  • It created such a stir in the audience because nobody could understand what they were seeing anymore. It was literally like engine level chess in those days and all people could do is ooh and ahh at the spectacle of something far beyond their capacity to comprehend.

    Botvinnik was the Karpov of his time and more so.
  • @Philiopantheon82
    I remember in one of Vasily Ivanchuck interviews, saying; paraphrasing him, "Tal was a mystery,". Now I get it why he said that
  • @lemonnforce1431
    Fantastic video again, I love your story telling man! ❤❤
  • @Shockprowl
    I love it when you do one of the old classics. And the historical context is vitally important. It just goes to show, these top guys back in their day were just as cunning and sharp as the modern guys today. Yes opening theory wasn't as developed, because of computers, but in terms of tactics and guile they're just as good.

    I personally enjoy all Tal games. Used to own the three volume my games by misha
  • It was indeed a great move from a wonderful. Tals’ autobiographical chess masterpiece has a wonderful description of this game. Thanks
  • Thanks! I followed Agadmator from his earliest vids and you are progressing along the same lines. May your channel prosper. As my wife said 'he's a nice voice' polished...keep pumping out chess matches. I've to date not had any luck in finding an analysis of the chess match A Crowley played (from another room where he was having sex) while he was in his chess phase. All I remember is he opened with the English.
  • @Christoff070
    No, Tal's greatest move was when he asked his future wife to have a coffee 😅
  • @segercliffhanger
    Good sense of space and timing to flick in classics like this.
  • Can you use a split screen showing two boards. One always stays on the actual game, the other to show the 'he could have' moves?
  • @gosstopher
    Love your vids, just pointing out though that Tal was ectrodactyly in his right hand.
  • @mitchu9677
    How did botvinnik allow his queen to drop like that?
  • @serroche
    Mate I've been following your channel for some time now and I love your analysis and how you approach variations, but those 'special FX' when you move or capture any piece just take away my attention away for some reason, just saying, maybe it's just me 💀😂
  • @mcronrn
    Tal was the most exciting player ever to sit at a chess board. Fischer is a close second, but he never beat Tal. 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏽
  • @gnomely1
    It's not a genius move. The word is INGENIOUS. Genius is a noun not an adjective. Note the spelling of ingenious. there is a 'u' after the 'i'.

    Epic clickbait....next will be "Capablanca's finest manouever", "Morphy's sweetest miniature", "Marshall's greatest swindle", "Karpov's longest grind", "Carlsen's most unlikely win in a king and pawn versus king endgame"
