It's absolutely poetic that Fischer beats Tal for the first time by not only using Tal's own style of sacrificing his queen, but making sure that Tal's own *queen* was the last to go, completely reversing every expectation you could have going into this game. Such an excellent display.
Keep this analysis up, these videos are getting me interested in chess again. I had stopped playing for several years but these videos analyzing old chess games have brought me back into the game. Thanks
@agadmator, I agree. I stopped playing about 13 years ago. One youtube suggestion and someone noticing me play on a phone app launched me right back into the game with the same level of obsession as before. Only difference is then I mostly read books while today I mostly watch youtube videos. lol
Where human emotion dictates the move. Never got about 1700-1800, but I've been in situations where I knew I'd win and I picked the prettier or more destructive move rather than the most efficient.
@@AndyZach Or, the engine is even better than Fisher. Fisher found a winning move but not the best move; a winning move is adequate in most situations.
Tal was an amazing sport to accept what was obviously his own trap played against him. He must've known he was lost and just wanted to see the show. Thanks for all the good stuff, Agad. I love most of your vids but this one is my favorite!
Yep, you’ve rekindled my interest in chess too. First learnt to play in 1972, so Fischer, Tal, Spassky et al were - and are - my heroes. Tal was always my favourite: his games are savage works of art. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Should watch the match between Tal and Fischer in 1959, Tal does an insane queen sacrifice, that in my opinion, beats this. In this, Fischer is well ahead and dominating the board, but Tal does a queen sac when they look about even and it was absolutely brilliant. I think Fischer sacrificed his queen this match because of that past match lol.
Dante: But Fischer was 16 years old. Many of the GMs beat up on Bobby early in his career. Once Bobby reached 23 years old, he never lost another match or exhibition And, as you can see, he’s not bad at age 18 either.
He was against the boring automaton like playstyle the Russian system encouraged. Safe. Tal clearly was not this player and Bobby had massive respect for him
@@kuyadong6791 Because Fisher believed, probably correctly, that the Russians were conspiring against him, giving each other grandmaster draws when they needed rest to be in top shape against Fisher.
With your videos and their explanations my game has improved greatly; by 200+! The visions and foresight have been very enlightening. I Currently joined the USCF and plan to go on to start playing tournaments. Thank you so much for your time and expertise!
Have a great time watching these, thanks. I also like the quotes and extras you add. The analysis is always great as well, along with the hypotheticals.
I really like your concise style. A lot of deep analysis of games but you go through each game and give us the basic reasoning. Quick and simple, doesn't take up too much time, still a lot to learn.
Mikhail Tal played like an old friend of mine, whose favorite comment was in French: "audacieux audacieux, toujours audacieux" (best pronounced 'la-dace') which translated means "audacious, audacious, always be audacious". In agamator's masterful review of his games, I can't think of anybody more audacious than Mikhail Tal. He was a one man wrecking ball.
These videos are amazing to me because moves that you say cannot be made in fear of some move that will be made afterwards isn't even a move I'd know to make at that time of it actually happening.
Great job with the analysis of the game and the presentation as a whole mate, I particularly liked the historical gossip/facts u are including. Its always nice to listen something you haven't heard before like Botvinnik's comment after the game. Keep it up
It's weird, but I'm sure that even when Fischer broke with the computer he knew what the best move actually was (partly because it's not that hard to find tbh), but he was going for style points.
Could anyone win 20 strait against the worlds Best Gm/s won 72% of his games. carlsen only 62% Kas 68% Karpov 64% Bobby also best ever Blitz player Crushed the big field 19 pts out of 21.
Would've paid good money to see Fischer and Tal both playing at their best against each other -- sharp games, computer precision, and both with the intense will to win. (I heard it said -- not sure when -- that Bobby Fischer feared no-one, and believed he could beat anybody) At it happened here Fischer was just entering his prime (at 18) and later his talent exploded higher in 1967 when he was 24. At the same time Tal was just 30 but very near the end of his career because of health problems. Such a loss. I believe that Tal/Fischer would have proven to be one of the most entertaining match ups of that era. Here's an outstanding video showing the actual FIDE performance of the world's chess greats through history: ruclips.net/video/z2DHpW79w0Y/видео.html
1OO1O11O11O1O it really depends on when you start playing chess and how much improvement you can get while simultaneously playing stronger and stronger players
Tal at 30 was nowhere near the end of his career. in 1979 (aged 43) he was rated 2nd in the world after he joint won montreal 1979 with Karpov. and his score with Karpov was 1 loss, no wins 19 draws when that guy was peaking... Check this out ruclips.net/video/z2DHpW79w0Y/видео.html and watch Mikhail Tal's name
240 suits just seems like heaven. Especially Italian suits perfectly tailored. There is nothing better than wearing a nice suit. It feels like you have a cloud wrapped around you
I disagree, Agad ... I don't believe Tal makes those mistakes ... as you often say, "Tal is Tal". I personally believe it was nother Tal move that he was trying against convention! This time is simply didn't work out. Thank you, great video! Tal and Fischer has great respect for each other.
That "most elegant man in the world" you mentioned, must have been the Duke of Windsor, the former King Edward VII of England. During his life he was the best dressed man. I have seen some of his clothes when they were auctioned and they were beyond comprehension in elegance and detail. Wonderful stuff.
@Agadmator, your overall health must surely be increasing with so much love and supports that you get from all around the world🙂. You are so much humane, highly conscious and gifted...
Thank you for all of your great videos,I really enjoy your content and I learn a lot about chess history and improve my knowledge of chess and skill level from it.

