Bobby Fischer and Misha Tal funny anecdote from Bled, 1959

[@fvujacic]

So much joy in the eyes of both players. Tal lived for his audience as well. I was a young chess player in 1974 and he gave me an autograph at the time of the Belgrade-Moscow match played in Belgrade where I grew up. Tal's smile and kindness are unforgettable for me to this day. I stopped playing active chess when I went to university but I never stopped admiring and loving both of these players. But Tal was an exceptional human being, he had so much love for everyone, he could play with amateurs in the parks: videos of him bring tears to my eyes. What a generous and loving genius! The king is dead. Long live the king!

[@TheSeraphim75]

Beautiful tribute. Thanks I love Tals games heaps

[@dhruvdust1812]

Sir, keep that autograph safely, he was a legend, a miracle that would never repeat itself.

[@xabelesor5392]

Indeed. Every player on this planet, no matter how modest, and even if they never manage to win a game, they are the soul of chess. Tal, Morphy, Capablanca, Fisher, and other great champions are the brightest stars in the infinite universe of this beautiful game, which also motivate us.

[@nubianpwr]

I could not have said it better

[@haank5053]

Man the respect they had for each other, it brought tears to my eyes seeing Tal smile while he toys with the charming kid... And Fischer although seems to miss the scene but later recall it with a hint of spice, so clean

[@electronwave4551]

Spassky also enjoyed Fischer's games -- they were challenged by him and his unique persona and approach to play.

Thank you so much for this video. Misha Tal was indeed an extraordinary human being who happened to be one of the greatest chess players ever. Perhaps the best praise to Tal 's fascinating chess style comes from another World Chess Champion (G. Kasparov) who said "He was the only one I knew who didn't calculate the variants, he saw them.."

Before this Game Bobby Fischer was commenting how the soviets were afraid of playing the sicillian versus him and resorted to the caro khan. Hence tal jokingly first pushed his pawn to c6 and then shoved it to c5 as if mocking Fischer for his comments. A true chad.

Fischer obviously learnt from Tal

[@HappyallTT]

I do recognize what Fisher did. but I admire more Tal. Misha Tal another genius who really loved the game, but with balls. If Fisher ( who used to complain about a chair, and lost focus because someone was coughing in the audience ) would have to go through all the physical pain that Tal went through before tournaments and championships and still played and won like he did many times, Fisher would have gave up chess forever, or would have never won a game. To me, Fisher was sort of a prodigy since he was a kid., but also a traumatic drama queen, whose mind remained like a child. Always complaining and later on too paranoid.
