I Will Have My Revenge! | Bobby Fischer's First Win Against Mikhail Tal

Tal and Fischer were shoulder to shoulder through the 15th round, but in the final four rounds Bobby won only one game and drew three, scoring only 2.5 points; while in reverse, Tal drew one and won three, scoring 3.5. In round 16, Tal won from Germek, but Fischer only drew with Keres. Tal now led with 12 points, followed by Bobby with 11.5; and Gligoric and Petrosian with 11. In round 17, Bisguier beat Geller in excellent style. Tal against Pachman played eight consecutive Pawn moves in the opening, and still won. But Fischer only drew with Najdorf. Now Tal led by a whole point, having 13; Gligoric crept up alongside of Fischer, with 12; then came Petrosian with 11.5, and Keres with 11. In round 18, the next to the last round, Tal quickly drew his own game, expecting Petrosian to make quick work of Bobby, but when the latter defeated the USSR champion, the crowd roared. After round 18, Tal with 13.5, led Bobby by only half a point. If Bobby won his last round game, and Tal drew, they would be co-champions. Gligoric had 12.5; with Keres and Petrosian a point behind.

But in the final round, the 19th, Tal won against Najdorf, and Fischer only drew against Ivkov. Tal was first, and Fischer second. In the scramble for third place, Gligoric lost to Petrosian for his only loss in the tournament, and Keres beat Donner, thus bringing about a triple tie for third place between Gligoric, Keres and Petrosian.

It's absolutely poetic that Fischer beats Tal for the first time by not only using Tal's own style of sacrificing his queen, but making sure that Tal's own *queen* was the last to go, completely reversing every expectation you could have going into this game. Such an excellent display.

[Hitendrapratap]

I like that you tell interesting stories. The game gets so much more interesting to watch. Thanks for the good work!

[Puratinamu]

Keep this analysis up, these videos are getting me interested in chess again. I had stopped playing for several years but these videos analyzing old chess games have brought me back into the game. Thanks

[saenstopie]

"And this is the first move of Fischer that isn't engine favourite" THAT'S NASTY.

[flyingfox]

I like the little bit of history you add to the match like Tal's quote after the match🙌

[conjured_up_skeletons]

The way he decided to beat him in his own style instead of the immediate winner Bh5... man, stone cold assassin behavior.

[niranjanindia]

The one thing I like the most in Tal is that he doesn't give up till the end even if it's a losing position.

[vincentvanveen]

Tal was an amazing sport to accept what was obviously his own trap played against him. He must've known he was lost and just wanted to see the show.
Thanks for all the good stuff, Agad. I love most of your vids but this one is my favorite!

[barryholmes]

Yep, you’ve rekindled my interest in chess too. First learnt to play in 1972, so Fischer, Tal, Spassky et al were – and are – my heroes. Tal was always my favourite: his games are savage works of art. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

[rahulmistry]

What a way to win against the magician ... and your way of explaining the game is just amazing. Feels like watching a thriller, which it is.

[cristiangamboa]

2 things, number one this guy has gotten so much better doing videos with time, and second, I hate to see Tal losing.

[Yahya-tjhk]

If you not tell who was black / white, nobody would think Tal was black pieces in this game

[gillrowley]

I love how Bobby hated the Soviet system, but he had Russian chess player friends. Tal and Spassky especially.

[katewild]

Wow the way Bobby gave up his queen how many players in the the world could do that and still win amazing.

[jeremyharris]

I'm no expert but that looked like a crazy game

[matthewrobson]

A few silly comments I can see, from people who are probably only capable of criticizing. Thanks for the videos, doing a great job.

[greghuth]

Going back is quite the treat and, simultaneously, quite the shock. You have certainly grown in your abilities, including your production!

[venomgaming]

With your videos and their explanations my game has improved greatly; by 200+!
The visions and foresight have been very enlightening. I Currently joined the USCF and plan to go on to start playing tournaments.
Thank you so much for your time and expertise!

[jessezander]
