that Tal sequence is the filthiest, most beautiful combination I've seen; wish more people would teach this alongside or instead of the Opera game

Beautiful variations at the end of the game. Also love how excited Danya can still get about chess despite playing it his whole life. It truly is a passion, isn't it?

Not despite he is playing his whole life, but because. If you have literally seen everything and suddenly something completely new and phantastic is on the board how can you not be exited?

That combination at the end to force mate was so incredible, and to have a Tal game lead right into the exact idea was just the icing on the already most delicious cake.

That was some amazing stuff there in that Tal game. It is always wonderful to watch a master artist at his craft. And that mating sequence from the end of your game... beautiful. (Oh, and of course we got the Ferris Bueller reference!)

Play by Tal always inspires. Truly that which showcases beauty of the game. Makes you wonder what he would have brought to the game in this era.

[@alexwiththeglasses]

The endings🤯 Beginner me is still surprised at an ongoing theme… how common sketchy stuff seems to happen in the first 5 moves up through around 2000 online, and I’m only talking about when these players (that have worked hard enough to earn their rating) actually choose their opening in common situations, like here. Another excellent teaching session from GM Danya!🙏

No, Danya shouldn't become one of those people that spams a video a day with no consideration for its quality. You have Gotham for that bullshit.

[@taylorpace5222]

As an 1100, it always blows me away how easy he makes it look utterly destroying a 1700. It looks so easy like I could do that, then I go play a 1200 and its a different story 😂

[@yedfa8202]

Jesus, this is the best move I ever saw ! Tal is a genius

[@Leoescalaa]

i learn a lot with your videos, thanks daniel

[@hotpie7158]

13:35 Bc1 is not the only winning move. Bxe7 also works because after Rxe7 Qf7 Kd7, white can trade into a winning endgame (because white is up two pawns). Obviously I didn't see this, I put the position in the engine. Bc1 was an exquisite move though. Love your videos.

[@coffecuber1092]

[@joshuahunter2825]

These are great. Tal is my favorite player of all time

[@AdrianoSnorts]

This man is absolutely speedrunning scores and ladders, winning without the tiniest sweat against elos bigger than him, can bring and breakdown moves as QUOTES from other matches like it's just common knowledge and I can't help but explode laughing at that one guy in the comments back when he was around 1300 elo calling him a scam saying that he's asking his watchers for the next move. And I love remembering this more now because this is exactly what that guy and more were talking about "oh he's gonna eat shit at 1700-1800" Some people sound like they just spawned out of nowhere with the ability to speak I swear

[@UNKNOWN5427]

So proud of myself for finding bc1. Although it did take me like 10 mins

[@IdoF47]

As a 1700 that often play passive, the appeal is that the opponent often can't leverage his advantage accurately, over extends and then you have the better position. Plus I don't remember many openings so it just what happens when i try to not play the italian or the london

[@paulgoogol2652]

I had a similar idea retreating the bishop but to c4 building a battery against f7 and if black takes on d5 Bb5+ is back in business. Bc1 in Tals game I didn't see though. Fantastic.

[@impishlyit9780]

I was looking at Rhe1 when you mentioned a quiet move that won, and didn't see anything there. Interesting that you didn't consider it as a follow-up after h5, just looks like a thematic move to my eyes. The brain can be a wondrous place though, and I never would have seen Be2! Only a master like this could see that move and know it's winning without seeing how. Good game.

[@jackson32]

The basic rules of positional play are being ignored by black who keeps on exchanging instead of keeping the tension and at the same time allowing white to develop. I see this premature exchanging all the time in my philidor games with white, and it is very subtle, but black is worse with a passive position to boot. I almost always just follow chess principles, always looking for tactics, and black eventually cracks as psychologically constantly defending is ego crushing, and most players have oversized egos.

I think too many people would claim he's cheating. You can always analyze with an engine yourself after the game and see how his ideas differ from the computer

[@Jj82op]

It would also be complicated to set up. He needs to set up the overlay in OBS, use another account to spectate the game and probably other small details.

[@kbk239]

Imagine playing the philidor at 1700 elo... When Mamedyarov plays it, it's because he is prepared and wants to go out of the opening with fighting positions, when you guys play it, you just playing passive positions lmao

Where would Tal be regarded among today’s geniuses? He’s obviously a super GM world champ, but in terms of genius, is he greater than all but Magnus?

[@12jswilson]

He's probably the most gifted attacking player of all time. Either him or Garry. The difference is Garry calculated everything to the end whereas Tal often sacrificed almost entirely intuitively, so Tal's sacrifices weren't airways sound but it was very difficult to find the refutations over the board with the clock ticking
