That dog is fighting ghosts

"I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves" -Robert James Fischer  "No u" -Mikhail Tal

There is more to the story than Tal giving a simple smile. :) From his autobiography: (Tal fans REALLY need to get this book!) "...Fischer first wrote down QR-K1, without a doubt the strongest move, and he wrote it not in English but in European, almost Russian! And he not very deftly pushed the scoresheet towards me. "He's asking for an endorsement!" I thought to myself. But how to react? To frown was impossible, and if I smiled he would suspect ... 'trickery.' So I did the natural thing, I got up and strolled around the stage. I met Petrosian, made some joke to him, and he replied. But the 15 year old Fischer, who was essentially still only a large child, sat with a confused expression on his face, looking first at his second, and then at me. He then wrote down another move, Q-QB6+..." (And went on to lose.) "After the game, when I asked Fischer why he hadn't played QR-K1, he replied, "Well, you laughed when I wrote it down." "

if Tal would smile at me i would jump out of the nearest window so Fischer is kinda ok

"White king is naked, Fisher can continue checking him" Nice

"THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF SACRIFICES THE : CORRECT ONES AND MINE " - TAL

,,Bobby Fisher resingned the game" huh... never thought I would hear this sentence...

I really enjoy the extra information you give and the little stories you tell. This channel is not only about the game itself, it also teaches you about the history of chess and about famous chess players, it is really interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work! +1 sub

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened :')

I don't think Tal smiled at Fischer to psych him out. It was probably just a congratulatory smile for having found the best move that would defeat him. But Bobby, being unsure of himself, let himself get psyched out of making that best move. Hats off to Tal.

This should be an annotation symbol. !! "brilliant", ?? "blunder", ?! "dubious", :) "while grinning at opponent"

I'm ready. Bring me the next points table to memorize.

Its three hours since I saw this video, and I've been thinking about the smile and the Fischer's response. Given Tal, he smiled because he was happy for Fischer that Fischer found the right move. Given Fischer, he distrusted that the smile could have meant happiness for Fischer, and instead understood it as Tal laughing at him, and then played the wrong move. Tal smiled a lot, had a very easy and frequent smile. There are videos of him playing with Fischer and his glee at witnessing the game is abundant. It's actually sad; Fischer would have been lucky to have some of Tal's innocent emotionality.

Tal deserved that #1 Rank but I would like to mention that Paul keres too played spectacularly in this tournament. Just wanted to give him due recognition. Thank you

May be the rarest event on earth is "Bobby Fischer resigned the game." Love Mikhail Tal - The magician from Riga.

I would've loved to see Fischer and Tal play Alpha Zero. They are just creative enough to shock the world.
