Ruy Lopez: Tal vs Unzicker - Stockholm 1961

[@pavanpatel4150]

These videos take me back. I remember when this channel was called Mato Jelic. I would watch these while studying for my exams when I was in school

[@issamelkadiri1015]

same thing, 2016

[@superidar74]

Same 😃

[@SuperNikhilg]

Tal will always be my favourite player!

[@shawnthegamer8252]

Mine too. It's so hard to mock his style

[@adityaseshadri1101]

it's amazing to me that mato is able to see the variations even though they weren't played.

[@stevewatson2383]

he can check with a chess engine. or he is very intelligent.

[@vasilemagureanu5001]

Steve Watson este foarte agresiv tot jocul

[@Enigmaprince]

I assume he checks the critical positions with a strong chess software program. Then makes his analysis and suggestions from there on

[@flaming-sword007]

It is a recurring motive in Tal games to sacrifice a piece for a pawn shielding the king.

[@pashapasovski5860]

I got the move, but only because you made me aware that a Tal like move is up! ! It's like tracings art by contacting the dots, yet I did get the YES!! ! Thanks Mato for turning me on to Tal, he is a true artists, win or lose! !!!

[@ochenapothik9288]

Ha ha ha... Not only genius but also he was a chess magician.... I never see such a player playing this type of sacrificing pieces in almost every game....

[@BalladCreek]

Thanks Mato :-) Great Game to analyze Mikhail Tal was one of the most Sharp and Aggressive players of all time. He had won the World Chess Championship in 1960, at the age of 26, His Games are always very Sharp .. Such as the one that you presented :-)

[@pedronetoomac]

2 videos in less than 30 minutes? That's great! Thank you Mato, you are the best! :)

[@marcossanchis926]

Mato,…… you are wonderful

[@MrGyges]

Playing Tal damages one’s health. Thanks for yet another precious stone from your treasure chest, Mr Mato. All joy.

[@marti2568]

Thank you Mato for this two beautiful videos...

[@kenbrown438]

Happy New Year , Mato !!!!

[@MatoJelic]

Thank you. Happy New Year to you too.

[@Chefiscool]

this is the best!!! well done mato not long till you hit the big 30K

[@dgongob]

very good commentator ever, good work mato... please dont stop it.

[@fporretto]

Thank you. I do love (and try to keep up with) the theory of the classic Kingside openings. (I keep hoping for a revival of the Danish Gambit.)

[@filter80808]

Subtle lines and a crushing defeat; thanks for the demonstration Mato!

[@johnericmenor5303]

qatarchess tour.

[@steeltitans]

Beautiful match

[@36AccountsBlockedRIP]

Excellent observation.

[@SimonShilo]

Thanks again Mato

[@fporretto]

The Breyer variation of the Closed Ruy Lopez is filled with subtleties. It's no surprise that Tal was able to unearth a forcing continuation out of what looked like a fairly humdrum position.

[@g-modb8389]

Good lesson thank you

[@betulaobscura]

Cool game!

[@mikewilliams7745]

I just love it!! Mato do you have any videos of Bobby Fischer utilizing any black defense vs. the Ruy Lopez? Did Fischer ever use the Arch angel defense of the Moller type defense from black?

[@SimonShilo]

Tal was truly creative. His sacrifices are never visible in advance

[@swewunna]

There is a whole variation called open variation in which Nxe4 followed by d4 and white eventually recapture on e5 withd pawn. About equal.

[@SuperSteveAnon]

I like feeling smart at the "what would you do" sections because its almost always a big sacrifice.

[@alexobed3184]

That games is sick.

[@DerivedEnergy]

''The Breyer variation of the Closed Ruy Lopez is filled with subtleties.'' This man knows his chess. :-)

[@Auberoni]

Tal is amazing.....

[@Jewgataga]

plus at 04:32 ..Kf8 is forced since ..Kg6 is punished by Na4 checkmate

[@kingwhite6418]

not a checkmate, Kh5 is possible after Kg6. Still would be winning though.

[@rohitkumar-oy7bq]

Tals game is always like a thriller movie

[@jacobdrollinger4802]

OMG, I'm getting so good! O called both of the crucial moves in the game. There's a first time for everything!

[@MEME-qe4ze]

Amazing Tal!

[@arunjaiho]

Good game Mato. Awesome narration. I guess, @ 2:28 Rook was mainly moved to protect the pawn on f2. Right? :)

[@amyalindaily3781]

Tks Mato for the game I'm late but ok 😊❤.

[@joyaldendiaz4229]

i really enjoyed this game

[@rollingnay]

As a newbie Tal by way of Mato has taught me to not always go with taking pieces but to focus on the point of the game of getting checkmate. Maybe a more experienced player can say that more eloquently than this novice. Thank you Mato for video !

[@xRoyalChefx]

Thank you mato

[@renehenriksen1735]

It´s like the old game for Commodore 64 computters called "Skate or die" at the pool with Poseur Pete, Agroo Eddie and Lester himself. :)

[@studlydoright111]

The brilliance of Misha Tal

[@Mallorax]

Thx :)

[@Herman47]

Unzicker seemingly made only 1 mistake (not contesting the c file). One would think that a mistake of this nature would not be enough to lose the game, but evidently it was.

[@MrSupernova111]

He also misplaced his queen . That's two mistakes.

[@markmclean9031]

Herman47 As a tournament player myself I can tell you that one mistake is all it takes!

