lol Interesting that Tal and I have made the same mistake. Only difference is I make that mistake in the current position on the board, rather than visualizing 10 moves in the future.
Like the joke about the child predator who takes the child into the forest, and says "you think YOU'RE scared? I'm going to have to leave these woods ALONE!"
@@medexamtoolscom well it's nothing like that at all really. It's about giving your opponent obscure positions to deal with hoping they crack under the pressure and time pressure and play a bad move as opposed to rape and murder
I love Tal!! 1. I love the passage from the book,the hallucination over the board; Tal is always a human being first. He never stopped being a human, a humble poet, a servant of art, whatever his standing in the chess pantheon. 2. I love at 9:33 hearing you say " Tal doesn't want to risk it". Doesn't want to risk drawing with three pawn islands against 4 pawn islands and doubled c pawns! The category "what Tal considered a risk" is one of those wonders of the world which endeared him to chess fans forever. I watch this series as if we don't yet know the result of the 1960 championship. Thank you.
One time Agadmator wanted to buy an very old house. But he was scared, because he heard, that there should be ghosts in the house. So he asked the owner, if there were ghosts. The owner answered: no, I already live 500 years in this house. But I haven't seen any ghosts in this house.
Tal hallucinated over the board... I very much appreciate both players for really fighting it out in every game and not looking for easy draws. Many thanks for this great analysis!
#suggestion I would really enjoy if you made Kasparov's path to world champion like you did with Tal. I really enjoyed this series (I still do) and I would truly want to see more of the similar player 'paths' like this one. Thank you in advance, and as always, love your content, you are truly amazing. Proud to be your countryman!!
Well I'm old enough that that one I followed in real time ! 😁 No internet at the time, and no cable TV with so many channels that you would have had a chance to have a transmission of chess match on it, but that now forgotten feature on TV that was teletext, and they managed to fit a chess board in ascii art inside !
Beautifully explained as always agadmator, "hallucinating over the board" haha!!...Can you imagine the pressure the players were under,...it's the world title, the slightest slip and you lose, nowhere to hide on a chessboard!
Tal was seeing ghosts in this game. That’s ironic. Usually it’s Tal’s opponents are the ones seeing the ghosts. The magician from Riga is my favorite chess player. 😃
even i was hallucinating while watching, i even paused the video n was wondering how in the seven heavens it is a checkmate with the black knight protecting the h7, i felt like tal for a moment there 😂
Your comment about reaching move 38 and not being able to see everything is notable. Fischer said he used his advantage in physical and mental endurance to win many of his games. He simply stayed more mentally alert and "in the game" because of his superior endurance. This won him many games throughout his career.
It's 1:31 a.m. here in my country and I was about to sleep but I had a hunch that u might do another Tal video... I checked my fone and there it is...keep it up Tony it's always a pleasure :)
The funny thing is that if for some reason Botvinnik had the same idea and did the "checkmate", Tal would probably take the Queen precisely with the black knight that was "defending" it.
How lucky are we to live in the age of internet and agadmator? Being able to enjoy high quality chess with background informations and dry humour... Canˋt get any better.
At 14:25 knight to f4 would've been better for tal. White will either lose both queen and knight or get check mate...or if g2 pawn moves to g3, black night can move to e6 with an attack on white queen, also guarding the g7 pawn. Plus the discovered attack on white's knight. White queen can obviously take a pawn but still i think a queen, a knight and bishop can stop a passed pawn easily. I may be wrong. Bdw i love your introduction i.e " Hello everyone!!"
I would really like the subscriber count to move quicker! Can we all have a unified push to at least like every video? I hope at least a few of you are with me!
He explains shortly after that Tal was mistaken and thought the black knight was actually a white knight in this position. One of the events Agad said tal was 'seeing ghosts on the board'.
Tal was actually incredibly humble for admitting his bad calculations. Nothing was stopping him from never even mentioning that, however he still told the truth.
Kasparov for Tal- he was the only one I knew who didn't calculate the variants, he saw them. An ordinary man has to calculate, to think this through, but he just see it all. It occurs in great musicians, great scientists. Tal was absolutely unique.
In those day, if the game is continue from last position on next day, then if players agreed on draw.. then would next game start on the same day or on next day??
If a game was adjourned it would take place the next day in most cases. Although I once adjourned a game for dinner. The rule in the 60s was something such as 5 hours or 6 I forget or 40 moves whichever was first. Then the player to move had to make a sealed move that only he or she knew. The adjudicator or director would keep the envelope until the game was resumed. Some very great games arose because of adjournment analysis. It was also possible even with all the time to overlook a move which I did once missing a move that was not a direct threat but enabled me to win a Queen and then there was a fork which won my Q and I was material up...I had more material but I lost. My opponent was a young woman at our club (int he 80s).
Antonio, I haven't seen this latest video yet but I wanted to ask how come you never ask us "what's the idea here?" Anymore? That used to be your version of MatoJelic's "killer move!" Thanks for all your great videos.
Hi Agadmator, just wanted to give you a headsup that your playlist name "Tal vs Botvinnik | 1960 World Chess Championhip Match" is missing an "s" in "Championship". Keep up the good chess content! ;)
it's kind of a bummer that it took massive engines to change some of the opening theory. kinda wish some genius had just come along.. oh well. is there nothing left to really discover in chess?
At 7:45 of the video you are showing a position where the Black Knight has captured the white knight on e7 and then the white queen has followed this move by capturing the Black Rook on d8 with check. You then state that after some sort of block by black, that the White Queen follows this by checking on f8 which delivers checkmate. Did you mean the white queen delivers checkmate on e8 rather than f8 or did I miss something? I can only see the black queen blocking on e8. Thanks in advance for the response!
In the video at 5:08 of 17:31, I do not see the annotation working as shown in the video. Move 16...Nxe4, 17 Rxf8... does not work as the video shows a Nf2 for white. Please correct this.
Such a cool chess channel! Are you going to go through a championship match Botvinnik actually won(against Bronstein, Smyslov or Tal)? I consider Botvinnik a very interesting person and player as he managed to win back his title against several opponents.
Love it! But please please dont spoil the result before you show the game, for us who dont know our chess history this is almost like watching live on a stream with a GOAT commentator!
at 3:35 why couldn't mikhail play knight g5 instead of bishop d3? It attacks e6 pawn and also threatens checkmate qh7. The dark square bishop is protecting the knight. How would you stop this?At 6:18 agadmator mentions this checkmate in a different variation
In my opinion,this is one of the few channels that can provide quality entertainment for more than 10 minutes
if the person likes chess.
True.. : )
I hate chess but I just come here for his awesome voice.
Tal could achieve an impossible checkmate with just a stare.
i agreed
And there I was staring at the thumbnail thinking "how on Earth is this checkmate"
Well you can bribe opposite knight.
That's me asking that very same question every time just before I'm mated: "how on earth is this checkmate"😆
@@GaganSingh-nx2yv and king
In this game Tal took himself to a deep dark forest where he saw 2+2 = 5

