    Lev Polugaevsky vs Mikhail Tal
    "Beat Noire" (game of the day Jul-08-2021)
    Riga Interzonal (1979), Riga URS, rd 2, Sep-06
    English Opening: Symmetrical. Three Knights Variation (A34)

    To have a challenger for World Champion Anatoly Karpov it was necessary to qualify eight players for the Candidates quarterfinal knockout matches that would be held in 1980. Viktor Korchnoi and Boris Spassky had qualified by having reached the Korchnoi - Spassky Candidates Final (1977/78). The other six players would qualify from two interzonal tournaments: Riga (this page), and Rio de Janeiro Interzonal (1979). From Rio, Robert Huebner, Lajos Portisch and Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian qualified.
    To play in the interzonals the players had to qualify from zonal tournaments. For the Riga interzonal, Miles had qualified from the Amsterdam Zonal (1978) tournament. Grünfeld qualified from the Lucerne Zonal (1979), Tarjan and Mednis from the US Championship (1978), Rodriguez from Ito Zonal (1978), Adorjan, Ribli and Gheorghiu from Warsaw Zonal (1979), Ljubojevic and Bouaziz from Praia da Rocha Zonal (1978), Tseshkovsky, Romanishin and Kuzmin from Lvov Zonal (1978) and Trois and Riemsdijk from Tramandai Zonal (1978). (1) Larsen and Polugaevsky qualified from reaching the Candidates matches in 1977. (2) Mikhail Tal from the host country had a wild card, which had caused protests in Russia. (3) Roman Hernandez was originally situated in the draw as no. 1, but on his failure to arrive his name was withdrawn and the draw was modified. Lubomir Kavalek had qualified from the USA zone, but due to an injury to a leg, while playing tennis as part of his physical preparation, he could not travel and his place was taken by Mednis. Vlastimil Hort withdrew at the last moment through sickness, and was replaced by Romanishin. (4)

    Lev Polugajevsky is an undervalued super GM, he was in the top 10 for many years.

    • @jessejordache1869
      @jessejordache1869 Před rokem +38

      I think he's rightly rated very highly by most people. The Polugaevsky variation of the Sicilian is one of many openings that at the highest levels hasn't survived the computer age, but as long as there's amateur chess, there's no reason it shouldn't thrive. For inventing and vigorously defending that line for decades alone, Polugaevsky deserves his high reputation, aside from his enormous strength as a player.
      If he's underrated, it's because he's one of the many players dominated by Spassky and Fischer in the 1960s, and by Karpov in the 1970s. Karpov's demolition of him in 1974 shocked everyone at the time -- including Karpov, who didn't rate his chances in the candidate's tournament very highly. The only player who did was Korchnoi, who at the start of the 1974 tournament famously predicted a Korchnoi v Karpov final. All the Soviet players made predictions for the final two, which were then sealed in an envelope only to be revealed once the tournament reached the finals; had Korchnoi's prediction been public, I think people would have wondered if he was joking.
      To bring it back to the original topic, Karpov and Tal are two players whose improvement during their respective climbs to the world championship astonished everyone. Every round they seemed to reach a new level, and by the end their play was so strong that they were unrecognizable from who they were at the beginning. The tragedy of it was that both of them never reached their potential -- Tal because of his lifelong health problems, and Karpov because of the lack of real competition for the next ten years. He was like the Carlsen of his time: so far ahead of his contemporaries that it was hard for him to find the proper motivation. I can't forgive Fischer for his withdrawal from competition in 1975, first, because we'll never know how it would have turned out and never see the games that would have been played, and second, because Karpov was denied exposure to the only player capable of truly testing his weaknesses while he was still young. Karpov himself played that role for Kasparov ten years later. Compared to Kasparov after the 1984 match with Karpov, Kasparov before the match was unrefined and often put himself in structurally dubious positions, which he was punished for again and again until he was forced to up his game.
      Anyway, sorry for the essay. Sometimes I just go off on a subject.

    #suggestion Polugaevsky vs Tal 1969 : lot of people analyzed it including Kasparov, Polugaevsky himself, and Geller's comments make the game incredible: he had visited Polugaevsky the day before and on his chessboard was the position reached on move 25, meaning it was a Caruana level of preparation without computer, what a madlads.

    Tal was my hero too. I started playing in the 60s and one of the things that I found impressive with Tal was how he reinvented himself in the 70s. He had a long unbeaten streak if I recall and won several strong tournaments. Characterised by quiet openings and the occasional positional win... but the tactics were never far away. Excellent video as always.

    7:24 why wouldn't Tal move QxF1 at this point? The King is forced to take, then Nd1 check, and you'll get his Queen for your Knight. You lose a Knight and a Queen for a Rook and a Queen. Surely a good trade, right?

      After Nd1+, white queen can go to f4, blocking the check. Then (black) Rxf4, Nxf4. You just traded a queen and a rook from each side, and there's no more attack from black.
      Besides, in this position, with all the pressure black has, you don't wanna trade queens unless it ensures going into a winning endgame

    Sometimes it's not just about understanding how the other player plays, chess goes beyond the board it's about their personalities how they feel next to each other and sometimes players have inexplicably bad scores against a particular player even if that player is lower rated. We are faced this ourselves even with online play.

    Philippine women's chess #suggestion - WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz.
    There's a 13-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here.
    [Variant "From Position"]
    [FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"]
    1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qe6 Bf6 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Qc8+ Kd6 9. e5+ Qxe5 10. d8=R+ Bxd8 11. Qxd8+ Kc6 12. Qa8+ Kb5 13. Qxa2
    For some reason none of the Philippine channels except Kelvinllovejr even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on.
    P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See
