How Nezhmetdinov never became a GM baffles me. Nezhmetdinov is to Tal, what Tal is to others.

I have never seen moves like this, they are so, _mystical_ . 1) These moves are in depth, a normal chess player could not see through these moves. 2) The attacks are quite different, because they are offering pieces to brutally check the King. Even in fact some of the pieces seems very tempting, there lies a deadly trap waiting to trigger at every corner. *Now I know why this game is remembered*

Tal gets the dose of his own medicine

Rashid Nizshmidinov is the type of guy that fails easy questions but is the boss of difficult work out problems. #BossMove

First time I have seen Tal got trapped like Tal traps his opponents. Wow.

WWII interrupted the prime years of his chess career. Imagine Fischer or Tal not playing from age 24-32. if WWII and Stalinism hadn't happened, Neshy would have been regarded as one of the top 10 players ever. Keep in Mind that Fischer and Kasparov were both was 27-29 at the height of their chess careers as was Karpov, Petrosian, Botvinnik, etc. etc. etc.

"Stalinism"... You people are so afraid of him. If it wasn't for him, chess would not have been nearly as big as it was in the USSR. Botvinnik, the founder of the Soviet chess school, was a communist and a supporter of Stalin. Keep your liberal propaganda out of chess, especially since it was the communists who really brought it to prominence.

I learned a lot from Tal's losing moves, which pretty much sums up how brilliant this game is.

Watching this game helped me realise some truths about my own game. 1. It doesn't matter how good you are, the opponent is always a major threat. 2. Being concered with rating, and with winning for the sake of it, impedes improvement. So many chess players are obsessed with their victory statistic. Chess is an independent organism, it is an infinitely beautiful artwork, dynamic and ever changing. You have a hand in composition, your goal is to improve your ability to compose. Sometimes this means your side is defeated beautifully by the other, and that's part of why we love chess. We are always involved with the artwork, our job is to simply compose. But the artwork always concludes, our decisions determine in what form it concludes. It's a bit like an infinite narrative. To digress, I was playing a much lower rated player. In the last 2 days I've beaten him 30 times, and havent lost a single game. Yet, yesterday, he found an incredible rook sacrifice that forced a draw, and force the draw he did. It just astonishes me. Chess sometimes resembles a higher power. It plays you more than you play it.

Rashid was better chess player than Botvinnik and other champions.Sometimes destiny is hard with the genius.Good video;Thanks.

Hats off to you agadmator. You described and payed respect to a legend in a legendary way by saying "Better to be a legend who never became a grandmaster than a grandmaster who never became a legend".

Wow, the precision with which Nezhmedtinov capitalized on Tal’s hard to explain bishop move... so elegant. Thank you for sharing this game!

​@@manasjaiswal1473you are on drugs FR! Tal's bishop blunder was a result of all the masterstrokes Rashid threw at him throughout the game. Tal once said that the day on which he lost this game to Rashid was the best day of his entire life. Random people are literally nobodies if a legend like Tal himself hyped Rashid up.

In the end, very nicely said, better to be a legend without a GM title than a GM without a legend 👏👏👏

I love how prepared you are for each video. There are no cuts and you explain every variation of every important move flawlessly. Its awesome)

Tal puts the bishop on f6 for preventing Knight d8 threating rook takes e8 and also preventing the entering of the rook in the seventh rank. Thanks for your videos agadmator.

Nezhmetdinov's playlist on the channel missed this video. Alas!

Tal was setting a trap for capturing the dangerous Knight on e6. Bf6 to be followed by Bc8 and the rook on d7 has to move at the same time it can't occupy any square defending the Knight on e6. Rashid, though, found a sequence where he needn't defend rook on d7 and could checkmate the Black's King with other rook.

