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.
It’s good to know that leaving one’s queen to be captured is a sign of genius. For me it’s because I was so focused on another part of the board that I forgot but hey. Genius.
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
How can someone possibly dislike this.. Tal is one of the very few players who can make even the chess engines go crazy.. He indeed was a magician! The great Misha!!
It's 3 in the morning here in India and I'm smiling like a little kid. I was waiting for this video for so long. I remember I was so disappointed when I had searched for a video by GM Simon on Tal's top 5 moves. Thank you for doing this video ❤️
Last one was the best. Apparently a nonviolent, innocuous move but omg! what a flabbergasting advantage it brought about. You are doing a real chess service by introducing us to these tactical-marvels of all time chess prodigies. I just shouldn't say "thank you" but I'm truly grateful to you.
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.
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.
I usually pass on reviewing Tals games. His brain works in ways mine could never hope to imitate. It's great to borrow from the greats but he's got something that id have to be kidding myself to think I could recreate in practice.
Simon: Five of the most Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- *2000 years later* aaaaaaaaaazing moves of Mikhail Tal. Me: Exactly what I would say if I was saying how amaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- *2000 years later* aaaaaaazing Mikhail Tal is. Simon: yes
Ooh the move number 4 even stockfish failed to find and when I played the move manually then stockfish is saying mate in 16. Sometimes the great Stockfish also fails to find the moves of this Genius!!!!!!
I appreciate your style in all things I've seen of your work. I first met you doing a multi segment lesson . Clearly understandable, articulate, and then there's that killer red goatee LOL ! Thank you GM, I look forward to studying other things you choose to share. I'm a big Talk fan also. 😄
GM Simon Willuams - really enjoy these "Top 5" shorts! Ever think about Top 5 Danny Rensch Blunders? Also, glad Harry the H pawn is getting love from the Neural Nets.
So... set up a position which in itself is stronger than having a queen. Now to help us all remember Fisher: "Tactics flow from a superior position". Being able to judge when the strength of your position superceeds the strength of having a queen is the key. And in which situations is this true. Well it seems to be when you have two tactics waiting after the queen is sacrificed in order for to make these two tactics play out. So after the queensac and the first tactic has shocked the opponent, the second will not be something he or she is ready for.
There's still a rumor going around that in at least one game, Tal sacrificed his King and his opponent resigned.
😂
I didn't get it explain?
that was the most brilliant move ever played
@@satvik14805 it's a joke because sacrificing a king is impossible because checkmate wins the game.
@@ee8942 ah okay ty
Mikhail Tal: *starts playing*
His queen: *aight imma head out*
Hahahaha good one!
Very True ...Nice!!

It's ironically funny that you correct someone's spelling, while the first word in your comment is spelled wrong.
Tal: sacrifices the queen and wins the game.
Me: sacrifices nothing still loses the game.

Wow! Im Latvian and im proud to have such an amazing and magical chess player!
Tried following the direction and failed. I sacrificed my queen 4 times in a row that resulted in 4 blunders.
Gneo Z haha almost everything starts with a mistake. keep going maybe we will see another mikhail tal in the near future.
I really love these videos! Gingerbeard is one of my favourite GMs
Whenever i blunder my queen but still somehow manage to win the game : le inner me : " michael " tal
I don’t know but Tal’s chess board definitely looks bigger than the ones I’m used to playing on.. How is he that sly damn beast!

