He is the rebirth of Paul Morphy himself. No one plays like Tal. Not even Fischer or Kasparov. In an older less preparation based era, Tal would've been even more amazing.
Tal has always had very high accuracies. His statement on his sacrifices being wrong was more of a way to provoke those who criticised him for them. In reality, stockfish supports most of his sacrifices, and amazingly is sometimes proven wrong by them, readjusting only after seeing the move played.
In reverse, you always accept his sacrifices. If you dont, you are dead anyways, and if you do, due to his tendency to act on impulse and intuition, you may find a refutation. It's not like if Petrosian sacrificed something, if he did, you would SURELY be dead.
@@LasCosasDeBrunin That's a valid point, and it highlights the unique style of Mikhail Tal. Tal was known for his dynamic and sacrificial style of play, and you're right that declining his sacrifices often led to difficult positions. Accepting his "gifts" was a double-edged sword because he had a knack for finding tactical complications that could backfire on his opponents. It's true that players like Tal relied heavily on intuition and creativity, which made them particularly dangerous opponents. It's also worth noting that Tal's sacrifices were often aimed at creating imbalanced positions where he could outmaneuver his opponents in the ensuing complications. While some may see it as a risky approach, it was also a testament to his deep understanding of chess dynamics and his ability to seize the initiative. So, whether you choose to accept or decline Tal's sacrifices, you should always be prepared for a challenging and unpredictable game where fireworks can indeed explode on the board.
@@tonyhal7980 Playing Tal over the board is I think a very scary thing. Any mistake is punished by making you look stupid. 2 + 2 = 5, and you're not getting out of here.
In a game of mine I sacrifice my knight and bishop to create an attack then sacrifice my rook to break through every defense of my opponent then after 1 move I stunned my opponent by sacrificing my queen my opponent is in a very bad position he is going to resign but I again stunned him with a brilliant king sacrifice and resign the game in style 😎
Back then, they cheated with winks. Left winks for Alpha, right winks for numeric, and a secret room where all the greatest unknown chess players were discussing the best moves like a stockfish engine.
I swear you can't believe it. I'm 1k rated player but I achieved 100% accuracy in a match. My opponent opened Italian opening. I defend with traxler counter gambit. He fell for it perfectly
I believe it coz I'm a 900 rated player yet I have 3 games with 100% accuracy. This only happens when the opponent plays exactly the opening moves which u have studied and know the best move but this is so rare that I have played almost 1800 games and only 3 have been with 100% accuracy
Thing is, theyre sacrifices, but they each served a purpose, either by forcing them to take the piece and opening the position, protecting their OWN pieces (like the queen with the opponnent's bishop) or the opponent would lose his own pieces. Quite ingenius
if anyone is wondering why tal didnt take the knight with the pawn its because then the queen can check on e5 and take the bishop so it would be an exchange after wich white position is much worse
Sure, when Tal sacrifices 69 points of material in a game it's "brilliant" and "planned", but when I do it I'm "checkmated". Screw this, I'm going back to Connect Four, you guys are lame.
Tal made me fall in love with chess. His mind works on a completely different plane. He made Chess into an art form. Not logic, Mathematics, combinations and memorising.
After the pawn came to E5 the knight was basically dead. It couldn't move without letting the bishop take the queen. Moving the queen to C7 threatens a fork. If pawn takes F6 then the idea is that black can move their queen to E5 forking the king and the bishop. White can't get out of check without losing the bishop so taking the knight effectively becomes a trade.
White threatens checkmate in one on f7, so this needs an immediate response. Now, White has won a tempo (a move) to bring the R in the scene by Rf1+...and the rest is history!
If pawn takes on f6 then black can go e5 with the queen check, which forks the king and bishop. It essentially trades the knight for the bishop and white did not want to have that trade off.
Haha! He probably thought it meant you're fired😅 I thought it was a lazy way of saying sack too, when I first saw it. I was probably reading about a Tal game and soon realised it meant sacrifice.

@@mbapum6363 There's a couple videos at least of stockfish not seeing Tal's move. Which proved to be the strongest later on analysis.
This is an excellent example of why you never accept a "gift" from Tal. Only if you want to see fireworks in the end.
The thing i see with him is he puts opponents in a position where they have to take otherwise he is checkmating you sooner

Tal is just something else. Countless games of crazy sacrifices which somehow manage to work out

LMAOOOOOO
And these all are red brilliant move with double question mark sign.
Sounds like something I would do lol
The last sacrifice was the best - the opponent’s self esteem.
One of the most brutal checkmates in the history of chess 😢.
The fact that this was before the vibrating but plug era makes this even more impressive 😂

Bro sacrificed everything.
Bro shows no mercy in saying words that are different but have the same meaning. “Sacrificed his opponent’s self esteem”💀😨
Tal is so brilliant he used to sacrifice everything even his king to secure win
He actually made 5 brilliant moves. He sacrifices: The Knight❕❕ THE ROOOOOK❕❕ The Bishop❕❕ THE OTHER ROOK❕❕ And lastly...His opponents self esteem❕❕
Tal's sacrifice seems like you getting five star food before your king's execution
What’s weird is that sometimes brilliants are not the best move
sacrificed bishop to get rook out 😮

