| May-01-16 | | john barleycorn: <Johnnysaysthankyou: The ending is a far better try but is it sufficient even to draw, much less win? 38...Rxb8! deserves at least one exclam for imagination. 39. Bxh6 Nxh6 and where do we stand?...> Do you mean 38...Rxb8 39.Bxa6 Nxa6 ?
then 40.Nxb8 is most satisfying, isn't it? |
|
| May-02-16 | | Johnnysaysthankyou: Yep, I botched typing up my analysis and didn't realize till you pointed it out. Bxa6 Bxc6 Nxh6 b5 and I think white is probably winning. Probably. |
|
| May-02-16 | | Johnnysaysthankyou: Hell, Bxc6 Nxc7 is even better. This is over. |
|
| May-02-16 | | Johnnysaysthankyou: I'm hallucinating sorry. |

| Jun-28-16 | | clement41: Rc5!! monster move in a seemingly positional ruy lopez |
|
| Mar-02-17 | | ProLogik: Hjartson didn't anticipate 36. ♖c5, which can be excusable when the game was positional up until that point and there may have been time pressure. But he should have seen that white's queen, knight, and rook established a mating net around black's king. Based on the circumstances, 40. ... ♖a1 was a blunder. |
|
| May-20-17 | | Eduardo Bermudez: How wonderful was the white knight that went from b1 to g8 in twelve harmonic and very effective moves !! |

 | | Clement Fraud: <Eduardo Bermundez> Yes indeed... the white queen's knight finishing up on black's KN1 square; and in the final position, every single one of white's pieces is taking part in the mating attack! In this game, Tal really lives up to Bronstein's view of chess as "part science" and "part art". I've a feeling that black's difficulties began when he overlooked that white could play 19.b4, thus preventing black from placing his knight on the intended c5 square (and the resulting queenside piece regroupment cost black too many tempi). A masterpiece from Mikhail Tal! |

| Apr-05-18 | | dhotts: Amazing game, first time I have seen it...No doubt that 36.Rc5 is the killer move, even stockfish did not understand how good that move was at first, as it rated 36.Nfxe5 as slightly better at +0.6 vs Rc5 at 0.45. |
|
| Apr-05-18 | | goodevans: Stockfish sometimes leaves me completely baffled. It gives <37...Bxc6 38.dxc6 Qxc6 39.Ra5 Rc8 40.Ng5 Kh6 41.Nf7+ Kg7 ⩲ +1.19 (35 ply)> but at the end of that sequence there doesn't appear to be anything better than to repeat the position with <42.Ng5>. Surely that can't be right? |
|
| Apr-05-18 | | Ironmanth: Amazing; like some others, my first view of this game. Amazing little "nibbling" improvements and piece-dancing made by Mischa, then 36.Rc5!! blew me away; had to check to make sure it was not an error. Surgical and lethal thing of beauty, this attack! |
|
| Apr-05-18 | | The Kings Domain: Nice to see this classic featured once again. The move 36) Rc5! is a bolt out of the blue and one of the great moves of the game. It's no surprise Tal was in the Top 10 that late into his career. Good pun too. :-) |
|
| Apr-05-18 | | morfishine: <Ironmanth> You broke rule 27.1568-D, which states "No post will include the over-used and worn-out adjective 'amazing' more than once" (preferably none). Violators will be banned from posting at <CG> for a period of time not less than 24 hours & not more than 72 hours. ***** |

|
| Apr-05-18 | | morfishine: <mornonvich> Please have your shower turned on full blast to drown out any residual off-key notes attempting to escape |
|
| Apr-06-18 | | Toribio3: Two killer knights are vintage calculations of Tal. During those days, they did not have any computer software that deals with this kind tactical combinations. |
|
| Apr-30-18 | | Justin796: What a beast lol... |

 | | Fusilli: Amazing Tal, showing off superior strategic conception and usual calculating prowess. Nigel Short has a video on chess.com analyzing this game. (Under the "I witness" series.) Highly recommendable. Personal side note: Black's troubles with the queen's knight in the Chigorin is why I strongly prefer the Breyer (9...Nb8, redeploying to d7). Maybe the reason why the Chigorin fell out of favor in the late twentieth century. |

| Jun-12-22 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: I haven't so far seen any analysis of 36... Bxc6 Here are a couple of variations:
36...Bxc6 37. Rxc6 Qb7 38. Rxd6 Nxd6 39. Qxe5+ Kg8 40. Qxd6 Rc8 41. Nd4 36...Bxc6 37. Rxc6 Qb8 38. Qe2 Ra7 39. Bxb5 Rb7 40. Ba6 Ra7 41. Rc8 Qb6 42. Qb5 Qxa6 43. Qxe8 Rf7 44. Ng5 Rf6 45. Nxh7 Rf7 46. Qh8+ Kh6 47. Nf6+ Kg5 48. Nxh5 gxh5 49. Rg8+ Kh4 50. Rg4# |
