C5 is mistake 😂 and admitted to

[@jaypeejunelaurente833]

Cheaper please. I cant afford $97 usd. 😔

[@alharrison1038]

@GMIgorSmirnov Where did you get these rules from? Were they in a book? In interviews?

[@vaishnavitotkar2927]

It is unbelievable that we get masterclasses like this for free.

[@ShamoelAhmad]

Happens only with the add model

[@HoSza1]

Igor probably doesn't really care much about the YT monetization, but constantly promoting his own masterclass products which are not free but tries to convince you to buy those by giving these free samples.

[@JohnnyEff-e7d]

The story behind the game, basicailly arranging to start playing from that sacrifice is so good! Another great video.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

I thought the story behind the game was interesting, just had to share.

[@bjaurelio]

Ra1, not even bothering to promote the pawn is the most brutal checkmate.

[@tyronebennett5223]

This is the way. Proving that the queen sack was in fact justified and no additional pieces were needed for mate.

[@dareksosnowski8068]

promoting to a bishop is better

[@CarlosR.21]

@@dareksosnowski8068 Agree

[@AlpControl]

Pomoting a new queen is the brute force method, under-promoting a new bishop is nicer, but Ra1 is even more economical in material, I prefer Ra1.

[@51monw]

Promoting to Queen or Bishop mates, promoting to Knight loses, so promote to a rook and play more chess, and black wins by mopping up the King side pawns with the rooks and white has no counterplay at all. Stockfish gradually increases its evaluation of black's position, as it got 30odd ply deep in the tree it has seen all the king side pawns falling but there probably isn't anything better than Qa8+ Bf8 Qe8 where at least the queen ties up the King and Bishop.

[@fraser2636]

@@51monw what on earth are you talking about

[@divyanshgarg812]

Bro still cares about material when checkmating 😂

[@ulrikof.2486]

I'd also go with Ra1 as the more "economic" move as compared to queenpromotion, but I find the bishoppromotion more elegant. It's just that didn't see this move.

[@loulasher]

I'm also on team promote to bishop. It looks like the consensus.

B1=B# Definitely GM Igor!

[@ivanf.7867]

R A1, no need to promote pawn

[@diogenes2550]

@ivanf.7867 That’s the one, Ra1.

[@realsamuel2377]

Promoting to a Queen and SAME time doing check mate is nicer!

[@chrisworldglobalnetwork9047]

You have the best Chess instruction videos on KZbin, period.

[@teambellavsteamalice]

B1 underpromoting to a bishop seems nicest to me. A queen and RA1# are more obvious checkmates.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

""I like to grab the initiative and not give my opponent peace of mind", He was like modern day news" LOL

[@yodakazam]

Igor I love your channel so much, I don't subscribe to channels but I've watched most of your videos and I swear it's helped me climb from 1600 to 1900 FIDE. The dream is to get a title

[@juancarlosdavila6591]

Thank you for your instructive videos. You're a very good teacher. 👍

[@ChessRashu]

Thank you so much more the knowledge content on chess it is helping me to become a better chess player :)

[@Ebobster]

Excellent video explaining a wonderful Queen sac game by Tal.

[@artandgaming6728]

Absolutely best explanation

[@Russ-Sandiford]

Marvelous rules to play by for the initiative! Thanks

[@StephenWhite55]

I have to agree; Ra1# is the most pleasing option, because it demonstrates that no extra material is necessary, to deliver the final ‘kiss of death’.

[@hazelqawamid]

Thank you for your efforts GM Igor !

[@ethan_anthem]

Thanks for this video, Igor!

[@MindsetByDave]

I’d find promoting to the bishop to be most satisfying

[@benjamingrunbaum3601]

Ra1# most satisfying to win without promoting

[@SparshaGraphics]

Igor , I want you to continue this topic on your channel...Please 🙏

[@sashabedi418]

Thank you very much sir for your knowledgeable videos, courses. You are the best coach

[@ThexAlmighty]

0:06 Thankyou so much sir because of your guidance and teaching i reached 1400 in rapid today, within 1 month i earned 300 elo points, previously a year ago when i was 800 i got to 1100 because of you but then i stopped playing chess but after the WCC i started again, thankyou so much for your help

[@x3r0prime45]

under promote to the bishop is the most satisfying, though sliding the rook over or promoting to a queen both work fine.

[@jzzquant]

winning the queen back on the final move of the game, what a poetic sacrifice. Tal is a poet he is not a chess player.

