The 1959 Candidates Tournament was hosted by three cities in Yugoslavia. The first 14 rounds were played in Bled, rounds 15-21 in Zagreb, and rounds 22-28 in Belgrade. This event would select the next challenger to world champion Mikhail Botvinnik, who had just recaptured his title in the Botvinnik - Smyslov World Championship Rematch (1958). Mikhail Tal, Svetozar Gligorić, Pal Benko, Tigran Petrosian, Friðrik Ólafsson and Bobby Fischer qualified from the Portoroz Interzonal (1958). Vasily Smyslov and Paul Keres were seeded directly into the candidates tournament on the strength of their 1-2 finish in the previous Amsterdam Candidates (1956). Harry Golombek was arbiter, and the seconds were Bent Larsen (Fischer), Yuri Averbakh, joined later by Alexander Koblents (Tal), Vladas Mikenas (Keres), Isaac Boleslavsky (Petrosian), Igor Bondarevsky (Smyslov) Aleksandar Matanovic (Gligorić), Klaus Viktor Darga and Ingi Randver Johannsson (Ólafsson), and Rudolf Maric (Benko)
The players would meet each other four times, twice in Bled and once in both Zagreb and Belgrade. In Bled, the players stayed at the Grand Hotel Toplice, the site of Alexander Alekhine's historic triumph in Bled (1931). Mikhail Tal had just had his appendix removed less than two weeks earlier, but FIDE insisted he make it in time for the tournament. According to Tal, "I was not much troubled by the effects of the operation, apart from in a purely mechanical sense; during a game I did not feel inclined to stroll about ..."5 This information may have come as a surprise to Harry Golombek, who commented after Round 5 that "it is an impressive sight to see him (Tal) get up after he has made what he obviously thinks is a winning move and pace around the table like a man-eating tiger." It may also have surprised Bobby Fischer, who complained after his first game with Tal that whenever he "rose from the board ... he'd begin talking to the other Soviet players, and they enjoyed whispering about their or others' positions." Pal Benko later revealed that due to his "demanding" job in a US brokerage firm, he "didn't prepare at all" for the event, although he reckoned "I did reasonably well." He didn't. After the first cycle Tal, Paul Keres and Tigran Petrosian shared the lead.

I am happy that Tal finally realized that he is winning in these positions and didn't resign
hahahahaha, Agadmator making fun of this in his video is so cool :)
😂😂😂
I'm a little lost on the joke. Did Tal really resign a winning game at some point or...?
Firippu Martinezu in his other videos he said bymistake that - "...in this position Tal resigned the game.." where Tal was clearly winning
Never mind. I just watched the other video. Lol.
Congratulations on having most viewed RUclips channel!
lol
The PewDiePie of Krizevci!
if people keep saying it, it will be true!
@@pavetheworldlovely We can make it a trend and everybody will come here to check what happened!!!
"I'm just kidding!" *shaking my head*
*Tal resi- I'm just kidding*
Fooled me for a second there.
11:47 🤣🤣🔥
Fool me once I will check, fool me twice I will mate
"I just wanted to let you know how things are done in Croatia.". lmao
I think he said "down in Croatia"
This story is about low quality news. It seems to be a worldwide affliction. News outlets have always been slanted
on the political spectrum, historically, only nowadays, it's a case of ignoring news and mostly reporting what they think
helps their political cause. In the process, any kind of real reporting has become foreign to news outlets. The owners
of the news outlets ( corporations would be the owners, here in the USA ), hire political goons, and it doesn't take too many
goons to read the news, and carry on slanted interviews. It's much cheaper to get whatever news they print from Reuters
and similar orgs, rather than have reporters on the payroll. I've checked this theory by comparing the stories of news events
in different newspapers to find almost identical wording in each article. So, you aren't going to be reported correctly, ever,
because their so-called "reporters" don't have those skills. They are political goons, masquerading as reporters. If you
meet a reporter, the best thing to do is run away.

XDDD
Omg
What does this got to do with chess?
Augustas Jonikas i belive its supposed to show to most viewed videos. Its a joke.
you'd be fun at parties
Agadmator knows the on-going channel gag where Tal resigns winning games. 😂
He sure does after all he has the most viewed channel in the world! :-P
Not only the most popular chess channel in the world, but also the most popular RUclips channel in the world
Reporter: you have the most view yt channel?
Agadmator: ahm .. the most viewed chess channel, yes.
R: what is your favourite chess player?
A: the Magician of Riga.
R: who's that supposed to be?
A: Michael Tal, a former World Champion.
R: did you won a game against Tal?
A: No, I can't win against a dead man.
