Spanish Champion vs Mikhail: Tal Las Palmas 1977

[@TheRubsi]

There is no shame in losing whwen your opponent played brilliantly :-)

[@briaryos1]

That's what I tell myself *every* time I lose.

[@Alekhine-lr9cp]

Magnus willnt agree to this

[@CARLOSSAA-y6f]

Oh...Señor Mato, your final commentary was absolutely hilarious. Excellent lesson. Blessings to you!

[@balazsio]

If Tal win, the city would called Las Talmas

[@lyndoneh]

What a beautiful game by Segovia, are there any more informative games by this grand master?

[@Miter_everyCorner-uk6on]

Harry Lyndon here is some info about him according to google 😂 Fernando Visier Segovia is a Spanish chess player with the rank of FIDE Master. He won the Spanish Chess Championship twice. Born: 3 February 1943 (age 76 years), Madrid, Spain Education: CEIP San Ildefonso Peak rating: 2226 and in addition there was a famous game that he played against a player named Juan Curbelo.. I don't know what Curbelo's rating or level is.. But that game has been dubbed as the Spanish Immortal game..

[@Miter_everyCorner-uk6on]

and it undeniably was a great game.. If you watch it, i'm sure you'll know why they called it the Spanish Immortal😊

[@exoplanet11]

The cause of Tal's loss was probably the brilliance of Tal. This game was in '77 after the world had seen decades of Tal's games....and been inspired by his brilliant tactics and sacrifices, which elevated the game of chess to a new level of art and beauty. His opponent in this game, Segovia honors Tal by playing in Tal's own style, and defeating Tal at it as well. Great game.

[@benjammin8184]

I'd like to hear as such from Segovia himself.

[@giovannicappello2916]

Tal lost by his own style!!! Bravo spanish champion!

[@alexjayhernandez3501]

7:13 What happens after Kxh5?

[@alexjayhernandez3501]

I'm sure it'll be the same position that led Tal to resign but I'm curious of the possibilities.

[@danielgautreau161]

@@alexjayhernandez3501 W mates in 2 moves: / g4+, Kh4 / Ng6.

[@altimate1]

Never seen a player like Fernandez ❤️

[@157sachin2]

*When i say more tal it sound like mortal*

[@rubencantu9987]

Beautiful game..!! Saludes desde 🇲🇽

[@venkateswararao9837]

Thanks again Mato

[@azy63]

Folks, as much as we enjoy our favorite players, their losses just make them more human.

[@Socrates...]

Wasn't Tal in poor health by '77 ?

[@mohammedrezaulkarim7684]

Can u make a video of blumenfeld gambit game?

[@noerudin4528]

yes...my favorit player appeared again.thanks mato.

[@jairofonseca1597]

Tal's games are exiting even when he loses.

[@ravigyuu8876]

please add more games of tal . with tal s winning

[@kevinbyrne4538]

One can lose a queen for a rook -- while playing against a great player -- and still win. Very impressive.

[@khaledit7050]

Nooo Tal lose Of course because the bad vodka in las palmas lol

[@andreashoppe1969]

Tal sacrificed the king

[@mohammedrezaulkarim7684]

Hi Mr. Mato, how are you? Have u made this video from my info?

[@MatoJelic]

Mohamed, thank you for your suggestion

[@FranzElGato]

I hate when Tal lose he is my favourite chess player

[@dab1463]

Franz El Gato if you’re not big enough to lose - you’re not big enough to win

[@skakdosmer]

When Tal wins he's my favourite player. When Tal looses his opponent is my favourite player.

[@sumarsono9744]

Me too

[@yanisokamisensei327]

@Lau Thats called being an hypocrite

[@skakdosmer]

@Yanis, a hypocrite is insincere. I'm certainly not.

[@danupratama3417]

Segovia play like tal style .. brilian game i've ever seen

[@chrishauser5505]

What a "bru-Tal" victory for White! Thanks Mato!

