Hi Sam, thank you for making this mind-meltingly complicated game a bit simpler to understand for simpler people like me. Astonishing play by both sides, and one of Tal's many masterpieces.
I feel sad looking the amount of effort you put into entertaining us and what you get....☹️ This content is wayy better than hikaru not understanding the memes in my opinion
Tal was from Latvia. He was not a Russian. Botvinnik was the glamour darling of the USSR. There was no way the Soviets were going to let a 'foreigner keep 'their title.' It has been said Tal was ill before the rematch but was forced to play. It has been suggested that he was also under political pressure to lose. He most certainly did not play up to his standards in the rematch which makes it plausible that he lost 'as directed.' Kinda like Bronstein did to Botvinnik ten years earlier. One thing the Soviets were known for was their pride and that they would do everything needed to keep that intact. Botvinnik was really a weak Champion as he never defeated his opponents in their first matches, only in rematches.
What's a good move really? Fifty years from now some new engine will find flaws in Magnus' games too. At the end of the day the game is played between two humans on the board. If it worked on the spot, it's a good move.

I did not know your channel, but just subscribed after watching this, great content!
You have amazing beard. Wow
You deserve more than this I subscribed with love for chess
Love this series 👍Awesome stuff
May I know where did you find this game? What book? Please
Your explanation is finest
15:59 why didn't Tal take the knight with his bishop as Botvinnik's bishop is pinned. Then kf2 rf1+ / kxe2 rxf4?
If tal takes the knight in that position there is rook e3 fork by botvinnik, resulting in a trade.

Which book are the annotations from?

i guess there is a book on Botvinnik vs. Tal, 1960
@@sam_copeland there is good analysis by Tal even in his autobiography life and game of tal

That isn't really a brilliant move it is a bad move according to the engine said by Agadmator
