Tal vs Botvinnik 1960
Moscow
No sooner did Mikhail Botvinnik regain his title, the chess world became entranced by charismatic young Latvian named Mikhail Tal. Tal won the 1958 interzonal tournament at Portoroz, then helped the Soviet Union to retain the Chess Olympiad; before going on to win the 1959 Candidates Tournament with 20 out of 28 points--a point and a half ahead of second place Paul Keres.
Tal often sacrificed material in search for the initiative in chess. With such intuitive sacrifices, he created vast complications, and many masters found it impossible to solve all the problems he created over the board, though deeper post-game analysis found flaws in some of his conceptions. Although this playing style was scorned by ex-World Champion Vasily Smyslov as nothing more than "tricks", Tal convincingly beat every notable grandmaster with his trademark aggression.

[@MrTVx99]

A real Tal move would be to resign the game when a draw was offered just to play more against Botvinik

[@mohammadaminsarabi6207]

😂😂😂

[@jasper5016]

:D :D They were too tired to play. They cannot think of playing anything.

[@abhinavjain2985]

that is too much sacrifice even for Tal

[@octaviovillarreal4922]

lol

[@stt5v2002]

I put it on a Blu-ray and gave it to my grandpa. He knows nothing about chess, but he is all about the good old days.

[@jasper5016]

hahahaha

[@mikechambers9129]

Antonio, Thanks for your dedication to see a series like this through to completion. It is an enormous undertaking and one that is a real asset to the internet chess community! Bravo!

[@agadmator]

Thank you! It was a pleasure :)

[@simonlepine7765]

My gran’pa said thank you !

[@eIectricaI]

"Noone became world champion by accepting a draw" uhhh

[@abhinavjain2985]

Hahahaha LOLOLOL

[@djordjeantonijevic8858]

Has to be perfect foreshadowing

[@teejay5511]

1:55 (rows) The "damn" delivery was sooooooo on point. Dead-pan level up achieved. So sharp. Well played Agad. Thx for your content. Love it

[@AlanIanke]

Agadmator. I am sure Tal, wherever he may be, is very proud of your work. Congratulations.

[@ommazx]

thanks agadmator for existing.

[@PascalWings]

That is some incrdible dedication shown by Agadmator. Thanks for that

[@FloydMaxwell]

What a great effort to share each of these games between these two great players. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@vishnuvenkatesh7592]

This was a great series!!! Absolutely loved it. Looking forward to more great games.

[@eladz.9267]

Well done and many many thanks for covering this series! Love your channel!

[@paintedeyes9736]

Thanks for a really enjoyable coverage of the 1960 championship match!

[@KaninoWorldIsThis]

This was a beautiful series, thank you!

[@Army1696]

I watched the entire serie, it has been brilliant, thanks for everything agad!!

[@omariqbal7833]

Thank you so much for this amazing series, Agadmator! This was amazing but I think we need Botvinnik's revenge now!

[@9181shreyasbhatt]

This is amazing!!! and its is even more amazing to those who have read "Tal-Botvinnik, 1960 by Mikhail Tal" you do capture the essence.

[@JMS1089]

There were more precise players but I am a fan of Tal because he had so many ideas. Tal and Alekhine are the greatest chess players as far as im concerned.

[@SamuelPearlman]

2:07 "M. BOTBWWWWK" !!

[@myriadshalaks]

Great series. Thank you agadmater!

[@direwolf285]

Thank you so much for your great work. Your channel is a dear part of my life.

[@LavrencicUrban]

THANK YOU SO MUCH; THAT WAS AN AWESOME SERIES! REMATCH WOULD BE AWESOME.

[@TheOneNickel]

Great coverage of a great series Agadmator!. I truly enjoy learning and listening to you analyze Great chess games. Your anecdotes on the players and history of the games is a huge plus aswell.

[@emilbruhn4748]

Thanks for covering this awesome match Agadmator! Excited to see what comes next :)

[@debanhiserna4200]

I enjoyed such a great series, thank you for sharing

[@xaero1958]

#suggestion Botvinnik's rematch with Tal for the title. You could make a series on that too

[@myriadshalaks]

Xaero in those, tal is sick, and he actually does resign several games.

[@TataMataAkrobata]

so what it would still be nice to see.

[@hammondvoodoo9555]

Yeah, I would like to see at least some of those games as well. I think it will be sufficient to cover just a few due to Tal's illness and just comment on the rest if possible.

[@jackcook3471]

This series was greatly assisted due to the book Tal wrote about the match. There isn't such a resource for the next match.

