  • Mikhail Tal sacrifices a rook to start an attack on the kingside. However, his opponent defended very well and it seemed that Tal's attack failed. And then Tal's magic began - he made a mysterious quiet move, which at first sight didn't contribute to the attack. However, the mysterious move actually started the second wave of the attack and earned Tal the brilliancy prize.

    What I love most about Tal’s sacrifices is that he has this knack to allow the opponent a seemingly better position which they cannot refuse, so they willingly go into it believing that they surely the upper hand, and then get lost in the complications. Maybe this is exactly the point, Tal was willing to give up the objectively better position to the opponent if in return he could have a concrete plan and decent chance to confuse the opponent in the complications.

      you need to get out of the box. Avoid thinking how your "experience intuition tells you to think on things more logicaly. We are formated on what we live but logic its intemporal. Its not affected by culture or experiences. you are very probably more than 25 maybe more than 30 years old. We all see the great figures, or fiction movies. Fiction movies usually confuse geniality with experience. Old people are more prone to be "experience grandmasters" but geniality actually is greater when you are younger and when have more brain activity.
      You usually can see kids super smart but their ideas lack experience and observation. Its comon they will have a nice but absurd idea (resulting the lack of experience). When you get the best balance of both you reach your maximun intelectual performance.

    What is often lost to most chess fans is that the attack is based on a simple positional motif: the Karo Cann bad light square bishop. Tal isn't a tactical player as such, he is a positional player who resolved positional themes using dynamic tactical play. Magnus or Karpov, for example would exploit the same positional idea using a more quiter approach but the essential idea is the same.

    Tal had an extra layer of perception, more than other gm's, however great and experienced they were. Tal could often use that extra layer naturally to confuse his opponent who had regular parameters of perception.
    Other gm's could also find what Tal found, after long contemplation, but it was not so natural for them over the board.

    I suppose all greats make amazing sacrifices in one form or another, and upon examining the positions, one can understand the line of analysis, even though one has to but acknowledge the genius in seeing the line at the board. However, following quite a few of Tal's games, he often is different. There is no clear line, and one sits back and just thinks, 'Why did you play that?' In that, Tal perhaps is unique. However, he also made mistakes which prevented him becoming an established very top player, (though he was for a few months the world champion), but then I often feel that many of his games are the richest of any player. I am glad he played the way he did.

    • @chesswisdom
      @chesswisdom  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Thanks a lot for pointing this out. It seems I made a mistake in my analysis. If Black captures the bishop after Bxg5, White plays Kf6+ instead of Qxg5+ and wins. Thus, after Bxg5 Black must play Qg6 immediately, instead of capturing the bishop. In this case both, the knight and the bishop would be under attack. White can capture on h6, Black captures the knight, white bishop captures the rook on f8, and black plays Bf5 to take under control the c2 square and after the white bishop moves from f8, the black knight can come back into play via c2. White has 3 pawns for a piece in this variation, computer evaluates this position as +0.5.

      Black doesn't need to defend that at all because Nf6+ is not a threat after Bg7. If we assume black burns a move like b6 and white plays Nf6+, it isn't like the king is trapped and is forced to sac the queen. Instead, Kxg7 as the knight is no longer on h5 to defend the bishop. White just loses a piece.

    Holy hell. I tried translating this guys english into russian in my mind. Like, what are they struggling to say. I was unsucessfull. This guy's russian is equally boring. Maybe they are Polish, Idk.
    It's like a parody. Of chess, of english, of russian, of all the chess players.
    You, see, Tal, moves ,his bishop, to, capture the, defender of the kingside, after which the, checkmate, is ,inevitable,. Yea, we kinda all see that, except we got mesmerized by this guy's weird delivery. (I'm somehow sure he got a weird intonation/accent speaking russian)

    Today's chess would be so much more enjoyable to watch if they followed in Tal's footsteps. First 30 moves of theory is just plane boring, sorry but it's the truth
