Mikhail Tal's Greatest Queen Sacrifice! Best Chess Games | Moves, Strategy, Tricks & Ideas to Win

Here's an absolutely incredible game of chess played by Mikhail Tal (the Magician from Riga). Mikhail Tal played one of his greatest queen sacrifices on move 13 of the game. This game was played between Mikhail Tal & Alexander Koblents in 1961 in Riga. Alexander Koblenz (who used to be Tal's trainer) is playing with the black pieces & Mikhail Tal (the Eighth World Chess Champion) is playing with the white pieces. From this mindblowing game, you can learn some amazing chess tactics, strategies, tricks, traps, moves & ideas, that you can use to win more games against your friends & other players online. This is a typical Tal game & one of the best chess games, which every Sicilian Najdorf player should see! Mikhail Tal was famous for his attacking style of play & he used to create absolute magic on the chess board with his chess pieces. I also have an interesting Chess Puzzle inspired by Mikhail Tal's games. Let's see if you can solve that.

[@Sudhanshu9796]

For white to win in every move white plays it should give black king a check or checkmate. Because If not blacks rook to A1 is checkmate. Now winning moves is 1) sacrifice white Queen by moving to g4 only option is to capture by bishop. 2) sacrifice rook by capturing h6 pawn g7 pawn will recapture it. 3) move your white squared bishop to f7 and it's a sweet checkmate.

[@kalyanlahiri7478]

White plays c3. Blocks the mate threat and the bishop cannot capture the bishop because Q g4 is mate

[@kalyanlahiri7478]

Now white is threatening to capture the white square bishop, so this bishop has to move out of the a2-g8 diagonal. Say the black bishop moves to d7. then Bf7 and White's attack is huge

Aman Goel it’s not smothered checkmate, smothered checkmate is a checkmate deliver only by knight, not other pieces, also smothered checkmate is when the king surrounded only by his own pieces that prevent him to run away, while in this case bishop on d2 prevent the king from going to g5 (the king can’t move to g5 because the enemy pieces is cutting of the way, not because his own pieces is there) so no, it’s not smothered checkmate, you can even search on google what smothered checkmate is if you still think it’s smothered checkmate

[@toddtrimble2555]

Just saw this video. Interesting problem at the end (Find the Best Move). The quiet move 1. c3, removing Black's mate threats and also threatening Bd1+, looks hard to answer. If 1... Bxb3, then 2. Qg4 mate. There doesn't seem to be a good way for Black to defend the g4 square.

[@italixgaming915]

I came to the same conclusion. We can also see that Ra1+ doesn't work because of Kb2 (and no more "not silly" checks). Qf5 runs into Rxe6 and a forced mate. And if Qg3 we have Bd1+ Qg4 Rxg4 (not Bxg4+ because of Kxg6 and Black can't take back with the bishop because of Qxg4#) with the threat of Rxg7# and no defence works, they all lead to other forced mates. See my comment for more details.

Queen takes rook as:- •Avoids check mate as ⚫queen to a1 and also protect the A1 square as queen can't infiltrated. •If Queen Infiltrate at E1 as king can escape from B2.

[@flspeedy8409]

You would play rook take h6 first because either way it's a rook trade but by taking this pawn you are also winning material

Mikhal Tal is a real magician of chess game

[@nightking7621]

I am Aayush Adhikari from Nepal. Answer for puzzle: White should push his pawn on C 2 to C3 ( Reason = Stopping the checkmate threat by black if he moves his rook on A 8 to A 1) This move also opens the diagonal for white bishop to place it on D 1 and give checkmate in next few moves i.e, white bishop to D 1 check Black blocks with bishop on E 6 to G 4 that is the only move possible .Now the white queen on G 2 captures the black bishop on G 4 . That would be a beautiful checkmate. After we move our pawn to C 3 , giving a check by black's rook on A 8 by bringing on A 1 isnt a good idea because after white king moves to B 2 , we are threatning to capture the rook and also threatning checkmate in same sequence discussed earlier after the rook moves. Getting back , after we move our pawn to C 3 , black bishop on E6 cant take the hanging white bishop on B3 because white queen to G 4 is a checkmate. White rook or queen also cant threaten to capture the hanging white bishop due to the checkmate threat discussed earlier i.e, bishop to D 1 and so on. Even if black moves his dark squared bishop somewhere to free up square , there will be a mate in next few moves i.e, white squared bishop to D 1 .Thats check. If black bishop blocks , white queen to G 4 is a mate. If ,Black king moves to H 4, white queen to H 1 is a checkmate. Getting back , the best move continuation for black is to move his queen to F 5 trying to cover the G 4 square by 2 pisces . After it moves, now white can give a check by placing light squared bishop to D 1 . Now black blocks with its queen by placing it on G 4 that is the only possible move.Now white can take the black queen by its bishop on D 1 by placing it on G 4. If black bishop on E 6 takes our bishop on G4 then white queen to G 4 is a checkmate. If black king takes our rook on G 6 , we can take his bishop on E 6 by white bishop on G 4 and give a discovered check by the queen on G 2. After the king moves on F 6 threatning to capture our bishop , we can capture his hanging rook on A 8 by our queen on G 2. Although white is down by a pawn, it is up by a queen. White can win this game easily from here . Hence , moving the pawn from C 2 to C 3 is the best move continuation for white as it prevents the checkmate by black and threatens to checkmate at the same time by the same sequence discussed earlier. You are free to post your doubts here , I will be glad to clear your doubts 😁 Lots of love to Chess Talk and its viewers from Nepal❤

[@amaandhanerawala7039]

Why can't we take rook by queen

[@nightking7621]

If you take black's rook by your queen then the black king can capture your hanging rook on G 6. Black will be up by a pawn Here , you are in such a stronger position threatning checkmate in next few moves so , exchanging rook is not a good idea .

[@bloodqueenalice]

nope, c3 is too complex. why go for complex when an easy forcing line already guarantees a win? ie. Qg4

My answer to the puzzle: White Rook to h6 taking the pawn, then black's only move would be to capture the rook at h6 by pawn from g7 to h6. White Queen takes the Rook at a8, hereby protecting the mate at a1 from the black queen.

[@Adventurer-te8fl]

Ur actually super close. Start by sacrificing queen on g4, black must take with bishop. Sacrifice rook on h6, black must take with pawn. Then bishop to f7 is checkmate

Makl Tal, excellent chess master. The sample you left behind: rook x pawn (above king) pawn x rook..queen to bishop 3, check-black bishop blocks queen..white bishop to white kings 7 checkmate

[@johnshaw6702]

That was my first thought too, but it won't work. The King will move to g6 instead of Bishop to g4 and you end up running around the board. By moving the Queen to g4 first the Bishop is forced to take it. Then taking h6 will work.

[@bitboy101]

Black queen to a1 is checkmate
