tal saw in advance.
Tal games are all full of surprises.What a mind! I love all his games.When is going to be born another Tal?
30. November 1990
+Jose Salazar I was already born.
+Jose Salazar there was another player he name was Rashid from Russia in the forties.He thought Tal how to play aggresively .that guy Rashid won the soviet championship 5 times
Danil Dubov is trying to play like Misha
I recommend a book: “From Chess Novice to Advanced Player in 7 Days”
This is a book worth owning.
With the book you will get a password to online training site.
You will be inspired and your chess will improve.
You will beat people in chess you couldn’t beat before.
I feel good when I spot it too
why resign? black was in the lead after the exchange!
most great chess videos on youtube start with "Hi. This is Mato. In this video, i will show you a very instructive chess game..."
On move 16 after white plays Qh4, why black did not play Nxe5? if Bf4 then Nxe3 ch if Ng5 then Ne6
I like your presentation because it's no nonsense.
Well I certainly have changed my mind, Fisher used to be my favorite but after watching a few games of Tal...he is the MAN!
After watching like half a dozen Tal games from commentary from thechessnetwork and Mato I don't know why anyone would LET Tal have his F3 knight, two moves from that juicy F7 pawn he loves so much
Good Tal attack. Love your channel
Thank you. It will be fixed
mato, I know chess rules and how to play chess, but I don't know names of the openings and defenses :)
I don't understand here why you say this is pirc defense and I see king's indian defense. Can someone explain me?
The c-pawn. KID normally features c4 at some point. Generally pirc only has d4/e4, with attacking ideas on the kingside.
Great videos Mato.
Tal is a greatest attacker of all time and knows the art of gambit ....gr8 fam of him
Now that's some nice commentary. And a good game.
Good observation
"and now we have reached..CRITICAL position!" xD just gotta love mato when he says that. xD
Tal sir please come again...we all love you so much... miss you don...
Pozdrav od Skopje! :D
You are a beatiful teacher.
Tal calculated all moves over Nxc7 very long calculation before the exchanged sacrifice.
i love all your videos. still havent found one that i didnt like...
Originaly written Vasja Pirc -to read like Pirts.
He was a Slovenian grandmaster.
3:43 Genius move
LOVE IT MATO!!!!!
gracias senorita
hello Mato! Thanks
Not just good, mr Mato, very, very good.👏
katılıyorum. çok güzel anlatıyor
"check mate, or very similar" xD briliant
Tal no era un mago, sino la mismísima magia.
Kasparov said that Tal was the most talented player of all time;im starting to see why he made that statement.
Nice video Mato but it's not "Macedonia" . It's just Skopjie or FYRO"M" .
