Tal v. Keres. Two of my favorite players. Neither ever backs away from a challenge.

i barely calculate 3 moves for one piece. i realized that all scenarios agadmator shows us, tal was doing them lighting speed in his head, and probably calculating even more moves. truly art of chess.

Tal is immortal forever… His chess games are a beautiful work of art…

The classic story. Opponent refuses to be "tricked" into draw, then promptly throws away the game.

"Listen, and understand! That Talminator is out there. It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until your king is dead." -T1

The way he said "homefield advantage" is absolutely gorgeous.

The attack was so calm as to even protect the e4 pawn and so harsh as to give up a full rook on the Barnes' square g6

Tal is usually referred to as a magician, but I like to think of him as an artist.

Wow !! The level of planning and no-nonsense brutal aggression is just stunning. Just a really exceptional, and really crowd pleasing, player. (And Agad is a pretty amazing guide as well !! ).

Thanks for the show Misha! You're a pro at explaining the players' options. You are doing really well! Thanks!

Great game! In fairness, it was like two great heavyweights slugging it out.

That checkmating sequence at the end with the rooks and queens is just art in motion. Absolutely delightful!!

Dubov: "challenge accepted, hold my beer Tal: "that's my boy"😂

Nf6+ "you can't really take the knight" I couldn't help but laugh because what an insane move and WILD that Tal would know you couldn't take it

I was eating, I basically blinked and missed it, Tal was down a piece now he is up the exchnage wth lol, gotta go back!

Another example why this Riga citizen was called "magician"! ( and the magic came upon a superb chess player - Keres!)

Thank You. You really bring the games to life. Well done

thanks for always making great vids agad ive watched every one youve made for the past year and some change

That was nuts. Tal in super human form. Love it

He was a GEM who left us his amazing games.

That game was amazingly beautiful.

I've been studying the power of the heavy pieces especially Rooks and queens together so thank you for unbelievable lesson

Thanks for this video! Can't get enough Tal.

Please keep the new Tal games coming! Also we'd love to see some of the older Tal videos you'd id a few years ago redone!

That Nd5 was was very powerful and well thought move. Only Tall could think of this long term strategy. 😅🙌

Finding a move is easy like a puzzle. Building up to get to that point is another thing. How do they do that? Don’t even know what to make of it. Just enjoy and admire the human mind!!!!

Ok ok ok guys I’m here for the birthday Tal game. For my bday! Thank you all for all the likes from Tal game from his bday. 12:15EST in St. Petersburg in the states and yes it’s wine o’clock. Abundance to us all!

"Rook here can be captured,Rook here can be captured but neither rook can't really be captured"@12.33...!! Awesome analysis...!!

I persoanlly believe that world's best and totally unexpected games were played by Paul Morphy, Tal and Rashid only. Simply beautiful.

The Greatest Commentey on Tal was Given by none other than Agadmator, "The Rook Here can be captured, the rook here can be captured, but neither rook can Really be captured".

One of the things overlooked in Tal's career is that he qualified to play for the title after winning a candidates tournament. After that FIDE went to candidates matches and Tal never qualified again. Tal was better in tournament play than he was in match play. Few if any can match his tournament results.

Hay man I alway enjoy your videos, congratulations on the effort and result ! I haven't seen this game too, very, very interesting one indeed. One thing I noticed: Rf6, played in the final puzzle in your video .. actually I think Rh3 is even better instead, as now Q:h6 with last rank mate is really inevitable (Kh7 - R:g7+; Ng5 - R:g5)

Wow. Tal was casually brutal. Keres had no idea what was coming (and neither did I - that goes without saying). The queen and two rooks somehow took absolute control. 'The best defense is a strong offense' has always been the motto.

I’ve been watching Agadmator’s chess videos for years and I love how he explains the moves. Awesome videos. Thank you❤

What an amazing game. Thanks Tony for sharing this with us.

Amazing sir, thank you for stunning video

Keres must be definitely happy at that movement while Taal was offering his pieces. But later on he would've realised where is it going actually? 😅😅😅

They say that towards the end of his life Tal used to drink white wine and soda or spritzers. Like that he could drink all night.

With this much aggressive play, 100 game unbeaten streak is insane.

thanks ..really enjoyed the analysis

Awesome game ! Thank you !⭐️

In my experience, strictly as an amateur chess player, it's one thing to outplay your opponent and be in a somewhat "won" position, and proceed from there and actually checkmate your opponent. After you get the winning position, you cant mentally let down on your level of play. Your opponent goes into a defensive strategy. You could make the claim that a winning position isnt necessarily going to be an easy win.

It's a neat chess fact that in every position, b4 is always the strongest move.

me: *plays carefully, calculating everything & applying every ounce of knowledge & experience to every situation, and still lose every time* mikhail tal: *just throws his own pieces straight into a blender & wins 100/100 games*

Everyone can sac like tal, but only tal can get away with it

Keres, you not taking me into that forest where 2 + 2 = 5. I tried, but he still dragged me in there.

I like the fact that you explain why they move the certain piece. I learn the meaning behind every single move

Tal looked wild, played wild and smoked like a chimney. I hope he drank too much too!

Watching all these games I can only say that ' *Tal is ridiculously genius* '

Glad we're back to Tal! His games are the most entertaining

I would like to see you analyze Bronstein-Tal 1968 Soviet Team Cup. Tal played a Falkbeer, yet is was Bronstein who played a "Tal type sac". That game had a few mistakes, but it was interesting to see how Tal would defend a Tal attacking position.

I love when he plays these classics. The creativity is so much better than most players of today.

I admit I wasn't faithful the last few months. I've missed a lot of Agadmator's videos. But here comes Tal to put me back in order.
