"Mikhail Tal hade white pieces and he started with E4 ,and black resigned"

[@johntothtoth7976]

Ha ha!

[@nagrerelax5602]

haha lmao.

[@myworldorder6753]

E4 is a killa move.

[@loveumitali]

lolzz

[@cukam5206]

What a game...

[@servicemale]

Good to see a Tal game again :) "White played a move and black started crying" :D

[@TheHungdo]

I think that was his best joke to date. It actually made me laugh out loud. I couldn't hold it in

[@markbutler6788]

Lol what is double blind folded? I love the humor of Mato + the brilliance of GM chess! Thanks for the videos and love from Texas!

[@MySquash1]

Tal does only 3 things well. He beats the crap out of opponents in the opening, the middle game and ,if necessary, the end game.

[@AdonMaster]

lolol

[@briankarcher8338]

It's interesting IMO how standard Tal's opening games are. He almost always plays the standard moves in the openings. Probably hasn't finished his vodka yet.

[@exoplanet11]

He doesn't always get to the endgame.

[@locutusdborg126]

Simagin deserves much credit for fighting so hard in the end, where most of Tal's opponents resign very early. Local newspapers wrote that the room became so excited by this fierce chess battle that other players began throwing their pieces at each other and even broke some chairs. The police were called in to quell the riot and allow Tal to finish the game. Okay, I made this up but it might have happened.

[@theshadowtz]

Tal is just simply amazing. A madman with a chess set. Thanks for uploading!

[@samuelbruyneel]

We had to guess the move 8 times, if I counted correct. Tal is probably the most impredictable Grandmaster I've ever seen. So many sacrifices, and moves that look like blunders at first sight, but they turn out te be pure attacking genius after all...

[@pashapasovski5860]

I am in love with Mato...can't listen to anyone else ! seriously

[@RajeshSharma0170]

Pasha Pasovski.. He is good orator... Regds

[@cachotango]

but you'r not the only one!

[@leandrobaluyotjr5181]

Thanks a lot for this amazing Tal game ! As usual,Mr Mato's video upload is well-presented and complete with tailored-fit narration . The descriptive phrase "..and started crying .."added more drama and crescendo to the already hypnotized viewers of this video. Well done and more success to you Mr.Mato !

[@sboshaon9864]

When I see tal's game on your upload list, I become happy. Thank you Mr. Mato... :)

[@edwardalexandercrowley42]

Delightful. I've seen this game is the basic positions we should start from. As Kasparov said in his first book "The Champion Teaches Chess": When studying openings, you have to start by using the open ones, then the semiopen & finally the closed. As the King's Gambit is hyper-open then we start with KG positions; in this game arises a KG-like position, so knowing KG is so helpful as we meet hyper-open positions like this one. Magnificent game for a beginer as this is the king of first positions he should learn.

[@praseen21]

lol "double blind folded" is hilarious :). Congratulations Mato, fantastic video

[@DrRobotFish]

Tal is a freaking chess madman. No other player's games in history have made my jaw drop like his.

[@fai6l528]

What a fantastic style there is absolutely no way to counter his incredible attacking technics. Please Mr. Mato more of Tal games :)

[@giovannicappello2916]

Tal is always the best, more Tal videos Mato please!

[@deniztuncer296]

Wow! Two Tal games in a row :) Thanks Mato!

[@GoUtes92]

"White made a move and Black started crying." lol

[@moonblink]

I saw all the moves! Great video, as always. Thanks Mato :)

[@NikhilSharma-jj8nn]

Nice work, i always enjoy your stuff but i think it'd be even better if you take more variants into consideration.. many times i feel that something should have been explained in the video which you didnt and that kind of bothers me sometime ...i hope you'd work on that... JUST WANNA SEE YOU GETTING BETTER !!you have that art.. keep UPLOADING :)

[@arkitectoor]

Tal's motto: When in doubt, sacrifice.

[@moronesaxatilis]

Great game 👍 great video 👍 thanks Mato

[@burakyunan2967]

Guessing a move (of Tal) will improve your chess. Mikhail Tal The Super Hero !

[@landrover1012]

Mato ur videos are well explained but short,it will be good if u try to exlain further when a piece is moved,ur openion and the openion of the public.

[@arunchalla5453]

What a game And i liked when you said "blacked started crying"

[@exoplanet11]

A brilliant but not crushing win by Tal. After capturing black queen, material was still equal. Amazing how many times he pulled victory from the jaws of defeat. Often every other move than the one he makes are losing.

[@arupian666]

Unusual game... A game involving Misha Tal that went to an end game...

[@MrHaxid]

@matojelic: how many moves did you guessed ?? Mato asked the question and I started crying ... lol :)

[@MrMakosi]

ahahaahha best comment ever!

[@shadabalam2850]

Mikhail Tal Did For What he was Famous? Sacrifice A piece for nothing for Crushing King Absolutely Fantastic

[@eddyficio66]

You make me laugh so much Mato, thank you

[@Diademic111]

fantastic game... I love all of Tal's games

[@shadedness]

Tal was such a grandiose chess player.

[@linusherr8257]

Hello all! Great video!

[@cz19856]

I remember this game, I think you uploaded it some years ago

[@MukhtarSiddiq]

...I knew that will happened. ?!.. Tal. played the move, And Simagin .Cried...😄 I mean.. Resigned

[@Mac11821]

What a game! What a fight!

[@engrtun]

Finally I get to see a Tal endgame.

[@cmck362]

That knight sac was too easy to see. Of course our hero will sac the knight. Tal wouldn't disappoint us with a boring game. Not sure what his opponent was thinking though. One does not simply provoke Tal into sacrificing material.

