Mikhail Tal's Most Insane Queen Sacrifice

In this famous chess game the eighth world chess champion Mikhail Tal sacrifices his queen on move 13 and manages to organize a very dangerous attack! Being unable to repel Tal's attack his trainer Alexander Koblents soon gets a lost position. A typical Tal game which every Sicilian Najdorf player should see!

Dear chess lovers, I checked in the database, and it turned out that the first recorded game with this queen sacrifice variation belongs to Latvian chess master Janis Klavins who in 1959 (two years earlier) tried it against Mikhail Tal, though Tal managed to win the game!!!

[Tleemur]

Imagine playing against Tal and seeing him sac the queen. You know your end is imminent.

[MagnusAnand]

When I see this kind of games I realize that I really suck at chess

[Piku]

Even though his record of 95 games in a row without losing is broken now, the fact that he managed to do that with this play style blows my mind.

[ajtayo]

Tal could sacrifice his king and still win

[pradyumnamundhe]

Black does absolutely nothing wrong in this game... Still tal wins..

[quangnguyenvan]

Tal simply is the greatest chess attacking master of all time! Mind-blowing sacrifices, elegant moves, brilliant beautiful attacks. His games are works of arts

[shivangmittal]

After seeing ur videos mikhail tal became my favorite player
Plz upload his more videos of sacrificing his pieces...

[kishandey]

I actually couldn't control my laughter after watching the sacrifices, out of amazement and fascination just to be clear!? ;)

[VBPism]

A mind blowing game by Tal. Many thanks for publishing the same.

[michael]

What a game ? Tal is definitely the greatest attacking genius Chess has known since ages.

[longbeachboy]

'I think I will sacrifice my queen' is a phrase I rarely utter myself...

[Abralejen]

“What are you doing Mikhail Tal” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
