Most Unexpected Turn of Events | Tal vs Botvinnik 1960. | Game 7

[@tfwtgf]

Now I can impress the ladies with my extensive knowledge of the 1959 candidates tournament then seal the deal with my knowledge of the 1960 world chess championships

You will soon be exploding the populations of entire nations! But, beware of chaffing.

[@leonardgoodison9595]

So creepy...

[@rjhoward7006]

this comment is legendary

[@thickgraymane5145]

😂😂😂😂 You need a life

[@albinodeer7449]

Nb1 And resignation Not only returning the piece to the back rank, but also to the square from where it started the game (yes, i checked it, the knight that came to b1 is the one that started from there) "In my beginning is my end", T. S. Eliot wrote. I guess it is true here

[@Blarsen780]

Albino Deer Wow! I love this game even more now.

[@Blarsen780]

Edit: After a re-watch, I can confirm that it is the same knight. Edit: This was not an edit at all.

[@kingStribor]

That knight is like the alchemist from Coelho's book.

[@pranavdatta4731]

You sir are an excellent subscriber

[@v.gopalakrishnan350]

What a great master this Tal was!

[@shantoreywilkins651]

v. gopalakrishnan 🔬🔬👑

[@radrook4481]

Weird how he could sense such subtle nuances in such complicated positions. Imagine if his health had never interfered with his games.

[@shaileshbhoi9568]

What a great *monster* this Tal was!

[@ArjunKG95]

:O I actually liked this more than game 6. That 'allowed the tactic by going out of his way to prevent it' bit was awesome... And watching Tal slowly convert that advantage into a win by playing super-solid moves was brilliant

[@krcrk]

I recommend this channel to every chess player I know. As always, thanks for the consistent, quality content. Cheers

[@motivmotto]

Did not comment for a long time Just wanted to let u know that ur still my favourite

[@warrenhuffman3910]

good dog activity in this video

[@Tobirobidopi]

A good lesson of the endgame too at the end. Love the videos, Agad.

[@9181shreyasbhatt]

This is amazing!!! and its is even more amazing to those who have read "Tal-Botvinnik, 1960 by Mikhail Tal" you do capture the essence.

[@dashengovender766]

That game was intense two pawns opposite sides competing for a queen.🔥🔥🔥

[@alexandereastwood1]

Now for a real challenge, did anyone know if the knight on b1 at the end was the original knight that started there or the other knight.

[@Blarsen780]

Alex Eastwood It is indeed the one that started on that square and the more active of the two.

[@davidcopson5800]

I was up all knight trying to figure it out.

[@manojbala6870]

It was beautiful to see the two knights figure skating on the board

[@spiralabyss9989]

Royal chariot by the legend himself

[@pawanbhatt1840]

You are a genius agadmator.your voice is too tempting .it feels i listening a soft music.

[@Narrowcros]

Never saw this game before. I did see the previous two wins before as they we're a bit complicated and talked about a lot but never this one. Thanks for sharing.

[@electricmaster23]

Such a narrow victory. Very gallant effort from Botvinnik.

[@graceastronomo9349]

Tal a true legend!! Thanks AGodMater!

[@cssfriendly]

Your voice helps me have a great nap. Thank you

[@singh.jayesh1866]

U know that the channel is fantastic when people pride in 1st view, like and comment :D keep up the excellent work 👍 #tal

[@casey9015]

That was an awesome game! Very neat tactics coming out of nowhere!

[@gautamganguli1221]

Lovely end game by the attacking genius Tal!

[@dan35669]

Regarding the question at 13:42. Why not Nf6+? Then black king moves. White can then play Ne8, blocking the Rook from stopping promotion. The Knight on d2 can easily stop promotion of the passed black pawn.

[@charliegiles5627]

the king attacks the knight then so it has to move away then promotes.

[@godsdisciple2904]

_Because after nf6 check, King still reach the e7 square so that ne8 was useless_

[@1joao123]

the dog at 2:40

[@iamsin6808]

Early in the morning I get my coffee, eggs, and toast. I see agadmator uploaded. Click on it to watch while I eat. HELLLOOOO EVERYONE!!! Jumped and spilled coffee on my eggs.

[@mariustrica9047]

Ye, who doesn't like a agad?

