Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-18-05  Whitehat1963: Tal wins easily in a game that features the opening of the day.
Feb-22-07  thegoodanarchist: Pribyl tries to "Out-Tal" Tal and gets smacked down.
Feb-22-07  TrueFiendish: If "out-Talling" Tal means stealing some pawns, quite so.
Jul-19-09  totololo: I am surprised that nobody commented on this short masterpiece or the art of the counterattack... I think that this should be a game of the day...!
Apr-21-12  screwdriver: This is Tal! No way is some offbeat closed line in the Sicilian going to offer any resistence.
Jun-22-12  Mudphudder: Tal has certainly demonstrated the art of counterplay in this game.
Jun-22-12  King Death: It's strange to see Tal play against the isolated queen pawn, he always liked the play that came with having the center outpost. After a couple of what Kotov called "creeping moves", White finds out that he isn't the one attacking anymore.