Tal looked like a drunk guy driving a Ferrari at 120mph
Kinda, like Al Pacino in the movie “scent of a woman” when he’s driving the Ferrari
totally incredible
There are good chances that he was drunk during this game!

This is amazing!!! and its is even more amazing to those who have read "Tal-Botvinnik, 1960 by Mikhail Tal" you do capture the essence.
one of yours best videos, not only providing historical context but also showing "computer" moves. this is why yours is the best chess channel
Tal was seeing ghosts in this game. That’s ironic. Usually it’s Tal’s opponents are the ones seeing the ghosts. The magician from Riga is my favorite chess player. 😃

Why is it checkmate?
It's not, Tal thought (hallucinated) that the white knight was in the g5 position
Your comment about reaching move 38 and not being able to see everything is notable. Fischer said he used his advantage in physical and mental endurance to win many of his games. He simply stayed more mentally alert and "in the game" because of his superior endurance. This won him many games throughout his career.
13:39 “ the knight on f5 is pretty much doing the same thing as it was on e8, except for much more “ classic Agadmator 😆
4:46 It's nice to know that GMs of even Tal's caliber are still only human.
I almost had a reason to close UA-cam this time, thanks Agadmator!
While I only play chess 2 times a year, I enjoy this channel immensely. My favorite pleasure is Samuel Lloyd's chess problems.
It's 1:31 a.m. here in my country and I was about to sleep but I had a hunch that u might do another Tal video... I checked my fone and there it is...keep it up Tony it's always a pleasure :)
Can you believe it? How do we deserve these uploads 😍
Another One!?
The good thing about these draws is that we get to see more great chess.
@11:31
If you take the Night (Bxd5), you can always retreat the Bishop (Bg8) after Qc8+. That was the main reason Be6 was played....
I love his nonchalant attitude, makes it that much better
Beginning chess player here. I really like how you present games--very quickly and with dense exposition and commentary.
The funny thing is that if for some reason Botvinnik had the same idea and did the "checkmate", Tal would probably take the Queen precisely with the black knight that was "defending" it.
this guy is flash I mean I say this in every video and this time I am really shocked and well happy

5:54 how is that checkmate?
He explains shortly after that Tal was mistaken and thought the black knight was actually a white knight in this position. One of the events Agad said tal was 'seeing ghosts on the board'.
Those were the ghosts and hallucinations on the board that he mentions shortly after, if you listen to the analysis and explanations.
not check mate 5:30🤣
It's not, and that's the whole point. Way to pay attention to the video
@C Lopez "are you are" guy is trying to be clever. Get down of your horse , he just misheard something
Game start at 1:10

Presentation is king .. same game . Lot of channels and this the best .
I’m confused at 5:45 would the Black’s Knight simply capture the queen? Getting out of check?
A SUPERB GAME!! Batlle of mind amid some inaccuracies. I enjoyed it
Great analysis. Really enjoyed that. Thanks.
With how fast Agad is at posting videos I half expected round 12 of the 2018 championship tournament
I've done that before more then I want to admit. I love that tal made me feel slightly less crazy lol.
Your accent is so soothing. Are you from Croatia?
He is

That paragraph from Tal's book was indeed a nice addition
Really enjoyed the novelty of directly reading from the book!
6:20 We have a lot in Common with Mikhail Tal,hallucinating over the board.😂😂 Perhaps am a G.M my self.
At the 5:45 mark, how is that Mate? Doesn't K to h7 take the Q? I'm a rookie, but I'm at a loss to see this.
I was thinking the same thing, but rewatch 6:10 it explains
I have seen almost all of ur videos but in this u look the most handsome and similar to linardo de capreo .

Other ghosts from this video:
7:33 - Queen captures on F8??
11:25 - After catching the Knight, Queen to C8 is terrible? Why?
Bishop would just retreat to g8 blocking the check lol. Agamator is smoking the strong stuff

Ta 6:08 time check from queen does not end the game as you said , the black king can take white queen
@5:43 as you said , how that position could be a check mate ? Black king can't cut white queen ?
Mikhail Tal: Doctor, I keep seeing ghosts on the chess board.

same question ..