First queen sacrifice was most beautiful queen sacrifice i have ever seen 💜💜💜
Been waiting for this video since the start of this series. FINALLY
Simon: You were expecting a queen sac? I disappoint sometimes.
Me: Always
I am becoming a fan of Simon Williams; GREAT examples of Tal's brilliance!!!
clicked as soon as this came up in my notifications
I love GM Ginger
I usually pass on reviewing Tals games. His brain works in ways mine could never hope to imitate. It's great to borrow from the greats but he's got something that id have to be kidding myself to think I could recreate in practice.
Finally!!! please also make 50 best Tal's moves and rashid too if you can.
Simon: Five of the most Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- *2000 years later* aaaaaaaaaazing moves of Mikhail Tal.
Me: Exactly what I would say if I was saying how amaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- *2000 years later* aaaaaaazing Mikhail Tal is.
Simon: yes
What?
Levent K******** yeah Idk why I did this I just wanted to.
I am native Latvian citizen and would like to see more Tal's moves, please do 50 moves, as you said :p
The magician of chess, the greatest , inspiring young minds, amazing TAL. We need more on tal
Sacrifices: *exists*
Tal: I'll take your entire stock
Queen: I shall not be treated the way Tal treats me
Ooh the move number 4 even stockfish failed to find and when I played the move manually then stockfish is saying mate in 16. Sometimes the great Stockfish also fails to find the moves of this Genius!!!!!!
When Tal plays: Queen says Oh no
game with gulko was outstanding!!
my all time favorite player is mikhail tal💕💕💕
I just realized. A guy named Tal is playing in all the games!!!!! He plays a lot of good games.
Hey GM Simon Williams, please do a best 5 moves of Vishy Anand also. :)
People who dislike don't know who mikial tal is
0:04 What is a "Mikhael Taw" XD
He says towel
Thank you GMSimon Williams great video
I've also waited for this moment. My favorite chess player of all time.
Tal : sacrifices his queen on move 3
Me: resigns
Mikhail Tal: Is about to move his queen
His Queen: *Not again*
With Tal, it should have like Top 50 moves.
finally for god sake I've been waiting like for ever for the top 5 magician's moves
That first one was actually genius and he thought really far
Now do Tal's 50 best moves, there's enough material
I need a Tal part 2 immediately
Rumour has it they are casting Sean Bean as Tal's queen in an upcoming biopic.
6:57 It is a direct checkmate Nf6
at last a mikhail tal video, mikhail tal is the best, i was never bored in his games
I appreciate your style in all things I've seen of your work. I first met you doing a multi segment lesson . Clearly understandable, articulate, and then there's that killer red goatee LOL ! Thank you GM, I look forward to studying other things you choose to share. I'm a big Talk fan also. 😄
All were fantastic and genius moves
Mikhail Tal. The Ultimate “Oh no my Queen!”
"Who needs a queen when you are genius"...
In tal vs hjartarson tal was threatened by mate in one(actual variation) but tal rampaged and forced a resignation
I recently saw Tal's games and he is one underrated
I saw the first one and I was so amazed
Him: guess the next move
My 800 elo ass always thinking to sacrifice pieces for no reason
I love this series.
Very engaging video . Amazing work Simon 👌
Tal's all game is include great sacrifice,I think tal is the only player who sac a piece(most of time queen) in every game
Waited so long for this video. There should be a part 2
Thank you, sir. I appreciate your contribution.
everybody: queen is powerful piece, save it at any cost.
m tal: queen is a random piece, sacrifice it.
Agadmator: Mikhail Tal is up a piece.
Me: Wait. Thats illegal.
*Rule number 1: Never Accept Tal's sacrifice..*
Rule Number 2: If you reject his sacrifice you might be in bigger trouble.
Pls do a fifty!!! Tal is literally madnessss
Agadmator uses to say that Tal played for the crowd.
Tal: sacrificing everything and winning
Me: sacrificing everything and something being wrong, after that losing
GingerGM: Sacrifice
Me: hell yeaa
There was always a great logic behind every sacrifice made by "magician from riga".That's why he was also known as a tactical monster...
I've been waiting for this since forever
We want top 5 moves of simon williams
Michael Tal and Queen Sacrifice are synonyms.
I was waiting for it
I love Mikhail tal
Love this video. It is not for a mere mortal like me to see Tal's moves.
Finally y’all made a video about Tal
1:40 bishop from black was the brilliant and that move that made by tal was inacurracy
Cant wait for the 5 most brilliant moves of GM Simon Red Beared Williams !
I guess it's not the flashiest, but honestly Nf4 against Botvinnik in the 1960 WCC match is one of my favourites. God I love that game so much lmao
These videos are a delight! It's like the dessert of watching chess
Is that an afters thought?
There's a rumor that GM who was playing in a tournament, immediately resigned when he saw he was going to have to play Tal.
For the last example, I just saw any of the horseys immediately jumping onto e5
7:00 I prefer Nf6+ over Rf7. After the forced Kf8, Rf7++ is mate.
GM Simon Willuams - really enjoy these "Top 5" shorts!
Ever think about Top 5 Danny Rensch Blunders?
Also, glad Harry the H pawn is getting love from the Neural Nets.
My favourite player of all time after Alpha Zero.
Tal is my favorite chess player as well
Queen: Am I a joke to you?!?!?!
Wow. These moves are magnificent
