      I know right? It's not as if he's playing obvious queen sacs, like giving up the queen for an immediate forced mate in 3 or a simple combo trading the queen for a rook and two pieces. We all have plenty of those. But complicated queen sacs like these ones from Tal are once, maybe twice, in a lifetime for the rest of us, including most GMs, and Tal has enough for a top 5. Incredible!

      @halfaheartbongobongo 3 роки тому +3

      Truueee - most GM queen sacs have very concrete compensation, either mate or a ton of material (rook + minor pieces). The first three games here involved extremely dominant passed pawns, and okay that's somewhat concrete although you still have to calculate so much to see it. The latter two games here are especially amazing to me, because the only real compensation in them is an extremely harmonious attack.

    Tal was the necessary revival of romantic, attacking style chess. He brought a much needed resurgence of energy to a game that was otherwise going a bit stale. Before Tal, the predominant thought was that there was a right way to play and a wrong way to play, and sacrificing material simply to create complications and counterplay was considered the wrong way to play. That was the way that Mikhail Botvinnik and the entire Soviet School of Chess thought. But then along comes this crazy kid from Riga, who is sacrificing for the initiative and creating complications, and he not only destroys everyone, he plants himself firmly as the dominant player, even winning the World Chess Championship match of 1960. He single-handedly proved that the days of the swashbuckling playing style weren’t quite over.

    The first sacrifice did give him compensation within 2-3 moves only. He got an immediate knight, followed by pawn and a guaranteed rook. So, he got equal compensation in terms of point value + open board for his bishops to operate on. Legendary.
