 | | patzer2: <Gypsy> Good catch on my comment about 25...Be6 26. Nxe6! leading to a "won endgame." It does indeed do more than "win back the exchange," snaring a piece with a decisive attack after any reasonable Queen move on Black's 26th and 27. Nxf8+ (discovered check). |

| Apr-08-05 | | chess man: When looking up this variation in the Sicilian, it didn't surprise me when Tal's name popped up. |

| Jun-30-05 | | nikolaas: <patzer2: <ice lemon tea> After <prs>'s 25...Be6 26. Nxe6! White wins back the exchange, and with Black's messed up pawn structure (all isolated and doubled pawns) and pawn deficit, will win the endgame. Note that after 25...Be6 26. Nxe6! Qxc2?? 27. Nd4+ , Black can resign. >
How is black lost after 27....Qd4? I don't see it and that frustrates me :-( |
|
| Aug-01-05 | | Averageguy: I like the point 27...Rf7 28.Qh8+ Be8 29.Ne6+ winning the queen. Wonderful game. |

| | notyetagm: 33 ...  e8-e6?
click for larger viewBlack has just committed a highly instructive blunder that Tal (White) immediately exploits. By playing 33 ... e8-e6? Black has placed a rook on the e6-square where it is both <UNDEFENDED> *and* makes a <KNIGHT FORK ALIGNMENT> with the Black b7-queen for the light-squared White b3-knight. Tal sees that the Black d6-pawn must <DEFEND> the c5-forking square of the light-squared White b3-knight and therefore cannot also <BLOCK> the d-file. <<<So Tal understands that the d-file is *actually* open, since the Black c5-pawn is committed to moving off of this file to <DEFEND> the c5-square>>>. If the d-file is open, not <BLOCKED> by the Black d6-pawn because of its commitment to <DEFEND> the c5-square, then the Black king may not step onto the d-file. Tal then forced instant resignation with 34  d3-c4+! 1-0. 34 d3-c4+! 1-0
click for larger viewBlack resigned because 34 d3-c4+! is a <QUEEN FORK> of the Black c7-king and <UNDEFENDED> Black e6-rook. The only way to meet the twin threats of 35 c4x c7 and 35 c4xe6 is by 34 ... c7-d7. But 34 ... c7-d7 creates a <PIN> along the d-file which allows the <KNIGHT FORK> 35  b3-c5+, forking the Black b7-queen, d7-king, a4-bishop, and(!) e6-rook. (CONTINUATION)
34 ... c7-d7 35 b3-c5+ <knight fork>
click for larger viewNow *that's* what I call a <KNIGHT FORK>. :-) |

| | notyetagm: <Infohunter: <InfinityCircuit> if this game looks familiar, it is possibly because the position just before the last move (34 Qc4+) is given as the very first entry in Irving Chernev's 1960 book, _Combinations: The Heart of Chess_.> Thanks, I was wondering from where I was referred to this game. |
|
| Oct-01-08 | | drukenknight: I think it is also featured as a one move problem in one of Fred Reinfeld's beginner books on chess. |
|
| Oct-17-09 | | zev22407: 23)... b3! is a great counter shot! |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | wandererofmars: the last move, Qc4+, was amazing |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | Llawdogg: Fantastic Tactics! All kinds of double attacks and pins. And if black had played on one more move, we might have seen a quadruple fork! The white knight had every black piece in his sights. I would have played one more move as black just to let the world see Tal's fork play out over the board. Be a real man, Clay Man. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | 5hrsolver: 26.Qh4+ instead of Qg7 is a great move. Black is forced to play the pawn to f6 where it can be picked off later. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | backrank: One of my favourite games of all time.
Tal lets it look that easy, he plays with such seemingly effortless elegance, that it almost leaves the impression of a Morphy vs NN game ! |

|
| Jan-17-11 | | rilkefan: <<5hrsolver>: 26.Qh4+ instead of Qg7 is a great move. Black is forced to play the pawn to f6 where it can be picked off later.> Maybe the real point was to get the queen centralized via f6->d4. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | rilkefan: Hmm, g7->d4 would be as good, and Re4 instead of Ba4 would hold d4, so I guess the pawn was in fact the point. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | WhiteRook48: 34...Kd7 35 Nc5+ |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | W O C E: He's Klaman through your windows, he's snatchin' yo' people up. Tryin' to r.. |

| | kevin86: Open king vs protected king-white wins this one. |
|
| Jan-29-11 | | gourav27: The main theme of this game:when opponent king fails to castle,attack him by opening central files |
