| dakgootje: Yes about the f4 and g4 moves, i had a time (quite short though), that i tried the idea quite often, but most of the time it didnt work out too well. Are there any rules or something when it is a good time to play such king-exposing moves. as sometimes when i look through a mastergame i see such a move, think its a mistake, and turnes out brilliant... Or arent there any general ideas for and is it just intuition? |

| LPeristy: I'd imagine that Nezhmetdinov would have seen the terminating combination the when he played e5 which is amazing to me. |

| kevin86: If black had not resigned,the next move would have been a fork of the king and queen. Tal certainly moved the pieces about as good as anyone in history. |

| ahmadov: I guess the venue inspired the Tatar to play such a brilliant game against the living legend of the time. |

| beatles fan: Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov, what a brillant player! Can't believe I've never heard of him before |

| cpalape: what beautiful game from the Tartar! |

| alaTurca: I read that Nezhmetdinov was not allowed to participate in international tournaments until he was forty. And then only occasionally... This is probably why he is not that famous. As to why he was not allowed, I am not sure but this may have something to do with his being a Tartar. Tartars were fierce fighters and may have been victims of Russian assimilation after Russia annexed their country in late 18th century. |

| chancho: <TheBB: I would've played 20...Qxf4 without thinking twice.> That would be one hell of a move from d8. (not to mention that it's illegal) Perhaps you meant 20.Qxf4? |

| TheBB: Whops. You're nearly right. 21. Qxf4. :) |

| dabearsrock1010: what an awesome game! its crazy to see tal just get run over in this game...normally youd see him lose because of a speculative sacrifice or something |

| Chesstalesfan: I am sleeping with this game. I saw that Tal played 21...Bh4 instead of 21..Bxe5. Then the game was followed
22. Sf6+ Qxf6 23.exf6 Bxf2 24.Kxf2 Bxg2 25 Kxg2 etc Afterwards they went to the endgame and the great Tal was even happier that very , very day ..in Baku. |

| kamalakanta: This game was played when Tal was at the height of his powers. I specially like the move 24.Qd4!, which will win the bishop AND prevents 0-0-0 by Black. It is incredible how White demolishes Black's position. |

| slashed: If you mentioned to me that Tal was playing but not which colour, never in a thousand years would I have thought him to be black! |

| dTal: The Nezh indeed was a great player, but in all of his serious encounters with Tal, he played White... A fairly big advantage. I think Tal was the only one capable of taking his insanely brilliant style right to the very top. There were many pretenders in this style, but only one champion. The key was, Tal also had a very good positional sense, and was very erudite in openings. Occasionally of course, he would be on the receiving end! I think for a brief perid in the 70s he was an even stronger player than when he reached the zenith, but alas he did not have the furious energy of youth, and he could never escape ill health or personal tragedy or political machinations long enough to reach the finals again. |

| hkannan2000: For one of the most brilliant Nezhmetdinov games, there is one against Polugayevsky. I don't remember the year. |

| Sularus: this is what happens when two ultra-sharp attacking players collide. |

| kooley782: Tal was an excellent sport after this game, and it has been already stated that when Tal was asked when was the happiest day of his life, he said that it was when he played this game. Love it when two of the greatest attacking players ever meet on the board! Too bad Nezhmetdinov never earned the GM title. He sure deserved it! |

| birthtimes: Even though he was one of many who suffered from discrimination, Nezhmetdinov was a GRAND MASTER, and is acknowledged as one by those who know the game... |
|

| MaxxLange: <birthtimes> right! there were many great Soviet GMs, perhaps not as gifted as Nezhmetdinov, who are mostly unknown in the West, for various reasons. Nezhmetdinov died young, in addition to his political troubles, and his play wasn't really known in, say, the USA, until about 10-15 years after that |
