To get out of the pin at approximately 16:00+ : What about hxg3, to defend the bishop, no other piece than the h2 pawn can take that defense away, but if hxg3 by white, the h file opened and we can play Qh8+, getting out of the pin, and then retreat the bishop. - Do I overlook something? Seems like this way (even if it is not as good as Rd2) we can also get out of the pin.
Yep, Tal's move is stronger obviously. I actually thought about Rd2 for a split second, but immediately discarded the idea. Shows again how sometimes we need to consider crazy stuff for a moment longer or need to find other ways to actually conclude that the crazy stuff is actually not so crazy after all. Thanks for your analysis!
When I was a young lad, Averbakh visited my home town Adelaide Australia and gave a simul which I played in. There was a front page article in the local paper, featuring a photo of the crazy foreigner running along the beach - in those days not many people were into fitness, even more so for chess players with lots of cigarette smoke around the chess tournaments of the time.
Interesting, entertaining, and instructive: well put, but mildly. Magnificent analysis of myriad game situations by the Master, who, at this moment is playing the Beautiful Game with his Maker
I like your commentary on all these videos, but I feel my critique of your videos is an over-use of asking me to guess the next move. I like that you have a ton of content, and I've just started looking through your videos (probably 20 or so). But sometimes I see the move, I don't on others. But I feel a little annoyed on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th requests for me to guess. It's a nice way to interact and keep your audience interested, but it's become exhaustive to me. I'm here to see brilliant chess and to have an excited commentator show them to me.
I respect your opinion, but I like the "guess the move". It just shows how chess is full of resources and this challenges the viewer to guess why a certain line was chosen over another and truly helps us appreciate these geniuses!

Thank you for the excellent commentary and the chance to see another one of Tal's mind boggling games unfold.

That's equal apparently but yeah I guess another way of handling the pin, just not as strong as the other two :
e.g. after Bd4 in your line - White is able to put a lot of pressure on f7

It's funny how british stuggle with foreign names. Great video btw
It's not just we British who struggle; Americans also have the same struggle.
Bravo! Tal’s genius on full display.
spicy game
I bet there would be alot of subscribers if the the videos of this channel would be 10min.
Months late, but rip averbakh
mal has always been rather flippant with those knights. i'm glad i'm not the only one to notice this flagrant flippancy :p
It's flawlessly flagrant!
