Smyslov Hoped This Game Wouldn't Become Famous | Tal Had Other Plans

The ultimate Tal move would be Tal resigning a won game.

Agadmator, you are absolutely hilarious. I nice 'opening move' to compliment this crazy game. I mean, c'mon, who plays like this? Besides Tal. And Stockfish 14. Oh, and Shakriyar Mamedyarov. Ok, actually, also maybe Dubov and Caruana (for anybody who is confused, see Dubov vs. Karjakin, Russian Super Final, and Caruana vs MVL, Candidates 2021-2022).

[@axelstoll6536]

i remember this game. an old school german GM Helmut Pfleger analysed it as a bonus in a chess software. he said Smyslov defended flawlessly until the Nf6 move. cant recall the exact words of Pfleger but it was smth like: even a rock solid player like Smyslov fell for Tals black magic. it was the first tal game i saw so i got pretty excited when i read Smyslov + Tal in the title.

[@VibhutiBhushan]

Tal didn't resign. Agadmator, seems, intentionally put the wrong info. In next video Fischer vs gligoric, He corrects the info

[@Nullifidian]

3:46 - I was curious about why going back with the bishop was the "best move" since it looks like Bc5 wins a piece after white moves its queen out of danger, and this possibility wasn't analyzed in the video. It leads to a sharp tactical line that is winning for white, but it's so amazing that I wish it had been covered in the video. Here's one potential line I came up with in analyzing this position: 13... Bc5 14. Qh4 bxc4 15. Qg3 Nh5 (covering g7 and threatening the queen) 16. Qg5 g6 17. g4 f6 (saying "If you take my knight, I take your queen") 18. Nh6+ Kh8 19. Bc3 (pinning the f-pawn) Ng7 (getting the knight out of danger and unpinning) 20 Rxd7! (a tactical pin: if fxg5??, then Bxg7#) Bxd7 21. Qxc5 Qxa2 22. g5!! (saccing the remaining rook for activity) Qa1+ 23. Kd2 Qxh1 24. gxf6 Rxf6 (the pawn can't not be captured because if you play, say, Ne6 trying to threaten the queen then f7+ just reels the knight back to g7 and Qd4 (or Qe5) creates an unstoppable threat of checkmate. You can't move the rook to g8 to defend because both the knight on h6 and the f-pawn control it. If you do play Rg8, then fxg8Q+ (or fxg8R+) Rxg8 Nf7# with a smothered mate) 25. Bxf6 Qxf3 26. Qd4 (renewing the checkmate threat of Bxg7# and the rook still can't cover g8 because of the Nf7# smothered mate, so black now has to part with its queen) Qxf6 27. Qxf6 If you want, you can double white's pawns by playing 26... c3+ 27. bxc3 Qxf6, but still white has a winning advantage with a queen and knight against two minor pieces and a rook with four pawns each. But what a wild attacking line it would have been to get there. Just the sort of thing to play to Tal's style.

At 8:10, does the order truly matter? If you play Rd8 first, and after Bxd8 you play Bxe5, isn't Qxe5 the only defence anyways, therefore winning with Qf8 after?

I too found the same sequence but realized after 1. Rd8+ Bxd8 2. Bxe5+, black can delay mate with Bf6, then 3. Bxf6+ Kg8 4. Qg7#

Maybe you went on a bit fast after 13.Cf5, because it looks like it gives a piece after 13...Bc5. The attack that follows: 14.Qf4 bxc4 15.Bc3 is not obvious. I mean, who would dare play 13.Cf5! over the board, leaving your bishop hanging. And who would expect Bd8! to be the best response here!

He said that Soviet men were not "men"? And who was he, exactly, to question their manhood?

You shouldn't quote personal stuff from Fischer, knowing what we know about Fischer. He had and has NO right to lecture or point to people stuff about their "humanity" or "manhood".
