When Tal sacrifices a piece it's always the beginning of the end.

"that night wasn't his day" hilarious!!

[sarahrangelov]

Tal does whatever it takes to prevent his opponent from castling. Fuster should've castled when he had the chance. Lovely game, and lovely commentary! Thanks Mato!

Geza Fuster was a fixture of the Toronto chess scene for many years, especially at the Toronto Central Chess Club, and played in numerous Canadian Closed championships (a FIDE Zonal Qualifier). He worked in maintenance at the high school I attended (a large building; half of it is actually "Teachers' College"--Ontario College of Education). At least once he gave a simul in the high-school library against the high-school students.

That is why I love TAL !! He makes you think of EVERYTHING !!!

When Mato posts a video from Mikhail Tal, usually its a spectacular game (we also know it can't be a normal game :D ). the game where Tal sacrifice his piece for devastating attack or where Tal sets a trap/a puzzle that is hard to be solved for other players. What i want to say, what my point is, people say "moves are obvious" or "i knew he will do that" (just because its Tal and you only search for Tal kind of move), but they forget one thing, 99% of them would not dare to play such a moves because they know its risky and they are afraid to play that kind moves even with slightly better position and most important it requires deep calculation and previous preparation of moves. That's the thing that seperate good players from greatest players. :) I have one favour Mato, if you could post some videos from Jobava, as from my point of view, he's todays Tal :D

[endlesssilence]

The Magician from Riga! Great Video as usual Mato

[franckferrante]

Another great game by Tal, once more !

[cyrilsanthosh]

This game is absolute Tal`s beauty.Good Job Mato.

[apostolvictor]

I found Bxe6 awesome move ! great video once more, Tal's games are the best

"generally speaking" < great comment (and delivery)

[servicemale]

Do they show screenings of Mato's commentary on Tal's game in heaven?

[pmkoukg]

Amazing……. These moves is beyond normal human minds.

[ManishGupta-cent]

Tal never made a match boring. 99% matches i played/seen find a boring endings.

[sanskarsingh]

Can you upload the match betn magmus carlsen and gary kasparov which got draw

[SharkBite]

I was most impressed by the moves g4 and later fxg3.

[fporretto]

A nice game, but was Tal really legendary at that point? He hadn't yet won a Candidates', and he was barely 22 years old!

[testplatform]

Tal played like he was making chess puzzles, with the 'forced' cooperation from his opponent 😊

[alvinlepik]

It's amazing to see players, that all know Tal was out of this world with his chess intuition, give Tal the chance to compromise Any hope of castling for the cost of just a minor piece. whereas if they would have kept cool, they could play with even material and castle and be safe.. I guess Tal really was a hypnotist.

[navneethramakrishnan]

2:50 can he play Nxf7 and then Rf1 with ideas like Bxe6 and so on? Seems like an interesting variation instead of pawn push on the h file