Nooo..Rooooksss👺
opponent: plays sicilian
tal: look like you have chosen.... DEATH!!
That's why Tal is so popular he is the real gangsta in chess 😎
Only Mikhail tal can make such sacrifices 👍
Imagine Levy reacting to these in real time 😂
Opponent's self esteem
Tal is a legend. I want to play like that 😊
You got me with that last sacrifice.😂
It must have been utterly frustrating that the more you're winning, the more you are actually losing. It's like fighting someone with instant regen.
That's exactly how I play before my opponent sneaks in a back rank mate on me while having +9.
Wow the final line spoken here is absolutely ruthleaa
Bro how is this possible Mikhail tal played 19 moves and his opponent played 17 moves😂😂😂
forced moves don’t count
@@joycongrip thanks bro🙏🏻
The opponent sacrificed 1 of his moves and his self esteem 💀
Bro his opponent played 18moves,as mikhail tal is white he played the next move(19th move) then it's mate
Ghost moves
6 Bishop g5 sicilian is no joke. I think it's the only variation I've seen a whole book on
Tal is my favorite by far
The magician of Riga
And then he sacrifices THE KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn that's something else and I'm pretty sure he has a plan if the opponent played differently.
i’m 2100 and qc7 is a move i’d. never have considered. beautiful
The last line is 😂
When the whole game is a forced check mate😂
He sacrificed the entire bloodline
What the shit is this game. Move after move I just cannot comprehend how can this be the best moves. My god this guys a genius.
Sure, when Tal sacrifices 69 points of material in a game it's "brilliant" and "planned", but when I do it I'm "checkmated". Screw this, I'm going back to Connect Four, you guys are lame.
This is why he’s the magician from riga
He is the previous witty alien
He found this before chess engines existed…
Someone explain why not exf6 after Qc7???
he forks the king and bishop with his queen
Playing the Najdorf against Tal is like suicide
Wow i love this guy tal tactics
Thats mind blowing!!😅😅
Don't boo spam the brilliant emote
Omg!! Tal is a madman !! :)
Superb
Thanks 🤗

And then he sacrifices THE BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT GAME WAS THIS ???!!!! 😮
How high Tal's elo really is!!
Meanwhile Kramnik...
Jesus...he cut his opponent to pieces!
Where do you find these games of Tal ?
Chess guru youtube channel has playlist of Tal games but im hindi.
Brilliant 👏
Queen b6 was a mistake
I dont understand Qc7 somebody explain
After the pawn came to E5 the knight was basically dead. It couldn't move without letting the bishop take the queen. Moving the queen to C7 threatens a fork. If pawn takes F6 then the idea is that black can move their queen to E5 forking the king and the bishop.

@@Bobby_GoThanks 👍🏻
100% accuracy…
Woof
Why was the bishop sacrifice a brilliant?
To gave check with rook
@@royknox3381thanks
Because it divert black defense from that pawn which lead to checkmate after some move.
to let the rook out with a tempo, because when the bishops goes out it threats checkmate with the battery
my english isnt very good haha
I have a doubt
Why did he sacrificed his bishop yet it is a brilliant move
Why don’t just take knight f6
There’s actually no proof that this game was played and it was likely one of Mikhail Tal’s studies
0:01
Who did he played against?
Who is the oppponent of Tal?
why didnt he take the knight
Knight takes c7 the game give me Good move for it🤦🏻♂️🤣
what is the point bishop sacrifice
Threatens checkmate on f7 if not taking. And opens the f1 square for the rook at the same time
So fast. Can someone post the score please?
Qg4 was not best, it was excellent
11 book moved???
couldn’t pawn have taken knight
The queen give a check to king and takes white bishop
Wow super 😮
What was the point of sacrificing the bishop? Was that literally just to flex or am I missing something?
to let the rook out with a tempo, because when the bishops goes out it threats checkmate with the battery
my english isnt very good haha
Can someone enlighten me on the purpose of sacrificing the bishop??
White threatens checkmate in one on f7, so this needs an immediate response. Now, White has won a tempo (a move) to bring the R in the scene by Rf1+...and the rest is history!
Mikhail Tal I was not familiar with your game 🎯 holy cow!😮
Can anybody explain why he sacrifices the bishop? I’m not seeing it. Couldn’t he have played rook f1 earlier?
The Bishop blocked f1
to let the rook out with a tempo, because when the bishops goes out it threats checkmate with the battery
my english isnt very good haha
Why did he take the rook with the bishop instead of the queen??
Because pawn takes queen
@@vaishanthjv2519 oo okay 😅
Sacrificed even his underwear
Who was the opponent here?
After Qc7 why wouldn’t white take Nxf6? Choosing to defend the pawn over taking the knight makes no sense.
queen forks bishop and king
What the hack.. 😮😅
why didn't white take the knight with the pawn?
If pawn takes on f6 then black can go e5 with the queen check, which forks the king and bishop. It essentially trades the knight for the bishop and white did not want to have that trade off.
Btw brilliant moves are actually sometimes worst than best moves while best move are always better than brilliant moves
Holy doom haha
Sack. Not sac.
Sac means sacrifice tho
Haha! He probably thought it meant you're fired😅 I thought it was a lazy way of saying sack too, when I first saw it. I was probably reading about a Tal game and soon realised it meant sacrifice.
I've seen more people use sac than sack but I'm ok with sack because it hints at a player having a big sack
its sac like sacrifice not sack like ballsack