[@TataMataAkrobata]

such resources are scarce in general, whichever series comes next it most probably will not be assisted by a book of that quality. botvinnik and tal only played two matches, so ti seems like a case of following up A with saying B, it's not like suggesting a full series on every karpov kasparov match.

[@alakamyok1261]

Botnivik was a good sport . Its been an amazing series of games.Thank you Antonio you are best.

[@fred324gigo]

What a nice work! Congratulations and big thank for your work🤗

[@Lewis08]

I played a game of chess against my grandpa a few months ago and I lost. I then found your videos and have watched every single one in the last few months. I recently played him again, and I won! Thank you Antonio:)

[@bonerici]

Wonderful match coverage. Thank you Agamator!

[@stefanversac5539]

Very fascinating series, between two masters. You have a very good tone and presentation, not diminishing the opponent of the favorite... Please continue... at least the rematch!

[@adnan4688]

Ovo sto ti radis je zlata vrjedno.Kad novi klinci dodju na ovaj nivo,da analiziraju ovakve partije,na tvoj kanal ih upucujem. ;)

[@Richard-sp3ul]

Loved this series. Apprecaited it so much more the second time. Hats off to Agadmator. 👏👏👏

[@darklingeraeld-ridge7946]

Excellent. Really well covered, and the whole series very enjoyable. Thanks for your insights and care.

[@MrSupernova111]

That was very cordial of Tal to take it easy on Botvinnik and accept the early draws in the final games after he knew he had won the match.

[@thaddtermeer6688]

Thank you for this series

[@SureshBabu709]

Wow Watched all the 21 games! Really impressive !

[@gillrowley7264]

Great series Antonio. Thanks.

[@RasmusLian]

[@virioguidostipa5681]

[@MrDesperadus]

[@TataMataAkrobata]

[@madhav_coc]

[@kurtsulzbacher2383]

[@seethegalaxy]

Great match. Thanks for doing this.

[@shivakumarsola7655]

Watching this series i became a fan of ur channel... thank you

[@pmonkeygeezer6212]

Raised seating or gallery/circle seating for upstairs. Excellent coverage. The best on You Tube now. Kingscrusher has been crushed!

[@dgregory79]

I can't believe you only have 140k subscribers. The channel is amazing, keep up the good work. I've learned so much from you. Thank you. :-)

[@chitramaridi]

Now he has 426K

[@krzysztofq7420]

It is the best Tal vs Botvinnik series on YT

[@Lazy.y]

great series Thanq Antonio ~

[@marcorc5167]

Very nice series, I enjoyed all the videos, especially the longest ones close to 20min.

[@brandonhunter2504]

Binged watched this awesome series. New to the channel, love the content.

[@user-fn5ip6tt9f]

Finally over ... but unfortunately with a kind of dissapointing ending

[@santiagopruno6215]

great work ,thank you so much

[@RolfyOlbap]

#agadmator when you reached the 1K subs, you showed us a game of Tal. For a while now, you have shown us all the way he did, through the Candidates Tournament of 1959 to become World Champion vs Botvinnik in 1969. Well, you are in more than 140K subs, a year and a half later. Sir, I must say, congratulations. Excellent work, enormous effort. Thank you, beautiful journey through the history of chess.

[@peterrabbit2965]

Knight to D8, draw. Feels perfect. This whole series of games was perfect. A spiritual journey.

[@humbertojesusguillenymoral6550]

After this game Tal said:"my head is full of sun". ¡You gotta love this guy!

[@ghfgrhtfdhhj3864]

#suggestion Capablanca - Alekhine World Championship Match (1927)

[@williamblake7386]

25 draws man

[@TrumanBurbonk]

@@williamblake7386 He can skip some games that are not interesting.

[@strat0caster124]

Watched the whole series in a week after discovering it... it's kinda anticlimax to see that this was the way this great series ended, but I believe Botvinnik had his own mindset and Tal definitely deserved it and earned much respect. I always imagined Tal as a naughty boy that enjoys adventurous tricks, but he was actually courageous as much as he was talented. It has been an amazing series to watch, thank you so much agad!

[@michaelsorochev1357]

I agree with some other people who have commented - I would love to see a rematch! Would love to have a series where Botvinnik gets his revenge

[@kilimanjarno]

thank you Antonio. It's been a pleasure.

[@richardfeynman5560]

Thank you very much, Agadmator, for showing us all the games from the 1960 world championship match and for your very instructive analysis of every single game! As for me the question arises now, if you will also show at least some games from the 1961 rematch? I think this would be also very interesting!

