Tal saw the game different then the rest if us. Fisher is my favorite, but Tal in a class alone. If I could play like anyone and see the game like anyone, it would be Tal.
I had forgotten about this game. I remember when it was analyzed at the time and what struck me was how Kasparov strangled Karpov's kingside development. Great choice dawg.
John, or anyone, could you please explain what white's continuation would be at 4:59, after the hypothetical continuation--Black plays Bg7, White plays Bf7+, Black plays Kf8, and then White plays Bh6. What is white's continuation if black simply plays Bh6? Black's king is horribly exposed, which is never good, especially against Tal, but I don't see a clear way to increase the pressure (i.e., to continue the attack). If white replies with Qh6+, it seems as though White now has only his Queen for the attack, which obviously is insufficient, and Black's pieces, including his queen are close by to assist in defense. Thanks John for a great channel, and to you or anyone else that has a good answer to my question. 🙂
Really like your stuff John, please keep it up, especially all the Bobby stuff. I think he is the GOAT given how he destroyed the Soviet Empire of chess all by himself--didn't trust anybody but that is another story!
@@mitchelllevine5664 That's certainly a candidate --"just a pawn outplayed by a dominating queen." hehe But the clue was in the video title. Elton's first No. 1 single in the UK, which came in the 80s. [His duets not counted.] "Sacrifice'
@@mitchelllevine5664 It was a top 20 hit in 1990 in the USA and has been played a lot on the radio since. Check it out on UA-cam, see if it rings a bell.
I too play like that Tal sometimes, but usually my opponent doesn't understand the brilliancy of my piece sacrifice and just take it without any compensation. Very weird.
Keep it up John! Love your vids :)
Grand Masterstein is one of the coolest names of all time.
Your videos are the best. Thank you for making them.
Great presentation; thanks.
Thanks for the beautiful analysis as well as the game.
Thanking you both.
Good stuff as usual John, thank you. Love how Tal manages to sac no matter what

Wonderful
Great game - very enjoyable! 😊
We love you, Chess Dawg
He's the best!!
Best queen sac mating attack of all time (IMHO): Eugenio Torre vs. Jan Timman, 1982, Slav Defense.

good stuff
Somewhere along the line it seems like Bf5 would have been a very useful defensive move.
hard not to go for sac lines when they look good even though they may not be 100% sound
Why not Kh8 instead of Kf8 @4:56, then after Bxh6, move Qf8? Or even if Kf8, Bxh6, Bxh6, KxB, then how does White make progress?
Tal's games are so great and complicated.
Tal...my favourite player due to games like these.

I figured out how to sacrifice at this point...but not more than that...
Edging attack
CHESS DAWWWWWWWWG
Trivia Q: What would be Tal's favorite song by Elton John?
“Somebody Saved My Life Tonight”

I like the old school players, but can you splash in some new games as well?
I think the content maker specializes in the content they make. You can look at Agadmator for new games
