Nov-27-03		mack: For if 20...Qxh5 then 21. Ne7+ Kh7 22. Rxh5#

Nov-28-03		jaime gallegos: a brilliant triumph of Misha Tal, 19. Nf5 is the winning intermediate movement !!!

Apr-12-04		ArturoRivera: In move 15 isnt good bf5 pining the Knight and wining a piece in consequence?

Apr-12-04		Kenkaku: <ArturoRivera> 15...f6 and black is fine.

Apr-13-04		Honza Cervenka: Nice game.

Apr-13-04		akiba82: Was Tal already giving simultaneous exhibitions at age 12?

Apr-14-04		Kenkaku: <akiba82> This was most likely just an exhibition game, not from a simultaneous exhibition.

Apr-14-04		ToTheDeath: The date is wrong. It was played in Berlin in 1974.

Apr-14-04		ToTheDeath: If black tries to hold on with a move like 19... Qd7 then white plays 20 Nh6!+ gxh6 21. Qg4+ Kh7 22. Qg5 forcing mate.

Apr-14-04		ArturoRivera: <Kenkaku> f6? couldnt be answer with re1 Your comments are welcome, thanks for the advice, but another question: f6 couldnt be answer with re1?

Apr-14-04		Kenkaku: <ArturoRivera> 16. Re1 Bd6

Jun-22-04		ArturoRivera: ok, thanks kenkaku!

May-17-09		butilikefur: That's hilarious. I thought, could this be? Did Tal miss 16. Bxf8 Nxd4 17. Qg4 winning the exchange? Nope..

Jul-23-09		butilikefur: whoops.. 16...Qxh2+ mate