Next day in the local newspaper -
THE MOST VIEWED CHESS MAGICIAN LOST AGAINST A DEAD WORLD CHAMPION
That pretty much sums it up :D
Charccy 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍
This is gold
HAHAHA XD
Your check from RUclips would be larger, ahm you have the best chess channel I have seen, honestly, your love of the game is inspiring and consuming you honor the great players and the history of thier matches and even if we all blunder missing the obvious for an idea from time to time, it would and could make a great book that, ahm could allow you to be consumed by these amazing insights more freely.
Haha Tal resign the game... I'm just kidding 😂😂👌
Yes you deserve best channel Because the way you show the games played by many legends with the great explanation that everyone can understand .
Your doing a great job showing that chess is not a boring game
D Praveen Yes. Only people who can't play find it boring and i feel sorry for them, they don't know what they are missing.
Totally agreed
You are the biggest channel!!! ;-)
you might be the most viewed chess chanel on youtube, but you've always been number one to me Agadmator. I've been here since the early hay days. congratz on your tremendous sucess.
Antonio this is what I like about your videos: the way you play winning variations out. It doesn't just help inexperienced players like me learn mating patterns, it strengthens analysis skills! I thought 1 ...e3 followed by 2. ..Qe4 and 3 ...Qg2 mate. Only afterwards did I find White has 3 Qc8+ and 4 Qe6+ exchanging queens. Thank you so much!
It still will be winning since bishop is also guarding e6 .
The newspaper said you had the most viewed channel in the world, this was a massive blunder as it loses to the Copy and Paste variation (I'll stop now). But congrats on that news :D
Suren will say it's dubious.
You are indeed number 1. Straight from South Africa we watch your channel.
Last week i saw your videos for the first time. Today i am obsessed with chess and i dont even know why. :D Life is good.
Welcome :)
YOU SHOULD ALSO START MAKING OPENING; TRAPS AND OTHER TUTORIALS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT
You have the biggest RUclips LOVE from all your fans, out there !
Newspaper wasn't 100 % wrong !
Keep up the good constant work, you are like the daily newspaper: a daily rendez-vous !
Hey ! Chess is an ADDICTIVE hobby, after all !
Can't stand a day, without a visit to Agadmator video's....
Happy to hear you're the most viewed youtube Channel, you deserve it with all the effort you put in! You have definitely helped my chess game tremendously.
Hi, very interesting as always. I recently started to get really keen on chess thanks to your videos, which brought me back into the game. By the way, congrats for 100k, on the road to 1 million!
That’s because you’re great if not the best at annotations and explaining that particular game
Respect brother 🤜🤛
One of the things I really like about you is you are a very reasonable, practical man. That is clear by how you handle uncomfortable situations, such as the incorrect news story and the St. Louis Chess Club situation. You are very levelheaded, something I’m sure helps you a great deal in chess.
11:47 not this time hahahaha, best chess channel
congrats brother...😃😃😃
The positive feedback you receive it s not because of chess; It s because the great person you are!
I’m actually so glad I spotted your channel and subscribed back when you had around 5K or fewer subscribers. It’s awesome seeing this channel get the views it deserves because chess is like the UFC for intellectuals!
Agadmator's chess channel is perfectly fine here!
Even tho there was some devious tactics by croatian media.
vulcanus30 yes but what's the idea?
This is completely winning for Croatia.
Don't worry agadmator. News media is the same everywhere.
Right. It's not so much the 'fake media' as the 'alternative facts' media. They pick and choose what to cover, leaving out an inconvenient fact or two. Therefore you have to pick and choose what to follow and what to allow. Most of us don't have time to do this, so we end up discarding all news as irrelevant. 'It happened, but did it really happen?' Everyone, including news organizations, are limited by their point of view, but in my life I don't recall news that's so blatantly biased as that in the present generation. What's different now is that there doesn't seem to be any attempt to get at the basic facts--only the facts that support a point of view. At least that's the way it is here in the USA.
You are the BEST chess channel. You provide history, possible moves post resignations, you know counters a better moves. You are the hoodie MAN
I really like how you interact with audience, so friendly like we already friend for a long time.
Your chess channel is simply the best
Your explanations and follow through are very incisive and detailed
Very entertaining and educating
hats off to your humility
Nothing like a good old Pal vs Tal game :)
I have waited for this Q&A so long. Im ready for it to be here. Edit: Good catch not saying tal resigned, nice to see your trying!
"Tal resigned... - I'm just kidding!" Why did I laugh so hard 😂😂😂 ahh chess humour
"Tal resigned" gave me butterflies in the stomach! :D
I watch your videos regularly and from Jordan - Middle East. Very informative and educational.
