Tal winning this tournament against those opponents in 1973, almost 10-11 years past his prime, shows how great of a player he was. Truly a magician!!

[@mumu2635]

No, it's still a very strong(young) tal even not in his prime

Tal was not past his prime here. Many argue he was a stronger player in the 70s than 60s

@@andrewptob yup,he hardly lost a game during this period,his record was broken by Magnus.

[@vladavasiljev]

He was world blitz champion i think in 1988, and held the longest winning streak of 94 wins during 1973-4 until his record was broken by Ding Liren few years ago. So, 1973 was Tal's prime.

I totally agree! I wish more people made videos like you’re just having a conversation with someone.

[@ramachandra776]

Perhaps Tal's greatest flex was that he played the Evans gambit only twice in his life . he didn't need the greatest move ever played to bamboozle his opponents . Even a month before his death , he managed to defeat then world champion Kasparov in a blitz game . Kasparov spoke of Tal :- " Tal was absolutely unique. his playing style was of course unrepeatable. I calculated the variants quickly enough, but these Tal insights were unique. he was a man in whose presence others sensed their mediocrity " .

[@raylopez99]

Tal....ha. I could have beat Tal. ... No I couldn't.

Not True! No zero super grand Master tournaments in 1960-1973! Fischer won zero super grand Master tournaments only inter zonals 1962 1970! Fischer was Second in Santa Monica 1966 behind blunder maker Spassky! Fischer did not win Havanna 1965! Fischer beat the weakest chess World champion Boris Spassky only 17 wins 10 losses! Capablanca would beat Spassky easily 8 wins 6 draws zero losses! Carlsen would beat Spassky easily 6 wins 6 draws zero losses! Fischer beat Spassky 10 wins 15 draws 5 losses in 1992 at age 49! Fischer score 58,33%! Spassky was 162nd world ranking and rated 2558 in 1992! So we get Fischer rating 2617,78 in 1992 at age 49! Lasker won the New York tournament in 1924 beating world Best scoring 2875 elo at age 56! Fischer 2617,78 versus Lasker 2875! Karpov has won over 160 super grand Master tournaments! Fischer won zero! Fischer Lost 5 times against awful blunder maker Geller! Carlsen is 100xtimes better than Spassky and Geller! Carlsen would beat Fischer 30 times easily! Stockfish 16 would beat Fischer 999-1 easily!! The highest tournament elo rating score is Fabiano Caruana 8,5/10 StLouis elo 3080! Karpov 11/13 Linares 1994 elo score 3040! Alekhine in San Remo 1930 elo score 3040! Fischer his best tournament score only 2990!!

9:19 "So instead after C captures on D4 Spassky runs for his life..." Chess comedy gold!

[@senanur1983]

And all started because he wanted to keep that extra pawn at the corner of the board. There is some life lesson here 🤔

[@DoctorMachacha]

"I would start the video but i already said lot of important staff" We improvise Agadmator is a legend

[@MeannMugginn]

Tal pretty much ladder mated Spassky while he still had a queen and two rooks on the board... Amazing

[@ChristianHegele]

Tal's 70's era deserves greater attention. Tal's play is rock solid by engine standards, but with no loss of his youthful creativity and activity. In many ways, a pinnacle.

[@Timwadsworth75]

“Queen to g2 checkmate is also playable” 😂😂

Like two heavyweight champions trading blows in the middle of the ring for 12 rounds. Neither had a glass jaw. Tal landed one final blow and Spassky crumpled.

The tal's games are always so enjoyable! Another great player we don't see often is Akiba Rubinstein. Is there any saga in preparation about him ? 😁

[@TheMarksT]

Wow, what absolute surgical precision here, with such complexity too! Amazing play indeed. I can see why you guys call Tal GOAT now! Magnus might in fact need to improve just a little more -- for that, truly. And explains why Garry was also not a unanimous shoe-in for that honor after 30 years as WC and as powerful as he was too, or Fischer even then too. Thanks.

while agadmador was fixing the pictures and kept talking saying shit like "that's the good stuff" and other things made me realize that i rewatch these videos cuz agadmador treates us as family as we can see this is his everyday life and makes us a part of it and how passionate describes games while the best doggo is lying behind doing his own thing making this more wholesome! Also when the Tals game began, it gave the second reason of how good aga describes positions emotions and everything that makes chess my favorite game ever.

I’d give my life savings to see Tal vs Morphy

[@aaronsung6208]

Morphy wouldnt have much chance, newer era player have much more resource to study and have more scientific training, thus objectively better (tal probably know 2000 more opening variation and 300 engame table). But if morphy is given more resource and have longer career, it would be hard to say.

[@lancerlobo1332]

Aaron Sung wtf, if Morphy had resources available of theory, he surely would have studied it, and also in 1858 Morphy is known to play the best moves, even though theory knowledge was not upto par, so you cannot just predict it

[@aaronsung6208]

@@lancerlobo1332 read it again. With tal having theory at tal's era, and morphy had theory at morphy's era (which is close to none), tal would have huge edge in opening and endgame, thus much more likely to win. But if they are given.the same theory to study, it would be hard to say. They are both best player of their era, morphy is much more dominating, but his era is much less competative then tal's: at morphys time, most players are not full time chess players.
