1961 was a great year for chess
-
awesome game great attack by fischer
-
Love your videos - I wanted to see how the game would have ended if Tal kept playing though. And maybe some eval bars :)
-
Very good game!
-
Tal had a unique style of play. A style that would be possible only if engines were not invented.
-
Stunning vision and creativity from Fischer.
-
Ruthless game. Good to see the 2 best chess players ever in my humble opinion. Tal is my all time favorite
-
This is one of my all time favorite games. Thanks for the great commentary.
-
Better Call ChessDawg!
-
Fantastic analysis!!
-
Thanks!
-
great game. I wish I could see what would happen if Tal continued to play
-
As I recall, Tal admitted that he simply spaced out and forgot to play a6 in time.
-
5:53 Thought Qa5 might be worth considering. But obviously Petrosian had boogered up his opening. Turns out it was super bad. Like 1000-level bad. So bad that (whatever this is... somewhere around move 12?) he's down 6.3 per SF. [Fish also does say Qa5 is top move. But white Q controls the big diagonal...hence the key square of a1. But it's pointless as the game is all but already over.] Just another reminder that human chess is blunderful...even at GM levels...even pretty much right out of the gate.
-
Tal was a true genius.
-
chess is like no other game
-
Why not queen to a6 threatening mate when the white king is in the corner atacking the rook on a2?? I tried to analyze but i cant .. so can someone explain please
-
If you want to study classic games this is one of the channels to watch.
-
So Tal was already lost on move5.
-
Tal won 4 games in 1959 candidates and never won another. And lost 3 games.
