Mikhail Tal's Averbakh Gambit blasts Spassky

- Featured is the chess game between Boris Spassky and Mikhail Tal from Tallinn 1973. In reply to Tal's Nimzo-Indian Defense, Spassky chooses the Leningrad variation. Tal's response with the Averbakh Gambit strips Spassky of central control. The Averbakh Gambit is a close relative of the Blumenfeld Gambit, with the main difference being the location of black's dark-squared bishop. On display is Tal's excellent depth of calculation. Before Tal executes his 15th move, he had to at least crunch the numbers up to his 22nd move. This is a model game for the Averbakh Gambit, and it highlights Tal's skill as both attacker and defender.

What a great game, the way Tal saw these tactical defenses in advance is really amazing.
Great game! Interesting discussion of different evaluation depending on whether white’s pawn is on b3 vs a2. Thank you Jerry!
👍
Pure wizardry out of the Magician from Riga
🧙♂️
Early tactics and so many forced moves. Great break down Jerry thank you. Shining the light on Tals genius.
Beautiful game. Brilliant play by both Tal and Spassky. Very nice analysis by you!
Hey Jerry, it's me, the guy that always nags you about making rapid/blitz videos. I didn't leave a comment but be assured that I watched it at least five times. I was asleep for four of them. As my therapist I want to thank you for helping me do that. Also keep up the great work. Talk to you soon buddy
Game is more than 50 years old now. Both Tal and Spasski are legends in their own rights. Spasski is 87 now and still among us.
Long time fan thanks Jerry! Always love your recaps especially Tal recaps, that one was nasty.
Thank you 👍
Those were some Bobby Fischer bishops. It always blows my mind how utterly savage the bishop pair becomes in an open endgame.
Tal was a master of coordinating the actions of his pieces.
Only Tal can make player of Spassky's calibre look ordinary
And fischer
M.Tal provided marvelous games in his times. He had the vision and was showing the slightest positional details as something to consider more important than plain material.
In Endgame, it's like walking on eggshells. This game looks scary like simple missteps leading into checkmate.
I’ve been really interested in the blumenfeld gambit recently so it was cool seeing this on your channel!
Tks for the game ❤
And thank you for watching. 👍

"Queen has dark, Bishop has light"
Tal made the doubled rooks look like nothing... even a weakness. Truly a wanderer of the deep, dark forest of chess.
Even in the 1970s Tal had the old magic.
Simply wow, theres really nothing else to say. Greatest game ever invented in my opinion.
The amazing part of this game is, if Jerry’s theory is correct, Tal’s calculation out from move 15 to 22. And how could Jerry’s analysis be incorrect? If Tal hadn’t done the calculation exactly, his 15th would have started a slow seppuku.
According to Garry Kasparov, Tal didn't calculate (this is also why he was so good at blitz, his opponents didn't have enough time to calculate):
GK: I worked a bit with Tal. Around 1980, he visited Baku, we played a couple of training games, and the chess contact wasn't lost until Tal's very last days. There was a blitz tournament in Moscow, one month before Tal's death. He looked horribly. But Tal was still Tal. In this blitz tournament, I lost my only game to him. I retaliated in the second round, but the fact was that until the very end, he still had this vision of games. He was the only one I knew who didn't calculate the variants, he saw them.
EK: Can you elaborate?
GK: We calculate: he does this then I do that. And Tal, through all the thick layers of variants, saw that around the 8th move, it will be so and so. Some people can see the mathematical formulae, they can imagine the whole picture instantly. An ordinary man has to calculate, to think this through, but they just see it all. It occurs in great musicians, great scientists. Tal was absolutely unique. His playing style was of course unrepeatable. I calculated the variants quickly enough, but these Tal insights were unique. He was a man in whose presence others sensed their mediocrity.
I study TALented (pun) people across various fields and just like Kasparov says, indeed there are people like Tal who "just see it all instantly" from their instinct and intuition. Their brains are wired differently from birth. It's not something that can be learned. You can scan these people with MRI while they are solving puzzles pertaining to their fields and you will find that compared to ordinary people, their brains have additional and surprising areas very active when they are presented with puzzles. This rare condition is called synesthesia. For example, some musicians can process audio information with their visual cortexes and that gives them an instant "glimpse" of ideas as pictures and colors and they can instantly and fluently improvise on any random sound input.
@@LogioTek I read once (it might have been a Fisher biography) where the scientific observations were that there are three fields where the genius shows before puberty: Math, Music, and Chess.
the most amazing thing about Tal is that despite his combinatorial style he had in the 60s the longest unbeaten streak, which is to say that no one could truly out-calculate him over the board.
I think its in 70s?
I think it's in 70s?
The accuracy is uncanny!
Tal really had a different mindset towards the game of chess just when you think you escaped he finally gets you. Great understanding of the game. The whole time I was stressing this is not enough i don't see a move for black but he proved me and spassky wrong. Rip
Beautiful game!!
Wonderful game from Riga's magician thank you Jerry
I like the way you explained each and every move
Thanks
Extraordinary!
GREAT ANALYSIS. TAL IS SO SUBTLE AS USUAL
Thank you Jerry!
I think I am going to start playing this gambit.
Hello. Tal , Judit and Rashid. Chess art!
Thanks¡
Hey Jerry I was wondering whether you could start a series where people beat Magnus? It’s a pretty rare occurrence and I know we all love to see Magnus masterclasses, but a playlist of people taking him down would be cool as well!
“How to defeat Magnus” 😎
Amazing ❤❤
Incredible
More Tals games please Jerry!
3:51 Yes! I just keep guessing/knowing the right move almost everytime in any chess CZcamsr's "pause the video" moment and I'm only a novice player:D 700-1000 rated in different modes on platforms.
so nice
Thx Jerry 😊
Tal is the best of all time
The Magician from Riga
Hey Jerry, go browns.
0-3 in pre 😎
Wow
If you played ....Rxf2! Then you must be very very careful of Kramnik😂
Tal !
Hi Jerry.
Hi Lop^2. 👋
Memories of anton^2?
@@bhargavabhat9227 Hi. No. Max Ernst, the painter, lost his sister to scarlet fever when he was young. He would always have these repeated motifs of a two-headed bird that represented the memories of him and his sister. The name of the two-headed bird was “loplop.”
You’re the first person who ever asked.
Tal was only 37 years old but 12 years from his world championship title… Spassky was only a year past the fisher match so in his prime……. Always have to wonder in this type of Russian situation if the game had been agreed to beforehand….still… tal did have a period of great success during this decade…. Pretty game…
Spassky plays 90% accuracy and still gets mullered!
