I can't believe he has offered so many sacrifices without losing any material, and at the end of the line, he would be the one up a rook... that is insane!
Analizing this game on lichess, it's far from over. Black can survive the attack. Unless you are a high rated player, stockfish 8 give you a beating either with black or white :-) Starting from 7:22. I suggest to give it a try.
Thanks for the good show. I think the players of today lack the ability to find the moves that Tal ddid as they study the openings too much and play not to lose. They need to study the games of Tal.
He had raw talent but the soviets encouraged young chess players. There were probably lots of books available. And then promising players would be selected for more formal schooling by masters. Chess was a very big deal in the Soviet Union.
I love Tal’s psychological approach to chess. He would take his opponents into deep, dark forests. I’m sure a large part of his success was due to his unpredictability. This worked very well in his first match against Botvinnik
How many people are known by three letters? Tal? Mao? Who else? And I don't mean dumb abbreviations like AOC. Amazing player. No wonder he is known as the Magician from Riga, being born in Riga Latvia in 1936. Tal won the championship in 1960 only 11 years after he played this game at age 12, being the youngest world chess champion ever at age 23.
Tal is quite a comnon name in Hebrew, even today. When I was brushing up on my Hebrew a couple years ago, in Duolingo one of the examples is. "Mozal tov, Tal" (Congratulations, Tal.) doesn't seem to reflect the developers love for this prodigious chess player from the past, it is just a common Jewish name. I can't think of two more different characters than Tal and Mao 🤣 In hebrew Tal is just two letters, Tet and Lamed, vowels are indicated for early students with diacritics called niqqud that indicated vowel sounds. I spent some time thinking about a three letter name that signifies another really famous person … I guess we could use King DVD, again, since Hebrew only uses consonants, though several letters (alef, heh, vav, yud, and ayin) do double duty as consonants and vowels. fascinating language. Cheers man
@@Brandon-a-writer interesting that it is a common name. I have not heard of another noteworthy person with that name. Chess is one of the top sports of highly intelligent people and Tal was one of the most gifted and legendary of all players.
No , the white will just take e5:f6, and the white will have sacrificed only the exchange for a good attacking position. You do not even need to calculate concrete variations , you trust that the position is crushing (at least you will manage to get back the exchange plus 1,2 pawns, for a winning endgame). I mean what will black do then? Take h7:f6 and shatter the pawns in front of the black king, allowing white the Qh5:h6 ? Or move the Re7-c7 and allow white to capture f6:g7 ? The a1 rook will join the attack in 2 moves, through f1, and also the Bishop from d3 and the knight from e3-g4 will help at the final blow.
every time i want to watch chess you make me happy
A genius 12 yrs old, too brilliant. Thank you post the game.
Beautiful kingside attack with Rf6. Thanks for your enthusiastic commentary also.

Tal is everyone's favourite player
What a great attacking game from a 12year old no wonder he became world champion.
Another caliber player from the past without computers.... Pure talent. Mr Attacker..... 🚀🚀🚀🧨🧨
Exciting game, great commentary, as pleasant to watch as it is instructive. Thank you!
Antonio of the channel Agadmator just celebrated the birth of a son, whom he is naming "Tal".
Excellent commentary, thanks!
The magician from Riga!
Insanely hard to calculate the lines after offering the rook sacrifice, holy hell
12 yr old Tal looks 37.
he drank a lot, because at that time in the Soviet Union, cigarettes were hard to come by.
@@DarkSideChessok damn, hence the stomach ailments probably.
That's because he'd already been drinking vodka for 6 years. (just kidding)
The camera adds a couple of years.
Thank you for this gem, Tal is ageless.
Thanks for this. Tal is my favorite chess player
Absolutely amazing chess by young Tal. Thanks John
A real treat this time. I love Tal's overwhelming offense! Great attacking chess! Thanks, CD.
Chess Dawg: Have you made any videos on the 1960 World Championship? There were some really great games by Tal on that one
I have seen that idea in a Bobby Fischer game. Did not know it was actually invented by Tal
Great video as usual mate!
Fantastic! Thank you!

position is an insult

You’re right self made master

Thanks for this amazing game. Tal was one of my idols when I started playing chess. Can you please analyze a game by Max Euwe?
Please make a video on a Petrosian king walk.

@@Brandon-a-writer All very interesting, safe that “Tal” is his surname.
Tal; Mao; God…
Amazing no doubt, Rook f6 can be surprise for anyone not exposed to, thanks.
06:59 ... hold on a sec...
... *but what if **_THE KNIGHT_** takes the rook ?? O_o*
Tal should be *LOSING* in this case, no ?? :O

Terrible opening/middle game by black, but he did keep it going as long as he could lol