[@ernestoguevara7624]

😊

[@TheStupidLama]

i often even SEE the winning moves.. but it's just a hint and I could never come up with what to play next :D

[@Mallorax]

Hi i'm a beginner chess player and i have a question. Can someone explain me why in Ruy Lopez after White's 5th move O-O black's doesn't usually play Nxe4 ?

[@fredackerman2511]

Walking Tal

[@Ophiuchus123456789]

Fred Ackerman mikhal tal-ent

[@GBV1436]

I wish I could play like Tal

[@Chefiscool]

unzicker disliked this video

[@AmbitiousAkbar]

We need Tal's imagination to bring some excitement to 2016 world chess championship.

[@TcheQ]

Tal would be crushed.

[@lionwarriorking]

TcheQ _ or would crush everyone

[@TcheQ]

Zafar Valiev Magnus already knows all of Tal's games - Tal doesn't have that advantage

[@AmbitiousAkbar]

I don't think you are quite familiar with Tal's games. He was extremely unpredictable which means knowledge of previous games was of little use.

[@jairofonseca1597]

Tal has few undefeated records.

[@liodhan]

Indeed =D

[@bh8642]

Questiion: At 3:38, when white's black bishop attacks black's queen, why couldn't black move his black bishop to b4 (instead of moving his pawn to b4)?

[@WillYum97]

Finally a Tal game!

[@coosoorlog]

More Immortal Tal

[@alialherz498]

Is there any game were the player sacrifice peace against tal ?

[@Neueregel]

good

[@Niqqo]

If this game was played in Sweden, the correct spelling would be "Stockholm" not sure if there is something called Stochkolm though so yeah.. Anyways good game review! :)

[@gottadomor7438]

@4:10: A4. Queen trapped?

[@DanMarino5]

why didn't black take the pawn at the opening by the knight ?

[@cfifao]

I have a question, why doesn't bishop take knight on c6 at the beginning of the game, and then capture pawn on e5 with knight?

[@Quasicynical]

I always favorite Tal.

[@martinkotalik9455]

And where is Stockholm? Stockholm is the capital of Sweden :)

[@mohammedriaz7667]

sensational Tal

[@fothinator]

I would liked to have seen a match of Tal and Carlson

[@locutusdborg126]

***** Huh??? Carlsen beat Anand to become world champion....twice.

[@locutusdborg126]

***** Carlsen is not my favorite. Of the newer players I like Caruana.

[@guydesouza4753]

+Locutus D'Borg Yeah if Caruana wins the candidates Carlsen will lose the WC.

[@HollyMartins]

It sounds like a real dead game......haha

[@swewunna]

I don't know how Unziker managed to play so passively with Breyer variation.

[@Krzych113]

I understand that Unzicker didn't take the pawn on e4 with 5. O-O Nxe4 because of this variation 5. O-O Nxe4 6. Re1 Nf6 7. Nxe5 * ? So White is going to be ahead in developement

[@mehmetinci2835]

why when Qb3 Nd6 ?

[@Daggerfall40]

I didn't catch the winning move but that was a great combination.

[@stoobias]

someone might get the impression from your videos that Tal never lost, though i do remember one video where Tal refrained from socking his opponent in the nose.

[@abuhaekal6632]

Kenapa hrs ada teks nya ..menghalangi buah catur

[@Etazoz]

Great video, although the spelling is "Stockholm".

[@punkomattic89]

Yet again I didn't find the winning move :( I fear I will never be a grandmaster at this rate

[@vincenzegreisingel2429]

25. Qb3 Kf8 26. Ng5 Nd5 27. ed5 Nc5 if 28. Qf3+ Bf6 delaying

[@colourmegone]

Always love to see a Tal game. They didn't call him "the magician from Riga" for nothing. And where is Riga...?

[@mohammadbeheshti3907]

Tal 👑💗

[@Forstanoob]

Yay a game in sweden:D

[@moonblink]

I saw the Killa Move, but I didn't see that he would resign. I need to play more chess.

[@liodhan]

I remember a video Mato uploaded that Tal lost for his teacher =p

[@steveschollnick1729]

After Qb3+ Nd5 looks interesting

[@vaffanculo54321]

Tal is always the best!

[@locutusdborg126]

Tal was a super-human.

[@BrilliantOrb]

I agree

[@abrahamanand5739]

Hi this is Mato

[@pramodchauhan1494]

Tal is legend

[@esteban1487]

Tal was a monster.

[@leMUrian023]

Tal has not reverse gear.

[@sssppp4248]

Chess wizardry.

[@topspin242]

Tal forked him up!

[@ramsirsat5099]

tal se tal mila

[@stevewatson2383]

tal se lay bhi mila

[@WAPBodie]

If Tal offer the piece, never take it :-)

[@briankarcher8338]

Better yet, just resign.

[@rdptll]

always a bishop sacrifice.

[@howardvalencia6665]

The problem with chess people is they think they know everything.

[@TheDarkzerox123]

c4!? I bet the opponent fell of his chair.

[@xtolhim]

I think anybody who can see that deeply into the match...and resign, makes me want to stick to poker. Jk. How do they do it??

[@kekakekic9991]

If Nxe4 Re1

[@tonylim1225]

!!!!

[@gambu4810]

Tal was too sophisticated

[@adflicto1]

Very complicated game

[@strawhat708]

more tal games matoooooo
