dTal: Thanks Nerwal, simple tactic that I just couldn't see.

| | Oct-05-10 Fischer vs Letelier, 1959
| |
|
dTal: Those who think Fischer was a poor endgame player should either play through a games collection of his, or read a book such as "How Fischer Plays Chess" by David Levy. He was a superlative endgame player. If anything, he wasn't comfortable in the crazy tactics favoured by somebody like

dTal: Isn't 24. Be6 an even quicker win? Black rook is attacked, and there is no way to save it without getting mated. What am I missing?

| |
|
dTal: <nuwanda:
i like endgame puzzles...
interesting to know that in the resulting pawn ending after 74...Kd8 there exists another method to win. not stalemating the black king and pushing the g-pawn after f5, but forcing the promotion of d-pawn, using a classical triangle-maneuver ...

| |
|
dTal: Ah, ughaibu, the kibitzer with more Chess knowledge than Kasparov, thanks for your insightful comment. I guess that Kasparov sold many more books than he otherwise would have by including that one line about Tal. How many thousands would have simply spurned that volume if he hadn't ...

| |
|
dTal: <OBIT>, you are right, I got my wires crossed a little bit. Fischer had seen that Geller game and realised the potential of it. I don't think Geller ever mentioned it to Spassky because they probably never discussed this variation. Do you know of any account which says Spassky ...

| | Nov-03-09 Fischer vs C Incutto, 1960
| |
|
dTal: It was an oversight, both Fischer and Incutto missed 35 .. Nf3+!. This game was played at Mar Del Plata in 1960 which Spassky won ahead of Fischer. Spassky wrote an article for a Russian magazine afterwards, analysing Fischer's playing style, given that he and Spassky both were clearly

| | Oct-30-09 Kliavin vs Tal, 1954
| |
|
dTal: Dont get too excited folks, Tal was just going on 18 in 1954 when this was played I believe. The greatest Chess talent in history was a late bloomer, and was just learning his craft at this point..

| |
|
dTal: Because of his dazzling tactics, many people forget that Tal was a fine positional and endgame player. He should have been WC for ages.. What an effortless victory here.

dTal: Hmm.. that's not quite true, White needn't delay taking the rook as much as I thought.
