| Oct-30-11 | | DrMAL: First about opening, 6.g4! is critical move today this is why Najdorf move order 5.a6 was added to Scheveningen theory (CG "Najdorf" above is incorrect but game transposed anyway) as I posted a few times, particularly in Karpov vs Kasparov, 1984 with silly argument from low level player starting on Aug-26-11 and ending with stupid statement(s) on Sep-08-11. In any event Keres attack with early g4! was not well explored 50 years ago when game was played, it became key problem for Kasparov in 1984 WC match where he invented addition of Najdorf 5.a6 to avoid it. Usual setup then was played here where, with 8.f4 already played, 9.g4 was very risky, creating sharp doubled-edged game as expected from these two attacking geniuses. Move 9.g4 is well justified by white's big lead in development and by black's lack of space. 11...Nc5 logically adds pressure to e4 but it was not best plan, simply 11...h6 to stop 12.g5 or 11...Nb6 (for Nfd7) were certainly better. 12...e5?! follows basic idea to counter flank attack in center but here it created weaknesses on f5 and d5 giving white some edge. With moves that followed 15.Nh6! stopped 0-0 and attacked f7 pawn, 15...Ne6 was strong defensive reply. But after 16.Bg2 threatening N on f6, 16...Nf4 was better than 16...Be7?! to prevent 17.Rxf6! sac Rashid played. Now black K has no safe place, this becomes more evident after 18.Nd5! where maybe 18...Bxd5 was better but then white's bishop pair after Be3 are extremely strong, particularly in endgame later on. As noted by other analyses simply 21.Qxf4! gives big advantage with usual LS play later on, but Nezmetdinov played 21.e5!? in his magical style. Here, 21...Bh4! was correct way to defend but finding how OTB is nearly impossible to see (22.Qd4 Rf8! 23.Rd1 Rc8! can actually hold). Instead Tal played what appears to be only OK move (21...Bg5 looks ugly) and 22.Re1! creates nasty pin. This is where game fell apart, 22...Bxd5 23.Rxe5+ was best with solid advantage white and 22...Qd6?! probably loses after 23.Qd4 or 23.c4 but 22.f6? lost on spot to 23.Nxf6+! Qxf6 24.Qd4! finish afterwards was just one way for white to complete this timeless, fabulous game. |

| Mar-26-14 | | Mating Net: White has a Royal Fork with 30.Nf7 on the way. Very similar to Tal vs K Klaman, 1957 when White had a Royal Fork coming as well. I'll bet that Tal would have given up smoking and drinking if he could have switched places with Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov in this game. |

 | | thegoodanarchist: <Cemoblanca: Great game GRAND MASTER!> Actually, Nezhmetdinov never gained the GM title - he died an IM. Which is incredible to me. Anyone who wins the Russian championship once should get the GM title, and he won 5 of them! At one time in history winning an IZT automatically came with the GM title. Russian championship was nearly as strong, if not as strong, as some IZTs, I expect. |

 | | LucB: I love the fact that, despite castling King side and playing 6. Be2 - thus perhaps indicating positional intentions - it's an all out attack on the enemy position.. neat stuff! |
|
| Sep-27-16 | | Boomie: ->
To get a sense of how much Tal loved chess, he said the day he lost to Super Nezh was the happiest day of his life. |
|
| Dec-15-17 | | Ironmanth: Phenomenal attack! We each and all dream of just one game such as this in a lifetime! Thanks, y'all. |
|
| Jun-03-18 | | mikealando: Ouch! Tal foresaw the impending royal fork and opted to forego the continuation. Tal out-tal'd indeed - a rather frightening thing state of affairs. |