[@MartinPineda98765abcd]

I thought I knew chess quite well but after trying to study the moves of Tal, I conclude that I do not know this game enough

[@carlingtonme]

It would be so great to see Tal.1960 vs Magnus!

[@richardfeynman5560]

Great video, like always, and a very instructive endgame from which even untalented players like me can learn something!

[@carron979]

9:30 brilliant!!!

[@malikalonazi2411]

شكراً 🙋🏻‍♂️🧞‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️

[@violetasuklevska9074]

Nb1 is setting up for the next game

[@thomassifford5356]

Your dog loves that couch lol. Love your channel

[@omariqbal7833]

I can't wait for the next two games, I know that they are going to be amazing!

[@preussenuberalles1682]

Wonderful both the game and the explanation!

[@AM-sp6je]

That dog on the couch is so distracting and cute! I love Medo

[@gladJonas]

great game

[@gwho]

You know what's an even more brilliant move than rook to B6? 6:40 Dog to couch2 2:37

[@denniscow9054]

The dog is hilarious XD

[@godsdisciple2904]

*Tal is Legendary Master of All Time Salute to Your Legacy💪✨👏*

[@kargs5krun]

I'm just guessing but, methinks Fischer studied/learned a lot of/from Tal in aggressive/sacrificial chess strategy(ies). Would be very interesting to see a chart of how all of the modern day/major world champions fared against one another, W-L-D, career wise. I'd bet there were some P.I.T.A. matchups for many of them that would make for good stories.

[@TheMrshadab1]

ur rlly good agadmator.. love you

[@mustafamertozylmaz6006]

I was watching round 6 when u uploaded this.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Ne2 fantastic move stopping the king from capturing the pawn Tal with this Beautiful endgame with his two knights he worked them like a charm Thanks Agadmator Great tal game

[@KeshavKumar-po5th]

I am speechless... What a game..

[@stefanfouche6823]

I made the right end game move. Felt good... then I remembered I had to study for tomorrow's physics test😂

[@erikmatonickin]

Best part: 01:27

[@kevinmalone3210]

Tal had all these crazy berserker moves, yet he was also brilliant.

[@thedoctor3151]

An amazing game! Basically Botvinnik just blundered by allowing Tal the tactick after Nh5

[@eswarrao688]

Two monster players! These kind of players doesn't exist now a days! Wow

[@Lazy.y]

Waw Thanq Antonio ~

[@akattom]

why didnt the black rook take the knight on g5 instead of the pawn at 11:43??? could have been 1 less knight to deal with into the end-game.

[@daltonholt8633]

akattom then tal would play knight to e4 forking king and rook

[@TMadhusudan]

White knight forks rook and king

[@mariustrica9047]

I bet you're less than 1100 elo

[@akattom]

Okay thanks for the answer guys. Yes I am not a very good chess player that's why I asked the question. No need to be rude.

[@GeorgeTel100]

fantastic channel!

[@volt4ge965]

11:44 why does the rook not capture the knight?

[@XTheBestDX]

Mighty - Mobile Gaming You get knight e-4 winning the rook

[@volt4ge965]

Paul Tycheros oh yea. Thanks for that 👍

[@AndreiMitroiu]

Agad, it would be nice if you made some tutorial videos concerning openings. Those would be amazing with your style of exploring variations.

[@manuelrodrigues5996]

I used to be a Berlin player,but recently I started playing the Caro Kahn and I m faring fairly well, it's my favourite opening right now, I seem to play better with Caro Kahn than the berlin, go figure

[@Rainbowhotpocket]

Tangled in Tal's Tactics!

[@michaelmendillo7513]

It seemed to me, that the end game began as soon as they traded Queens,,,, great game. ! Go Tal. !!!!

[@vivekjoshi5207]

Wonderful game by the magician from riga...

[@T-Krash]

That king move caught me off guard ..i was hoping for knight to f6 😂😂😂😂 tal is tal

[@teemusa5846]

2:35 it’s almost like something eats medo behind the chair

[@marthadunkley6758]

Ah, Medo's youthful panting backscratching antics! (at 2:36) It is 2022 and the Candidates is over and there is a little time to catch up on Tal-Botvinnik.

