May-24-05		like a GM: 24.Nh8!, 29.Ne4!! Who needs knights anyway? Brilliant moves from a player who does whatever Anderssen tells him to do ("Attack, always attack")!

May-24-05		Heavy Metal Thunder: Nh8 is creepy!

Dec-06-06		sahmattr: If Anderssen saw his game, he would be very jealous of Tal. He was a real chess genious.

Dec-06-06		flamboyant: Nh8 came as a shock to me, but when you look closely it is a really logical move, but hard to find OTB (of course if its a puzzle of the day its easier to see, because youre looking for the weird move)

Dec-18-08		ChessYouGood: Tal was probably still 16 at the time of this destructive performance.

Dec-03-09		kooley782: <flamboyant> That's the point: Tal always looked for the weird move. :)

Jul-30-10		whatthefat: This game has made me realize I've been playing far too positionally of late.

Jul-30-10		1. h4: Piket vs Kasparov, 1989 Kasparov's famous 28...Nh1! might have been inspired by Tal's 24.Nh8! in this game. Two very similar motifs.