[@cachotango]

what a videos! so far the one!!

[@albanpacolli4046]

Hi Mato i like your videos very much . Can you tell me some books about Mikahel Til games please

[@betulaobscura]

Impressive game!

[@DzulkifliMdMovingForward]

love this game...thanks Mato

[@isaacdebbarma7478]

I like the game of Tal very much

[@powerguido1299]

Tnks!!

[@khaledhasan6998]

Thnx Mato

[@abadialsharif8537]

مجنووووون وربي

[@nnzrsinanovic6475]

Nice game tnx mato

[@asumelisadesteli5520]

Thanks Mato

[@drhosearmando]

BRILLIANT

[@niffbong1099]

More tal games plz

[@rubencantu9987]

Beautiful game 👍👌

[@CarlosCorreiaOficial]

Uow!!!! I love Tal´s style. And I´m glad with me for hit the right move!!!! Yes! lol

[@manuelodabashian]

Great game very tough!

[@everbiage]

A great game and a great lecture! Just wondering (and there MUST be something I do not see): why, at 7:36, after Black's Re8, didn't Tal move his queen to g6? The only defense for Black would've been ...Bd4. c3:d4, and Black can do nothing to prevent Qg7#. What am I missing?

[@josephvictory9536]

Qg6, Re3-Re7 and attack is dead

[@MarcyRavenManji]

@@josephvictory9536 incorrect, Queen would still deliver checkmate on g7. after Qg6, black plays Be7+ and after white plays Kh5, Rh3 is checkmate

[@dondefact3541]

May you play black Tal. Good one Mato.

[@landrover1012]

wow,white succrificed R and got for Q,that was the best part.

[@MrLimon27]

Double blind-folded? What about... triple? :v

[@mouradbedalia196]

The king of the secrified

[@khaledsaoudi8665]

Tal's opponent showed real good resistance this time , I m wondering if there are some videos where the magician of Riga actually loses a game xD

[@pierforce12]

Awesome game!

[@dicklaurent1]

I play like Tal! Just kidding...

[@bos7539]

+adrianbobby I immitate Tal's aggressive tactics. But I am not a genius, so I lose more often than I win!

[@stjepan_dzalto]

Mato pokaži nam jedan Talov meč koji je izgubio! hvala Mato show us a match in which Tal loses! Thank you

[@MatoJelic]

stjepan Džalto I already uploaded 4

[@stjepan_dzalto]

Molim te, pošalji linkove :)

[@Frostgaming335]

Was Tal a human???

[@MrCupidd]

Actually a rook and 2 pieces are worth more than a queen. A queen is 9 points the 3 pieces are about 11. Here blacks developments was lagging and the pieces did not coordinate. Nice game!

[@LouisX23]

this was intense

[@cardogkitchen4106]

If you play with Tal, you will start to cry in about 10 moves.

[@reem_ice]

7:47 Q-g6, next move take g7 pawn w/ either Q or R?

[@fujiapple9675]

Those were some great jokes Mato!

[@fimasinurat4134]

Please make video about Utut

[@MatoJelic]

+Fima Sinurat What is Utut? Is it food?

[@fimasinurat4134]

He is the best indonesian chess player

[@ryanhaz7153]

ntar gw bikin mbak

[@abhishekmishra9294]

Haha ! Seems a delicious fried pawn !!

[@abdulrahmanalsheikhali3162]

Mato at 6:48 why back did not play bishop f6, he could protect the knight and provide some kind of defence in front of the king

[@69u5]

Q to b5 check and QxN

[@abdulrahmanalsheikhali3162]

right, but i think u mean Q to f5... thanks

[@vitakyo982]

Tal had more fun than his opponents

[@SaurabhXDD]

Worst game black didnt try to crush that pawn when it was marching to a8 :3

[@abhishekmishra9294]

When Mato crack jokes, I can't resist my devil laugh :)

[@paulbrowning9055]

that pawn bolted lol

[@viniciusbueno3173]

Are you an Australian?

[@milindd6513]

playing Pawn h3 last moment he would have 2 queens... isnlt it...?

[@test0682]

double blind-folded? wheres the other area that gets folded?

[@JoRoWi83]

Anyone know what Tal’s overall record was?

[@MrSadflkja]

I believe Max Lange is much more savage than Tal. But that is just my opinion

[@HariHaran-hq3mk]

somebody tell me why can't black play Bf6 after 26th move Qe6

[@engrtun]

Hari Haran First you tell me, were you actually counting moves? :-/

[@itshitime]

are there any games where tal destroys the Berlin

[@locutusdborg126]

East or West Berlin?

[@itshitime]

u cant be serious

[@bengann79]

attacking maniac ))

[@shizyninjarocks]

Rampage.

[@lsjshez6940]

Did he ever bloody lose?!!!

[@VoraXYZ]

I think to Bobby Fischer. I'm not sure though.

[@VoraXYZ]

He has beaten Bobby Fischer too however.

[@MrJoeljoy]

He lost to rashid nezhemetidov who i believe was better than Tal in creative attacking chess play , Rashid was in the army for years and didn't practise chess often, if he only concentrated chess he would have been the greatest chess player of all time, he was a 5 time USSR champion, No joke.

[@GoUtes92]

He actually exchanged championships with Mikhail Botvinnik. (He took Botvinnik's title and then Botvinnik got it back from Tal in a rematch).

[@ElyaneTalk]

White pkayed a move and black started crying !!! hahahahaha

[@lachlanbrown637]

+Vinicius Bueno Yeah he is. Checkout chessschoolsa.wordpress.com/about-mato-jelic/
