Mikhail Tal shatters the Sämisch

Featured is a game between Milko Bobotsov and Mikhail Tal from 1958. In reply to Tal's King's Indian Defense, Bobotsov opts for the Sämisch variation. We observe a case of opposite sides castling in this 30-move encounter. Nowadays it is not so popular a decision for white to castle queenside. There is an important idea to take away from Tal's play in the middlegame. A familiar tactic by white in attempting to take advantage of Tal's unprotected queen on a5 severely backfires in this game. Mikhail Tal is not the retreating type!

Tal sacks his queen, still gets a 95% accuracy. Very fun game and I loved the commentary; what a guy that knight was :)

That sacrifice is crazy. Great game. I'm sure 99% of players would just return the queen to D8

Happy 16th, cher Monsieur Jerry. In th 60s, I studied Tal in the descriptive notation. QN-Q2 B-N2, N-K4 Q-B4, BxQP Q-R4, N-B6 ch PxN, PxP R-N1. All those books kept in closed containers. I enjoyed the good years over the chess board. Now, my brain cells are being moved in awkward fashion which will lead a disposable humble pawn to its rational path.

Interesting to note just how many positionally motivated queen sacrifices happen in the King’s Indian, Bronstein’s sac in the Saemisch, Kasparov’s sac in the Petrosian, and Nezhmetdinov’s brilliant sac against Chernikov just to name a few

before the game, Tal and Bobotsov played several blitz games, Tal sacrified his Queen in the same position and won. Bobotsov said this was good only for blitz, so he was surprised when Tal sacrified his queen in this long game.

As a young chess player at my school chess club in UK, Michail Tal was my hero of the chess world - so nice to see his games again and this one with queen sacrifice is so typical of his ability to see opportunities other players would not. Solid defence gives the springboard.

I think it's a bit sad that people stopped playing the samisch the way it was meant to be played and just make it extremely boring. I remember my games as black in the samisch were always extremely fun to play with amazing sacrifices and crazy sharp play

Jerry after Nxd5 what if white just played cxd5? It looks like this keeps the b-file closed, and if Qxd2 Rxd2 the endgame is good for white because if black pushes c4, there’s a huge pawn mass in the center, and if cxd4 then Nxd4 and c6 square is a big hole for black (which wasn’t availible before Kb1 b5 was played)

9:00 Jerry says the best move for White is *18.Ne2* , but that seems to allow the tactic *18...Bb2!?* after which *19.Kb2* loses the queen to *19...Nc4+* .