[@AlastairJohnRoss]

Hey Agadmator, appreciate the great content as ever (really enjoyed the Tal vs Botvinnik series) - just a note: you have the move notation from game 20 in the description below the video rather than game 21.

[@docfrayon]

I miss this series already :)

[@mrfecal]

From Tal`s "Magia en el tablero (Vol. 1)": ... from the sporting point of view the result that i got was overwhelming, but it did not reflect the real relationship of each players strenght. In such a tense encounter i was able to directly verify the Botvinnik`s extraordinary erudition in the openings (game 8, 17 and 20), how deep his strategic ideas was (games 5, 10, 12), his exelence in finals (game 9). The truth is that game 9 is undoubtedly one of the most interesting of the match, and it was impeccably played by M. Botvinnik." Keep up the good work! Regards, A.

[@eshneto]

After watching this series, the result is that I am a Botvinnik fan.

[@zray2937]

Now we only have to wait for agadmator's coverage of all world championship matches in history.

[@shoaibaalam8978]

loudest "hello everyone".

[@miladrakhsha7026]

I wish you had continued this serie, it was one of those series that you'd curse the creators for not finishing the story till the end, but thank you!

[@TheOnlyThrasher]

You probably won't see this but my favorite part of your videos is when you go "here it comes.. g5" or whatever move. It always really hypes up this situation so it would be cool if you say that more if a good situation arises ^^

[@nordlead2302]

Super Video..Best Chess Channel on KZbin..many greetings from Germany..

[@russelllomando8460]

Great job, thanks.

[@goutamyadav9159]

awesome series and you are also awesome the way you explain and analys over the chess board is incredible ....☺☺☺

[@keithcharland5170]

Stoked for this game

[@transistor152]

I played chess like 5 times in my life but i seriously got into it because of your content.

[@abhinavjain2985]

"Tal knew he had to play a nice game" Well this guy was WC for 1 year but in the hearts of more people than any other player. The most enthusiastic fighter in chess. Love you Tal, i have a feeling u r reading my comment from above.

[@obadaalia746]

Firssssssssst again, tbh it has been one of the best series I have watched in this channel. Thanks Mr. agadmator

[@immanuellasker4273]

and was on move 17 that Tal asked himself: "mmm, what's the idea here?"

[@pratushbose1469]

Hi agadmator, this was a really wonderful series which you created with your vast knowledge :p. I hope you cover the 1961 series as well. Cheers!!

[@ManishGupta-ce8nt]

Agad I like your explanations. They are very accurate.

[@sujaykherdekar7541]

Thanks Antonio for the wonderful series of 1960 WC.You really deserve to be the best chess channel on KZbin. #suggestion now that you are ready to take suggestions,I would once again like to suggest you to make a similar series of the AVRO TOURNAMENT 1938

[@bonerici]

That was such a fantastic tournment and so many great chess books came out of it. I think my favorite book of all time is Euve's book "Meet the Masters" which he wrote just before the AVRO tournament. Then there are lots of books on the tournament itself both modern books and contemporary.

[@sujaykherdekar7541]

Eric Taylor Yes! And it is still considered to be one of the strongest tournament ever.You had the likes of Botvinnik,Euwe,Alekhine,Capablanca, Reuben Fine & Paul Keres.It really would be a enjoyable series if he chooses to do it.

[@javiergilvidal1558]

Gotta love the little noises of your dog´s paws against the floor!

[@PepsiGods]

This Channel is magic

[@amoralkidd5690]

I enjoyed this series, you make premium chess content. You should do more. Keep it up!

[@TheDoxxistor]

Awesome series! I´m new to chess so I´m obviously wishing for more series like this, since I do not know the outcome of any old championships. Pretty sure I´m not alone with my thoughts :)

[@BlaBla-pf8mf]

Great series.

[@Krmpfpks]

thank you!

[@thedoctor3151]

My life is so empty after this series finished :/ Can't wait for some new videos! Maybe something from the sorcery series?

[@fabian13333]

Thank you

[@purplelover376]

I really thank you for your contribution to the world of chess and more importantly helping us realize more about it. I would love to make a #suggestion and that is covering the encounter of Capa and Alekhine

[@zennoqelly8469]

Thanks agadmator for covered Tal vs Botvinik world chess championship 1960..maybe spassky vs fisher world championship after this..whos know..😃

[@ericsbuds]

those photographs are really cool.
