    There's still a rumor going around that in at least one game, Tal sacrificed his King and his opponent resigned.

  • @vladavasiljev
    @vladavasiljev 3 роки тому +11

    For new ones in chess, Tal wasn't only the 8th World Champion, but he also won World blitz championship in 1987, when he was in really bad health condition. He defeated Kasparov in his prime a few months before his death. But he had negative score against super solid defensive and positional players like Keres, Petrosian, Botvinik, Korchnoi, etc... His tricks simply didn't works against them. Besides of that fact, he remains the most attractive player in chess history.

  • @Noles4life77
    @Noles4life77 Рік тому +15

    The thing I love most about his games is that his middle game positions and sacrifices look absolutely insane and disgusting, and then when the dust settles and the position simplifies he is winning by being up a pawn. Very poetic

    • @jamesdelb6885
      @jamesdelb6885 3 роки тому +3

      When masters play, or in cases of great players and Grandmasters, the chess board becomes a vast wasteland where pieces astonishingly show their ability to work together in order to open lines, allowing other pieces entrance into the attack on the opponent's King.

    • @georgepantzikis7988
      @georgepantzikis7988 3 роки тому +2

      It's because of Tal's chess philosophy: complicate and they will blunder. He was incredible with tactics so he could afford to play on many parts of the board at the same time and create multiple threats. That, combined with his extreme attacking style made his opponents take very long to think of responses and get trapped in their heads, calculating crazy tactical lines that he may not even have seen. And with all that pressure, when they played a bad move Tal relentlessly attacked, forcing the position in his favour.