[@andrewcrane5105]

This opened my mind

[@JeffreyDMathias]

Pawn promoted to Bishop. After all, he wanted to get rid of his Queen.

[@Spino-gs9kp]

Underpromoting to a bishop with the b pawn sounds like the most satisfying way

[@lopamudramishra5829]

b1 underpromoting to a bishop seems nicest to me.Ra1 is even more economical in material.

[@John-g6x1h]

Just amazing.

[@Aezakmi-iu7wk]

I would underpromote to bishop The most satisfying one

Thank you! Cheers!

[@loicgrange9238]

Good afternoon. Like some other comments, I would agree to promote the pawn to a Bishop.

[@alexs1621]

Hi Igor. If to take is a mistake, when is it ok to take? As, you have to take at some point right?

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

If it improves your position and winning chances.

[@MitsakezCODM]

when it specifically benefits you

[@HarshitTiwari-d2q]

B1=B# is the msot satisfying move i guess 😊 by your smile

[@RvChessOfficial]

I would promote this pawn to bishop, because its rare checkmate type

[@kssiva7458]

b1=B+# is the most brutal mate

[@GGMobile20]

Promote to bishop checkmate

[@poonamkandale9953]

sir making a bishop and checkmate with style 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@naminiroofarahani7886]

The most pleasant way I think is b1=B#

[@Medwinmanu-bf8eo]

b8=bishop#.. BRILLLIIIIIIIIANT !!!!!!!

[@dr.floridamanphd]

b1. b8 is black’s back rank.

[@yourfriend5144]

He promote to a Bishop? That is funnier than Ra1#

[@DarrenYoungs]

i would underpromote to a bishop

[@NJDJ1986]

@5:23 see, even Tal did a Botez gambit before the Botez sisters invented Botez gambit! ‼️‼️

[@mschoenen]

The quick and subtle shade of "...like modern day news". Love it, Igor! Also "you might have heard that here before" - any of your followers who do not repeat To Take is a Mistake when playing should be removed as subscribers

R a-8….just elegant!

[@andrewonce6772]

That's the most untouchable pawn

probably promotion to a bishop

[@TheGrislyBear]

Promote the pawn to a bishop

[@DerellSanders]

Ra1 is simplistic and efficient

[@wanzhelsing]

Tal always think how to sacrifice he queen and win.....what a player

[@hurriyetpek77]

rook a1 would be satisfying

[@middleofnowhereradio]

LOL, amazing... I'm torn, resurrecting your Queen would be epic, but winning with no Pawn promotion would be more satisfying, and properly justify the sacrifice in the first place due to the fact that under his philosophy "It's not about material, but about position." If the myth has some truth, I believe Rook to a1 would be more satisfying to Tal as well, since winning without the need for a Queen would've been correct the night before and the day after.

[@raselju]

I would prefer Ra1#.

[@hoangle-tt5oi]

Whats the brown thing behind you?

[@Five-Star-General]

@remotechessacademy i liked that cool magician transition effect haha

[@NavalSharma-r9z]

[@jaduandjatin643]

But quantity have its own quality

[@slawterbl]

promote to queen to say the queen never left 😂😂

[@PhillipFacemire-o3w]

I’d move the rook to A1.

[@HexxuSz]

rule 1 - you can't (been trying for 20 years)

[@omprakashsen3358]

bishop

[@EneldoSancocho]

"to take is a mistake" is a mistake, an obvious mistake, or at least not very well explained. It's obvious that in some positions taking is the best move, even if you don't win material, you could improve your position. Remember your opponent doesn't play perfectly. Loved the video though 👏

[@pemrograman-cepat3393]

I implement your method, it really boosts my elo. After reaching 1700+, suddenly it becomes harder to win. But after I check the accuracy, the opponent accuracy was 96-99% whereas mine was around 84-92% average. Omg, could it be real or cheating?

[@Itsme-eu7wd]

Did he played any bad move?

[@pemrograman-cepat3393]

@ no it was perfect

[@AkumaDaniel-dz1oe]

Definitely cheating😂

The most satisfying mate is #Ra1.😅 No need to get a new queen

I will finish with Ra1#

rook a1 🤩

[@theonejesusloved7379]

Did tal promote the pawn to a Bishop??

[@benjamingrunbaum3601]

@theonejesusloved7379 the way he was explaining it, it sounded as if the opponent resigned. I could be wrong though. Personally, I think he'd play Ra1 and win without promoting if anything

[@weevil601]

He resigned one move before mate. I have this game in my database. Tal played this guy 4 times with 3 wins and 1 draw.