"Just to let you know how things are done in Croatia" ! LOL! A priceless throwaway line!
Man, your channel deserves to no. 1!
lol wow. i saw queen c2 at the end and also saw the bishop attacking either of the pinned pieces but ultimately got the winning one mixed up, dang
10:38 "This is actually a competly draw, because queen can deliver checkmate"
I love you chess channel agadmator..keep it up
Well presented.
Oh you almost got me there with Tal resigned again his won game :D This time i blundered the move, would go for bishop c3 ... Great video and congrats on being the most viewed channel !
I suck at chess, why am I hooked on watching these brilliant matches
Hai, just wanna say that I love ur channel. Keep it up dude!
You deserve the views my friend. Keep up the great work.
3 years later and chess is really showing off that bright new future
*Thanks Mr.NewsPaperGuy*
you deserve to be the most popular chess channel on youtube; your commentary is expert.
Agad you'll always be the biggest RUclips channel in my eyes!
Dear Adgamator,
As you did mentioned about being the most liked/viewed chess channel, I don’t care about the statistics, what I do care is definitely the quality, which is what you provide. I enjoy watching your videos and for that I thank you and wish you will continue ...
Honestly I was looking for the good videos covering Bennko Gambit and his other material. I say, that Tal, really something.
Proud of you, homie.
even if you weren’t 100k subs i still select your vids because of the quality and content of your vids compared to other chess channels. :) Keep it up agad! Sending love from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
How unpredictable! Tal almost resigned again.
Great game!
been following ya since you were born (kidding, since 5k)
Your channel has the most views among Chess channels because it is the best one. At least of the ones that I have seen.
Mate you rock
Very helpfull for me
I remember when I first came across your channel and you only had 6000 subscribers. Two things at that point we very obvious to me.
1) I have just found a hidden gem
2) It won’t stay hidden for long
Congratulations on being the most viewed chess channel in the world, you deserve it.
The actual name of Mikhail Tal's opponent is Pál Benkö. Thanks for a great chess channel!
Congratulations on having the biggest youtube channel IN THE WORLD!!!
Честитам вам на томе,дивно представите и веома јасно сваку партију,тако да то и заслужујете
That's okay man you keep doing your stuff
With everything that has been going on lately, it kinda restored my faith in humanity that a channel about the grand old game got the most views monthly.
"Or chess really has a bright future" 🤣🤣💔
10:42 In a lot of your games, players survive checkmate.
Next stop: The first "One million subscribers" Chess channel :) [if this is even possible] Keep up the good work sir!
11:45.. And in this position I laughed so hard. Good one pal. Finally Tal does win a won game😂😂😂
“The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent.”

Can you use this quote in your next video?!
11:49 I got excited for a moment when you said you were kidding
Man did you live in Croatia? Your English is perfect!
When you said Tal resigns I smiled 😂
Congrats on being the biggest world in the channel!
Love your channel than any...😍
Number 1 youtuber
great\
Best chess channel 👌
Your channel SHOULD have the most views of any channel.
Almost got me when you said "Tal resi-" 😂
10:41”the queen can deliver checkmate on e8 and force a propetual”
I believe that one day, chess will rule the world. XD
Atlast a tal game without sacrifise
black man no he plays f4 sacrificing the pawn
You do have the best chess videos, with the exception of maybe Jerry (ChessNetwork) and for a quick fix, Suren... Thanks as always brother
Haha regardless of the fiasco, congratulations @agadmator for being the most successful chess channel. And let's hope, one day, it shall become The most popular as well! :)
First time I'm actually finding the winning idea after you said feel free to pause the video...
Hello Mr Antonio,
What rating do you think is 'respectable' for people who can't afford to invest much time on chess-theory studies?
And thank you for providing us with great content.
I am no Antonio but I would guess that if you simply dont blunder a lot and know how to play active you can easily get up to a 1600 maybe 1700 without opening skills.
No chance to get 2200 without theory studies.
In this position, Agadmator played the “Tal resigned” gambit declined.
I really hope for the day where a chess youtube channel will have the most views out of any channel
haha ludnica... fejk njus :D Svaka cast na youtube kanal! :) Redovan gledatelj :)
Nice intro...i mean, today with 1.2 million subs is quite amusing
The dog sends excuses for being late ...
This was the best game I saw the magician
Hey man ! M new to chess and regularly watch your videos. Certainly my game has improved a lot after watching your videos. Can you please make a video on the best resources to learn chess ? Like books, websites etc. thanks in advance...
🔥🔥🔥
I laughed out loud at 11:45. You got me.
#suggestion please agad start making videos on opening traps and tricks and how to master chess
