    The funniest game that I've ever watched, every move Mikhail Tal played from the opening to the end was a mistake, inaccuracy and beautiful at the same time. As Mikhail used to say "you must take your opponent into a deep dark forest.." and this game is a great example. 😂

    At 7.36 surley best move for white is queen G6. This forces queen to take back on g6 or the king to move away hanging a rook. Then white could retake the queen on g6 with pawn with discovered attack on g file with rook winning the black rook on h7 and threatening promotion. Am i correct in saying this as i am not good with chess

    It can see like 15 moves in advance and from there it can evaluate the position better than human. However, computer can make mistakes and some ideas can be missed by him. Like in the other game I showcased where three pieces were trapped and computer was evaluating like a victory for the person who had his pieces trapped.
