Yes, indeed. On top of that, can we say that the knight hits Black's self-confidence as well? 🤔

Thanks for your support! It would be great indeed! In fact, there are many chess coaches (even chess academies) who use my materials to teach their students. They do it "unofficially" 🤫so it would be nice if someone does it in a normal way.

Absolute magical of Tals.

love the enthusiasm!

I began to study chess, since i found this Tal's game analyze

It was unable to believe Ka1 did so many miracles even listening the explanation behind it.... Rc1 was the move I always expect to play myself in such a position... I was able to read these moves after the video went halfway down... Great explanation sir!!!

0:10 I came to see how White managed to make Black smother his king with so many pieces and pawns. But this is where you *start* ...

This game shows the brilliancy of Tal. It's not surprising he became the world chess champion.

Thanks really chess isn't like just chess it also includes imagination and combinations

Brilliant!!

What a game!

Thanks. Another beautiful game by Tal. I wonder who the unlucky opponent was🙂.

Mind-boggling!

This is called prophylactic move, great play, Tal!

It's not triple. It's quadruple fork. It's even hitting bhishop

That's why Tal is the greatest player

what a game from the magician

Hello sir how are you I watch all your videos because i love chess 🥰🥰

Look at how he dismantled that invincible defense like it was nothing! SMH With King to A1!

What a game 🤯

Did not see that, but I love quiet moves and have been trying to make those types of moves in my games.

Not many players would find a move like that. Carlsen (with all the respect to his talents) might think "I've got an h-pawn to promote, that's all I want" 🙂

Mind-blowing ! And I'm happy your cat is not dead, it finally moved

I don't know how many move ahead these grandmasters can see, is it on the ceiling?

wow this blew my mind, such amazing foresight by Tal with Ka1, after running through some calculations black would of checkmated white if not for the Ka1 move, with the whole Qxc2+ check, Ka1, Qc1+ check, Rxc1 then Rcxc1# checkmate! a simple but effective back rank mate, playing Ka1 stopped all this and aloud Tal to seamlessly, break apart blacks tight defense in his signature Sacrificial Aggressive Style! Mikhail Tal is by far one of the best chess players to watch and study. never a boring game and im new to chess, only been into it for just over a month, but i know about Tal! great vid Igor! luv how you present the knowledge you have in a fun and passionate way, ur partly responsible for my now love for chess! Thankyou fan from Manchester England

What about r f7... Not qa5?

Nice cat!

Who played black in this match? They played a helluva game. BTW, Мне нравится твой голос. И мне нравится ваша презентация. Ничего не меняйте. 🙂

At 6:57 white can first deliver check by Q x a7 and after black king moves then he can grab the bishop!!! So it is not necessary to stand the white rook on c1!!! Is it correct???

Nice kaayo ni ba nga laro

Tal . Mr. Fantastic

I dealt an interesting checkmate against an opponent at my local chess club today. Most of the power pieces on both sides were gone(I still had my queen), but I managed to promote a pawn to a queen and checkmate their king(white) on the H-file with the two queens.

Because Tal >Stockfish.

tal himself is a brilliant move

The cat in the back has a higher ELO than most of us watching :)

F5 was a BIG MISTAKE

i had an otb game recently where i played Ka8 so that my opponent couldn't check my king when i was hunting his down. But my position was definitely easier to calculate than this lol edit: i was white i meant Kh1

I found ka1 as one of my moves!!!

Magic only Tal could conjure up!

Second guy to comment.. youre the best remote chess academy !!

Traps all over the board !! What if black doesn't play pawn to F4 ?

Cat is sleeping behind!

Kh1 is still a blunder objectively. a5 equalises.

This is not a trap. This is the game. talk ya death like always. Still a good game.

I have a few rounds on Tuesday

Tal, magnus, and Kasparov are the top 3 GOATS!!!!! Period!!!

This match was played against whom???

Is the cat behind you real? It slept through the entire video.

What if black dont push that pawn?..

Your content is great, just a minor gripe for me it’s “white’s knight” not “the white’s knight”. Your English is excellent but it hurts every time you use “the” when it’s not needed.

yes, the normal way of honesty. May Jesus bless your family and all that you do. Amen

"super evil"????! Evil is self-quantified as stronger than bad, therefore evil is meaningless. Same when you said super crucial, crucial is stronger than important so therefore unneeded. Most strange.

Amazing game played by Tal.. OMG🙄🙄🤡🤡

first one to comment give me a gift

That I have ever seen, not saw. Please learn your language properly if you want international viewers thank you
