    In that same tournament in Barcelona in 1992, Tal's last ever game was a win vs Akopian with white. His final move in that game was Ke1, upon which his opponent (who was getting mated) resigned. After such a momentous career, Tal's final move in a tournament game was the King returning to his home square.

At 15:50 when he comes back to Be3 it is +4.4 for the exact same position. It took Stockfish 42 SECONDS TO EVALUATE THE POSITION CORRECTLY!!! DAMN! Tal was truly a GENIUS!

    Morphy and Tal were both spoken of highly by the local masters here in NYC. Many other names like Capablanca and Alekhine came up often and of course everyone loved Nimzowitsch but the heaps of praise were not for Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi, or Fisher or any of the contemporary giants we saw in the headlines. It was all about Tal. Thanks for giving us some perspective on why this was.

    According to a friend of mine, Tal also had arthritis. He picked up the pieces using the middle knuckles, not the finger tips. This was when he was playing against a lot of people in a park in Oslo, Norway. My friend lost his game against Tal. but he still called it the most memorable game of his life.

    @@tobyonatabe2601 oh no, Botvinnik had Tal in high regard, but what he meant is that Tal's sacrifices were based on instinct. If you accepted them you would either manage to hold the match and keep your extra material, or get crushed anyways, that was the most common outcome. What I meant is that most of them were, at some point during the consequent attack, refutable, otherworldly hard to refute, yes, but not impossible. Check some Nezhmetdinov games, they were very similar. Crazy ideas, beautiful ideas, but not *bulletproof* ones, at least theoretically.

    Yes Levy, please, MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS. Maybe you could do a whole series of these single-player biographical videos, focused on the most exciting players of their time. Tal may be the best example, but you could add Bronstein, Keres, Larsen, Tartakower, Nimzovich, Reti, Marshall--players who maybe didn't hit the very top, but were very close to it, who took huge risks and created brilliancies. And they were also great annotators, of their own games and those of their contemporaries (Bronstein on the 1953 Zurich Candidates is beyond brilliant). You could comment on their annotations as you play through the games, and whether they stand up now. And Judit Polgar--she belongs on the list too, for sure.

    Great coverage on the Tal games. Is by far my favorite GM to study. While Tal was good at calculating, getting himself has admitted that a lot of his moves and sacrifices were purely intuitive. He would just find ways to complicate the games. He said that while he couldn’t calculate everything on the board, he also knew his opponent couldn’t either. In fact a lot of his opponents ran into time trouble quite often because of trying to calculate the best moves, which is exactly what happened in his last game against Kasparov.