The great Tal sliced and diced. Wow. I wonder if Nezhmetdinov, with those Dracula eyes in the photo you show here, really looked that way in real life. Scary.

agadmator did say that h8 rook wasnt getting into the game but tal did the best moves to get it into the game even though he probably already knew he lost, he just wanted to lose strong, as it was indeed a beautiful game. that bishop f6 blunder isnt really easy to see anyways.

Maravilloso ataque..gracias

I loved this video, all those moves starting with f4-f5 were just so funny, then Bf6 was sooooooo funny, especially considering that this is Tal of all people and he's getting confused playing strange moves right into white's imagined variations haha.

Beautiful game.

This is art !!

Always love to watch Nezhmetdinov do what he does best.

I am an excellent subscriber coming from 400k subscribers and thanks for two hearts

Beautiful

congratulations you are about to get 70 thousand subscribers You must have good ideas for this

Two wizards... Great!!

Since tal was under terrible pressure of the kingside attack, he might've blundered bishop f6 since it adds further protection to the g7 square, and psychologically it looks like he's freeing up some space

thank you

Rashid style is just from another world

Rashed such amazing player. He schooled the great tal

When you realise there are two Tal's looking at you

This is magical ❤️

It's always fun to see a Tal game even on the losing side.

"Can simply go" isn't the style of the Pirate of Latvia rather the style of the Cuban legend. You made me learn that.

Man, this game was amazing!

Tal always plays beautiful games. His games in present ages looks Immortal.

This was so beautiful ... weird now all the games are similar ...

Beautiful😜

Nezh is a master of the endgame..

At 7:00 maybe Tal played the bishop to avoid Rashid playing Nd8? That opens up the line for the rook on e1, and blocking Black's own rook at a8?

Lovely game.

Brilliant game....

it was really magical

Im early for 2 of my favorite attackers

Great channel. I have never played the game, but I like watching. Can you make a video with slower explanations?

The reason Tal played 25...Bf6 was that he was "Nezhmetdinoved" just like Tal's opponents used to get "Taled" in front of Tal.

It was hard to get GM title in Communist Russia even after Stalin died (Impossible when he lived) because FIDE was giving the titles for international games and it was hard to leave Russia. From wikipedia: "I played my first tournament after my marriage in Sochi. This was the Russian SFSR championship, and it was won by Nezhmetdinov, one of the strongest Soviet masters. For some reason, he was very rarely allowed to go abroad, and obviously, he never became a grandmaster because of that." - Korchnoi "I came to chess too late, as a 17-year-old man with no theoretical knowledge, whereas all the champions - Botvinnik, Smyslov, Spassky, Petrosian and Tal received training from the age of seven or eight….Yes, I could play some games with brilliance, and win prizes for beauty, but I was never able to achieve the holistic skills necessary for Grandmaster level” - Nezhmetdinov Let us also consider the other Soviet Players who became GMs around the time Rashid should have become one. 1954 - No player. 1955 - One player, Boris Spassky. He won the youth world chess championship and qualified for the Interzonal, where he got his grandmaster's norm. Boris was very lucky. The world championship in Antwerp ended on 8th August, and the Interzonal, which, luckily, was held in Gothenburg, began in a week - on 15th August. And Spassky got there in time, which, considering the Soviet bureaucracy of the time, was quite a feat. 1956 - One player, Viktor Korchnoi, by accumulated results. 1957 - One player, Mikhail Tal. He won the Soviet championship that year. In 1958 and 1959, no Soviet players became grandmasters. Therefore, in six years, from 1954 to 1959, only three Soviet players became grandmasters: Spassky, Tal and Korchnoi. How was Nezhmetdinov supposed to become a grandmaster if he never played in a tournament with grandmaster norms?

Great game

Rashid is awesome !

Hi, when two white rocks came on the positions of d7e6 then the black bishop can play on c8 to capture one of the white's rocks and finally the white will loss the game with replacing the bishop with while rock. thanks for your videos and they are nicely explained by you. good luck and see u on the tournaments. note: always avoid to put two rocks back to back in one line when the opposition bishop is still alive.
