Once again Tal delight us with a wonderful combination!
Rf6 somewhat remembers the same move played by Bobby Fischer in one of his "60 memorable games", against Benko.

It is just amazing how In virtually every Tal game, his pieces are positioned 1 or 2 steps ahead of his opponents. An obvious defensive move costs the opponent a rook. Uncanny, incredible.

He was 13?

[@davidcopson5800]

Bobby Fischer was also 13 when a creating a much better game against Donald Byrne: The Game of the Century!

Once you get cornered in, like most of us do by castlling, you are doomed by the magic that soon follows,,, 😎✌💕