[@sohailkarim76]

Till the last moment of the video, I was expecting that at the end Mato will tell "the player with white pieces was Tal"😒

[@kishenborkar]

Tal would have been so furious that legend says vodka sales went up that night

[@robertpesevski1641]

E viva Espana! Nice mate imagine, thanks a lot Mato!

[@ferdinandbuenavides1256]

No sac by tal?

[@arunjyotibanik7878]

Why do you (Mato) say, "What do u think?" ...... What could we think??? It's a Tal game.

[@himanshu8999]

I believe the names are reversed in this game because the winner played like Tal 🤘

[@peterjongsma2754]

Great game! Brilliant.

[@aviationkid1286]

Tal didn't sacrifice anything.. That's why he lost

[@amyalindaily3781]

Tks

[@fporretto]

Quite a game. That Queen sac looked entirely positional. The concluding combinations took quite a while to develop.

[@GeorgeHernandez-ye3vh]

Tals opponent is Anna Cramlings father!

[@rosse.weiler8420]

Brilliant play!

[@jerromedrakejr9332]

Tal would have better chace with Queen take pawn on g3 instead of King take Knight on h5...

[@paul_ralte]

Tal lost!!! This is impossible. He must have had at least 3 bottles of vodka 😀😁😂

[@CARLOSSAA-y6f]

Three bottles of bad vodka! :-)

[@parthabandyopadhyay3912]

or didn't...

[@TheNice1263]

Partha Bandyopadhyay bad vodka really

[@PiyushSharma-gi4kl]

I watched a fifteen minute add to watch this eight minute video...

[@anarchinistaskatepunkeria9881]

Aggressive Tal will comeback again.

[@akashchavan2545]

Then also tal is tall cause he is the artist of that game

[@OilOnCanvasHowIDoIt]

Too good. What a game!!!!!

[@Scorpionwacom]

I think one should play chess without drinking vodka or other poisonous chemicals.

[@Oscar7468]

When I watch the genial playing, specially with the knights in this game, I just ask myself if Segovia is not a reincarnation of Chigorin?....

[@alexanderharveyconrad2409]

Was that the same tournament where he got beat up for flirting with someone's wife?

[@harrihonkanen749]

Even a blind hen lays an egg... sometimes..

[@khaledit7050]

LIKE for Tal game before watching

[@juanmanuelreyrodriguez4119]

great!

[@77Jabbawockeez]

i cant believe Tal got Taled!

[@manolomorales5175]

Even Tal was a human.

[@vaniragujana]

Why you have posted game that lost by TAL? May be on that day TAL mind is not good. Please ignore this game

[@georgepapadopoulos7303]

Great players must lose sometimes! The opposite would be worrying for chess! Brand new talents must appear!

[@altimate1]

Tal greatest weakness is black side

[@betulaobscura]

Las Palmas was way too hot for northern Latvian Tal...

[@MaheshKumar-cx6uq]

*What a rare sight!?*

[@dipeshgawade1338]

My favorite paul morphy and mikhail tal

[@brianfansher2427]

I think he lost because he got outmaneuvered. Everyone loses at times.

[@cjp21211]

Throw the attack on the attacker.

[@spdharan]

Its rare to see a game where Tal played black peices. 95% of games uploaded are with him as white. So no surprises he lost here.

[@balazsio]

The Spanish Tal win

[@amorlitopuruganan6730]

Idol

[@troytheriot8679]

Great game by white Tal got taste of Tal

[@bnskoundinya128]

Tal losing .... It is so disappointing....

[@arnulfododier4936]

Noooo, ¡cómo le pintaron la cara!

[@hnalike7778]

What a game

[@bnskoundinya128]

But it's only due to the baaddddd vodka

[@mhussien3426]

tal in black

[@Memoli-1981]

sooo tal can lose games too...hehehe

[@altimate1]

Tal seldom wins with black

[@gkvish]

Very Disappointing game
