Thank you Sam, obviously you couldn’t control yourself, “boom” is back! I am so glad :-)

[@TymexComputing]

Beautiful game, thank you Sam "Boom" Copeland - the Best of Chess Channel :) i have seen the knight sacrifice but missed the rook c5 sacrifice - a true mastery requires precautions

[@rogerfedererc5315]

Such crystal clear explanation. Your games always improve my mood. Great stuff. I recently discovered your channel and am binge watching them. Thank you and hope you have a wonderful day.

I think this game is my favourite game ever. Some games are tactics start to finish, some are positional masterpieces, but this game is a perfect positional battle followed by one of the most aesthetic sacrifices I've ever seen. I can't imagine a sacrifice that looks nicer.

Fantastic analysis, one of the best youtube channels!

Beautiful game. I don't think there is 1 game by the great Tal that doesn't make me wish that I could have watched him in person.

[@seasideman]

Amazing game, thanks Sam. I can't wait to see what the top few games are!

[@kartikbohra783]

My favourite Tal game!!!!!!!!!! Qb2 is a lovely move followed by Rc5. A candidate for knights on the edge immortal may be Tal-Botvinnik game 7.

This game it's just beautiful. Absolute madness over the board.

[@joeb4142]

Wow this one was difficult for me to predict the moves but great game and commentary.

[@manmoth_1990]

It's magic how Tal's pieces just flow to life after Rc5.

[@cloudforest4087]

The way the pieces are at checkmate is unreal.

[@yf3256]

Good job

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

fantastic game

[@テイラーサム]

Ah yes, resign 1 move before checkmate. You know, I think chess would really improve as a game if players allowed imminent mates to appear on the board. I understand not wanting to play out a lost position for 15 moves, but if it’s M2 or M3 let a cool mate enter the records of chess lore. newer players might want to see the mate actually happen to increase their understanding of the game

Tal is a magician
