I am from Riga and very pleased in your interest of Mikhail Tal. Tal is a national hero in Latvia and we even had an opera about him: "Mikhail and Mikhail are playing chess". This is an ultra-modern opera based on Tal-Botvinnik fight where a young student from Riga beat Soviet chess machine. Story of the opera is based on the famous sixth game. The game is demonstrated on the chessboard, every move is supported with some musical motive and also commentary. There are two orchestras on the stage - white and black and with every piece leaving the board, one musician is leaving the stage as well. The opera made a very strong impression on me. #tal

[@GuzmanMPetit]

Hello friend! Is there any way I could get acces to that opera? Is there footage or something? Sounds like something worth seeing. In my country, Uruguay, there is a composition in his honor, called "the Magician of Riga" by musician Juan Ibarra. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmWWlIatnr12oKs I hope you enjoy it.

Antonio, I really enjoy your videos and as you are from Croatia, I would like to write something about Tal, which happened to him when the USSR team came to Yugoslavia.

Tal is amazing. He's my 6 year old daughter's favorite player. Of course she only plays her particular version of chess, you know, with teleporting Rooks, casteling Queens, and SUPER KNIGHTS (and all the pieces end up as friends at the end...). But still... the child clearly has class...

[@feminist098]

Does she know about power pawns ? And flying chess board?

[@woudwilder8324]

Lol, it gets better. My son is 17 now and when I started learning him to play at age 4 was more or less the same...The King needed to protect the queen for example, and their were unloyal knights in love with the queen, you had to watch out for them, especially as he was able to make your knights unloyal but his never were ,lol. Now he is our country u18 champ and he has a +2200 elo and the last time I won a game against him was like 6 years ago. Tal is high up on my list as well. So is Morphy, Fisher, Petrosian, Carlsen , Kasparov, Karpov, Capablanca,...There is a lot to learn from these great masters of the past. Top level chess is all about knowledge and coming up with efficient variations that give you a stronger position and better control over the center than your opponent. You need to limit his possibilities so you can move freely. It sounds easy in theory, but with more possibilities on a board of 64 squares and 32 pieces than there are grains of sands in the world, it's not that easy once you start playing. The best constructed plans can lead to disaster. Marshall theorized for 10 years on how to break down Capablanca's classical Rui Lopez attack when playing with white. Casablanca showed exactly why nobody above a certain level plays the Marshall gambit. 10 years of thinking and Capablanca broke it down with ease. These days Grand Masters have teams and supercomputers to help them making analyses and make up plans to counter your opponents most used strategies. That sounds easy? Try putting all these different lines for different variations for all the possible openings your opponent could play, into your head.The greater amount of lines that one can come up with using these aids in the modern era makes the game even more difficult at GM level.

@@woudwilder8324 there are more chess games possible then there are particles in our universe. Grains of sand is a very small number.

Mikhail Tal was so intimidating in those years that he made seasoned Grandmaster opponents shudder with fear. A case in point is a game played between GM Tal (as Black) and Hungarian GM Pal Benko (as White) at the Interzonal Tournament in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 1959. This was the third cycle (the first two were played in Bled and Zagreb, respectively), and Benko was starting to think that Tal had been hypnotizing him due to his poor record against him so far. So Benko took with him sunglasses and wore them while at the chessboard. But Tal, who had heard of Benko's plan to wear sunglasses before the game started, borrowed enormous dark glasses from GM Petrosian. When Tal put on these ridiculously enormous glasses, not only did the spectators laugh, but other participants in the tournament did, as did the tournament controllers, and finally even Benko himself laughed. But unlike Tal, Benko did not remove his glasses until the 20th move when his position was hopeless. #Tal

I am very uncreative so here is what wiki says about him: Mikhail Tal (Latvian: Mihails Tāls; Russian: Михаил Нехемьевич Таль, Mikhail Nekhem'evich Tal, pronounced [mʲɪxɐˈil nʲɪˈxʲemʲɪvʲɪtɕ ˈtal]; sometimes transliterated Mihails Tals or Mihail Tal; 9 November 1936 - 28 June 1992)[1] was a Soviet Latvian chess Grandmaster and the eighth World Chess Champion (from 1960 to 1961). Widely regarded as a creative genius and the best attacking player of all time, Tal played in a daring, combinatorial style.[2][3] His play was known above all for improvisation and unpredictability. Every game, he once said, was as inimitable and invaluable as a poem.[4] He was often called "Misha", a diminutive for Mikhail, and "The magician from Riga". Both The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games[5] and Modern Chess Brilliancies[6] include more games by Tal than any other player. In addition, Tal was a highly regarded chess writer. He also holds the records for both the first and second longest unbeaten streaks in competitive chess history.[7] The Mikhail Tal Memorial has been held in Moscow annually since 2006 to honour #Tal's memory.

After a match against Mikhail Tal ,Garry kasparov said in a interview that,"Tal just picks up pieces and put on squares and at last he just know how to win the game".... I love the style of tal #tal

He was an artist of the highest caliber 🙏🏻 TAL - take a bow 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@rohanjn4438]

Is it me or is it just that tal brings all his pieces towards the king n just sacs one..... #tal

[@jonathanandrianavalona5384]

I also think Tal was one of the greatest of all time, also it will be intersting to see Tal losing a spectacular game. #tal

[@jaiminpandya9378]

" What you're willing to sacrifice is the measurement of how you love. " This defines the nature of Legend #Tal towards Chess #Tal Sacrificed so much pieces that If we compare Chess with real war then we can say #Tal martyred his life for chess. #Tal

[@droceretik]

"Much" pieces is incorrect. It should be "many" pieces as they can be counted. Much refers to a quantity where individual units cannot easily be counted but are measured.

[@jaiminpandya9378]

Thanks for correcting me :) but for Tal , he had sacrificed beyond our counting capability so in that context much looks more appropriate ;) ;)

Right On agadmator, it's all about the game that was actually played (how the [top] players responded at the time).

I bet being a #Tal guy has its advantages

[@euraiahblair921]

Tal plays offensively very quickly and puts his opponents into a situation they are not comfortable with, but he is very used to. #Tal

[@christophercolumbus5562]

ooops, he did it again, Mikhail #Tal

[@W.G.Sanderse]

I was a visitor on the Malta Chess Olympiad and the round USA-USSR was played. I brougt all my M.Tal books with me and wanted to ask Tal to but this autograph in the books. To my big upset , Tal lost the game to Seirawan. So i thougt that Tal would not be in the mood fors this request. But Tal was ferry friendly and signd al my books. A experience i never forgot. A reel gentleman and of course a ferry actractive Chess player.

#tal doors provide the most enjoyable games, probably followed by Morphy, but enjoy all your videos. Keep it up! Thanks

[@agadmator]

+Johan Waktare Thanks Johan, Will do :)

[@saketk21]

Stockfish will probably find refutations to 90% of the sacs made, but that would take the thrill out of the game. Absolute brilliance by #Tal. Loved it.

-- Mikhail Tal's chess app has no "take-back move" button; Mikhail Tal doesn't make mistakes. -- Mikhail Tal refers to himself in the fourth person. -- Mikhail Tal's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. -- Mikhail Tal will checkmate your king to win the game even after sacrificing all his checker pieces. -- Mikhail Tal doesn't win; he dictates the fundamental rules of logic. -- When Mikhail Tals gives you the finger, he's telling you how many seconds your king has left to live. #Tal

I just love that every single video starts with "Hello, everyone!"