[@jacekgatkowski8869]

A move with knight backwards ends this one. Ivanchuck approves ;) You know what i mean if you watched his interview from Gibraltar :D

[@mandarkulkarni9999]

Who wants video on medo?

[@jean-pierrejoubert2277]

have Medo do analysis on game 8

[@jamiemalokas3693]

Who doesn't ?

[@nakulbam5067]

#suggestion Adhiban Bhaskaran vs Richard rapport Reyjavik open round 8. Especially suggested this one cause I know you like Adhiban's style

[@nakulbam5067]

Forgot to mention 2018 but you will get that

[@iehabaldali9374]

At the end king f5 looks interesting too what do you think ? @agadmator ?

[@LavrencicUrban]

WHEN YOU LIKE EVERY VIDEO ON THE CHANNEL EVEN BEFORE YOU START WATCHING IT, YOU KNOW YOU'RE HOOKED!

[@vishaladwani16]

Just out of curiosity On move 44 instead of Nh7 Can Nf6 be a idea After that Ne6

[@RibusPQR]

I found the secret move! It's obvious - the king has to be protected by the knight.

[@KaninoWorldIsThis]

I'm a little confused by 34.Nxg5 Rxb3... why wouldn't Botvinnik not capture the knight that just moved to g5?

[@JimTDF]

Antonio, not sure why you keep putting stress on the first syllable in Botvinnik's surname. It's Botvi'nnik, with the stress on the first "i". In any case, thanks for the very good video!

[@mariustrica9047]

Found the winning move!!! I'm so proud of myself!!!

[@mariustrica9047]

I'm around 1650 elo

[@xaero1958]

Any reads for some good openings?

[@ashokasokan8823]

Thanks for the nice match

[@KasperK0210]

Hello, saw an amazing game the other day between Karpov+Anand+Kramnik against 3 russian talents!! You'll find it by searching 3 world champions against 3 russian talents, amazingly rare to see the world champions discuss chess. You could check it out if u want, Great video!!

[@tusharbasra9724]

Kasper K0210 the talents were nepo and karjakin and one other guy

[@dreggory82]

Kasper K0210 I think agadmator should cover this exhibition. It shows clash of styles and it would be fun to analyze.

[@volt4ge965]

TUSHAR BASRA dubov or something like that

[@therealpaulmorphy]

Can you analysis after this series the la bourdannious vs alexander mcdonnell games from 1838

[@Narmar12]

Could you analize what if after pawn to d3 and king to d4 what will happen please

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Two Knights are stronger than one Rook,,, What a Great game !!! ,, 😁🖒

[@sujaykherdekar7541]

For me this game was as good as game 6.Two knights vs a rook endgame was nothing short of a thriller.

[@cameronmckenna6939]

Your dogs antics really distracted me 🐕

[@OriginalAimbot]

Hey why aren't you doing the three world champions match?

[@schwindsichtigaderechte5293]

I'm proud of myself, I found the move!

[@abhinavjain2985]

From 12:03 to 12:13 Did Botvinnik just improve Tal's position, without gaining anything. Seems like angry checks to me tbh

[@Macius192]

knight comming back all the way to b1 to end the game is kinda poetic

[@ebwholesaler]

- " Stop playing RODEO with your white knights, we're not at the !#$@$! circus ! " (Botvinnik, angry) - " Hee Haw ! I won !... " (Tal, happy)

[@frozenmoon998]

I came here for Tal's brilliancy, but stayed because of Agad's dog.

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Boy, these two certainly know how to put on a show ! Lol !!!! 😜🖒♕♔

[@jesusrodriguez-gomez4469]

It's shocking to lose a championship game with white pieces. This was probably the turnaround of this competition.

[@mlgbblade5221]

Never clicked so fast

[@siddharthjain8526]

I didn't get the king to f3move.. Though maximum times I get the correct move when you say pause the video and analyze but this time I didn't.. The reason I lose end games many times.

[@pribilko]

I cant see a picture??

[@jovonbrown4703]

I 💘 Bobby,but Tal is the Best

[@SUBHABRATABAGCHIrinkoo]

Best vid ever

[@whitemask-Community]

Tal se taal mila.... oooooo..... 😂❤

[@Southeast_Asian_Devil]

13:54 Me: King f5

[@huberhg]

What a match!!
