Nobody watches your channel to “just see the moves.” We watch for your extra trivia and commentary. Anyone could cover the moves, but you’re the reason we watch these videos! Forget the people who don’t like it, the extra stuff is the heart and soul of your channel, and nobody wishes to see it changed!

My father loved Tal. We discovered your channel during Covid times and it turned out to be a topic of conversation every single day. He in India and me in the US sharing games during our conversation and moves on WhatsApp. He particularly enjoyed the Tal and Fisher sagas. I lost him last year. How I wish he got to enjoy this lost masterpiece. Thank you for the trivia and stories. Context is everything and you are a wonderful storyteller.

Beautiful comment. This is what chess is about.

@preparedsurvivalist2245 Ай бұрын

The craziest part for me is how Tal is seemingly hanging pieces left and right, with only his attacking initiative on the enemy King sparing him the loss of more material. He cleverly unwinds his hung pieces with tempo as he balances defending his own king while keeping the pressure on his opponent. Then when the smoke clears in the endgame he's up a meager pawn somehow, as if this was all precisely calculated to give him a slight, albeit winning, advantage.

Thank you, for me it was an amazing game. The intro was well worth it too. The hapstance of the unlikely source, an unrelated recent movie, that Tal was both his own and his tutors achievement, and a record at that, and ofc any game with such a wild sacrifice is enough for anyone to fall in love afresh with chess.

Had Tal taken care of his health & was a bit disciplined then he would be impossible to beat !! Even GMs today cannot comprehend his sacrifices!! Truly a Legend & my favourite Chess player of all time !! Thanks a lot for all the Tal content

@tumunu Ай бұрын

I honestly think that Tal's medical problems were beyond what medical science had to offer at the time, and particularly in the Soviet Union. For example, I had ulcerative colitis in the 1970s. We now know it's an autoimmune disease, but at the time, nobody had even heard of autoimmune diseases. Nobody knew what caused UC. I asked, and the doctors would just shrug and say "maybe a virus." Now I'm really glad that science has progressed, and today's UC (and Crohn's) patients have options I never had, but I would take issue with anyone who said that the reason I haven't had a large intestine for 45+ years is because I wasn't taking care of myself. Not only did I not know what was really going on, but the new immunosuppresive drugs that target IBD hadn't been invented either. Your thoughts about Tal's brilliance are spot-on. He was a legend in so many ways. I once heard about this one time where he was picked up and thrown in the local drunk tank overnight in the middle of a tournament, after the first day's 40-move round. When they realized it was Tal they picked up, and they were Russian (i.e. all chess players), and his tournament status, the story goes that his very jailers stayed up all night with him, analyzing his position! This is what I call stone-cold hero stuff.

@omarimartin9502 Ай бұрын

@aronuchukwuezugo615 Ай бұрын

I doubt though. Now there are modern engines that players can use to refute his sacrifices

@tumunu Ай бұрын

@@aronuchukwuezugo615 Well, Tal played before there were computers. He did what everybody did in his time. His main tactic was to move away from established lines quickly, and complicate the position, and look across the table and metaphorically say, "in the next five hours I'm going to crush you with my raw chess-playing skill" and he usually did, until his health problems got him. I'd also like to mention, since he was still around was I was younger, that Tal was beloved by the entire chess-playing world, not just in the Soviet Union. I'm sitting here in the USA and the Cold War is swirling around me, and everybody still loved Tal. Americans no exception.

This game reminds me of the games I play these days, where it starts with theory and then evolves into a complex middle game with amazing attack and defending ideas, the top engine moved being found again and again, followed by a win as a result of being a pawn up while having a better position. And then I woke up.

#suggestions: Smyslov vs Tal, 1964 USSR team championship. Tal demonstrated brilliancy in every aspect of the game. Tal neutralised opening idea of Smyslov. In the middle game, Tal sacrificed Queen for only a rook ( not even any minor piece), Smyslov gave back queen soon. Then came the endgame where Tal methodically converted bishop pawns vs knight pawns endgame. It would be a treat to everyone.

Great game and commentary as usual. And, as another poster correctly noted...we watch your channel for your sound analysis, AND wonderful tidbits that you share about the history of the game, tournaments, the players, and other things. If someone just wants to see the moves...that's fine and their choice, but they're missing SO much more and I think will be worse off as individuals and chess players for their decision. I've subscribed since I first found you about four years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. My only slight criticism/suggestion for this video is that in a few parts, especially later in the game, you went rather fast, with both the moves and talking. I know we can always pause or "rewind", but it just seemed rather fast for you. Thank you for a great channel!! All the best to you and your human and animal family, from a fan in the US!

I've also been looking for a Tal game that i actually saw in THIS CHANNEL! I think it was some 2-4 years ago, I only remember that Tal played a very strange opening in a fast game against someone and the guy said: "Of course you used it in a fast game. I'd like to see you try in a classical". And so, once they played again, Tal used that same strange opening and won the game as well. It was something in the queen's side. Some time ago I went to your db and I spent an afternoon looking for that game, but wasn't able to find it.
