Beating Kasparov is a flex
Beating in 18 moves is next level
Beating just one month before his death is just crazyy

I love mikhail tak because he was the only person to make Bobby fischer think that he is not the only genius in chess, a tribute time this legend and one of the greatest attackers of all times

Mikhail tal is the reason I fell in love with the game of chess. His ability to sacrifice pieces and create chaos on the board were awe inspiring. I’d never thought in a million years that a game of chess could be enjoyable. Seeing his brilliant attacking concepts paired with his relentless pressure makes the game of chess infinitely more interesting. I hate how some people try to discredit Tals play by saying how bad it is with engine analysis. Enjoy the beauty of his chess and let’s all simply appreciate who Misha was. RIP to the Magician of Riga. A true LEGEND

Mikhail Tal is very different than Bobby or magnus. His goal was to create magic on the chessboard doesn’t matter if he wins or lose.

[ratulmondal]

if you don't understand why the queen is sacrificed, it means you are watching Mikhail Tal's game.

[efstathiosbranikas]

Only Tal could have the magician title. And Bobby agreed to that.

There is difference between hobby and passion 😉

Bobby fischer's win rate is 57% probably. Magnus carlsen win rate is 42%+. Obviously Magnus got the most competitive opponents. And Mikhail Tal's win rate is 65%+. He was awesome ❤

Bobby Fischer got me into chess. Magnus got me inspired. And Mikhail made me stay.

Some are famous due to chess.Some people make chess famous..he is a kind❤

[lazyweeb]

There's got to be something so poetic about a man who doesn't quit on his own craft out of pure love and passion for that sport and dedicates his entire life on it until death meets him.

[Football_EdiTzYT]

this person is the most inspiring chess never fails to amuse me.

Magnus and Bobby played to win, with engine like precision. Tal on the other hand played for the love of the game, as some would say, played for the crowd! The beautiful sacrifice made a person sitting in time pressure to crack, but engines do refute his lines. Nonetheless we are humans, so the creativity of Tal is what make him best chess player to watch, of all time IMO.

When the world needed him most, HE VANISHED

[Foralluhaterz]

Tal was the best, hands down, took chess to the grave with him whilst these guys were too afraid