Can you put all the games when Bobby won Against Tal please? I m a huge fan of Both and you are the only youtuber which I really enjoy to watch. Thank you!
Bobby was so assertive from the beginning that he literally let his queen to be captured by Taal and trapped his king in both rooks. That was crushing 😅😅
7 years ago you’ve developed so much style your own of course since this video Antonio of course my favorite to watch as you call the games a bit raw here but Rome not built in day you would’ve added much I believe in your analysis were you to review this game 2024
In less than a year you have transformed from a bit timid into a confident, entertaining, often humorous announcer! P.S. Your dog is funny. Someday, introduce him. Keep up the great work.
I never knew Agadmator had "takes" in his vocabulary. *Gasp* Love your vids man. It really opened my eyes on the wonders of chess. Shoutout to Agadmatorhino.
2:29 -- Yeah, that makes no sense. Why kill your knight when a pawn will do? 2:55 -- Developing the bishop here (to a non-threatening square no less) make no sense at all. With the center still congested, Tal's king is presently perfectly safe and so there is no urgent need to castle -- but he's essentially playing without a queen for the moment, and a6 is just screaming to get rid of that knight
What was the whole point of Tal playing Qc5 at 5:10?? It seems there was no way for him to save the rook at g8, but he could have got more material for it if he played more precisely with his queen. He should have traded that rook for a bishop, at least.
You are right, there's no better continuation. I was looking at something like 24...Qc6 25.Bxh7 Qxf6 26.Bxg8 Qxg7 and the bishop is trapped, but instead white can easily play 25. Rf1 with either rook and the bishop is a ll set to take a black rook and escape.
Good commentary for a wood pusher like me -- you do not spend ten minutes exploring every variation five moves deep in one position, just the main ones. Nice anecdote about the suits, too. That adds a lot to the picture.
It's absolutely poetic that Fischer beats Tal for the first time by not only using Tal's own style of sacrificing his queen, but making sure that Tal's own *queen* was the last to go, completely reversing every expectation you could have going into this game. Such an excellent display.
Yeah.
Too bad tal made that mistake not pushing p to a6.
Luv this 😍
The exact moment Bobby Fischer became Chessenberg
Maybe poetic maybe not so surprising tho
I like that you tell interesting stories. The game gets so much more interesting to watch. Thanks for the good work!
+Hitendra Pratap Thank you Hitendra :)
Exactly! I completely agree. That's why this is my favorite chess channel. :D
I don't even play chess but can't stop watching his exciting & entertaining game reviews for days now.
Thumb's up for this
lore is important after all
Keep this analysis up, these videos are getting me interested in chess again. I had stopped playing for several years but these videos analyzing old chess games have brought me back into the game. Thanks

You should watch suren as well, he makes similar vids of old and current. I'm subbed to both:)
"And this is the first move of Fischer that isn't engine favourite" THAT'S NASTY.

+Flying Fox I love these stories about players from the golden chess era. I could read about them all day :) Glad you like it as well
BerylusRed .
The way he decided to beat him in his own style instead of the immediate winner Bh5... man, stone cold assassin behavior.
The one thing I like the most in Tal is that he doesn't give up till the end even if it's a losing position.
Tal was an amazing sport to accept what was obviously his own trap played against him. He must've known he was lost and just wanted to see the show.
Thanks for all the good stuff, Agad. I love most of your vids but this one is my favorite!

Wow the way Bobby gave up his queen how many players in the the world could do that and still win amazing.

@@damohanson5393 These comments were made like a year ago... but yeah Bobby improved a lot throughtout his teens and 20s
My opponent blunders his queen but still wins
I love how Bobby hated the Soviet system, but he had Russian chess player friends. Tal and Spassky especially.
Why did Bobby hated it?
@@kuyadong6791 Watch the documentary. He was psychotically against everything soviet.
He was against the boring automaton like playstyle the Russian system encouraged. Safe. Tal clearly was not this player and Bobby had massive respect for him
@@kuyadong6791 Because Fisher believed, probably correctly, that the Russians were conspiring against him, giving each other grandmaster draws when they needed rest to be in top shape against Fisher.
@@henrymccoy2306 well obviously not
If you not tell who was black / white, nobody would think Tal was black pieces in this game
1:30 > I say Bobby Fischer is white and Mikhail Tal is black :)
I was meaning IF you never said who was white and black then everyone would think that white is Tal, because Fischer playing like Tal.
I would say fisher is still white because he always plays e4
true
Except once (in the wc match) 1972 he played 1.c4 against Spasski!
What a way to win against the magician ... and your way of explaining the game is just amazing. Feels like watching a thriller, which it is.
2 things, number one this guy has gotten so much better doing videos with time, and second, I hate to see Tal losing.
Yes to both.
I absolutely love this channel! Thank you so much for your awesome insight into chess and for you undying humor!
I'm no expert but that looked like a crazy game
You clearly are not an expert. Nothing is crazy here. Perfectly logical.
@@AM-sp6je thanks ghandi
Your clearly not an engine....
@@AM-sp6je I think he means crazy in a good way, dude, like in a "holy fuck that game was exciting" way.
bobby lost 4 games to tal at age 15 and Never lost to tal again.

yup he was. level above them all.

A big game for Fischer,,, and I am sure was a big confidence boost ! 😁🖒
In another life, Tal and Fisher could easily be best of friends
They were actually best friends u know😏
It’s hard to comprehend how a human being can be so good at something that they play the same way as a computer would.

i wana ask u question any one who is expert in history of chess , who is better player in chess bobby ficher or tal
the game was perfectly winned by fischer against tal and i think agadmator was pretty eluctant to make this video since he is one of the tal fan
