Tal isn't especially known for it, but he was an incredible endgame player as some of these games show. He could convert any kind of advantage, he wasn't just playing for tricks with these sacrifices.

The real Tal was intuitive kind of player, kind of like Nepo, if Nepo was any good because Nepo plays bad moves quickly and loses. The thing with Tal was that he played unsound sacrifices quickly and won. To him being in like -3 positions (with white) meant that he was about to win. On his own death bed, Tal made an unsound sac against Kasparov and flagged Gary without mercy.

yeah, he is a incredible player. Just insanely good aggresively.

I've always respected Tal the most because he was definitely one of the kind. Levy, thank you for covering these games. I always get fascinated by Tal somehow making knights worth more than bishops. I think his opponents were like, "Well, bishops are worth more than knights, right?" and after about 20 moves, their bishops standing there staring at nothing is just horrendous. What a genius!

I really enjoy watching "historical" chess (if you can call chess from the 60s and 70s historical lmao), especially Tal's games, your casting fits well with his unpredictable playstyle. I kindly request for more content like this!

These kinds of historical chess primarily 20th century videos are just the best

Levy you're a very good orator and this video was an example. The way you explain chess moves and lines in simple terms really makes it fun to watch

The historical videos and the tournament recaps are my favorite videos you put out. I love tals playing style

Everytime i see games of Tal showcased like this I cant help but be in awe of his style of play. Truly a magician on the chess board.

It's really cool that my little country has this famous and great chess player!

A similar story happened to Capablanca. His first big tournament was San Sebastian thanks to pressure from Marshall, but the other grandmasters refused to let the young man play. Finally Capablanca participated and won. A video about this part of history would also be amazing like this one. Thank you!
