Tal destroys Scandinavian defence: Tal vs Chandler

[@mattsunny]

Even todays supercomputers would not think as beautifully as this guy.. its like a master painter with his brush.. this is just so beautiful..!

[@engrtun]

Moral: "If Tal offers you queen, you should just resign."

[@keykocandraalvaro3569]

😁😁😁

[@Smarkenham16]

most beautiful game ive ever seen in my life!

[@mario6279]

+snowdevil122 which one?

[@FelipeNovaesRocha]

+That Feel Tha game should call "The Queen teleportation"

[@gambu4810]

Most beautiful thing I've ever seen myself😱

[@manojbala6870]

I'm just stoked by Tal. What unrelentless and unbiased hatred towards the opponents king!

[@maliksumit1]

If Tal was sacrificing more then one piece in continuation,it means you'r done and resign gracefully without bothering about continuation.

[@Teemu_TV]

Tal is so great that I wouldn't mind if you covered every game played by him

[@ananananify]

TheBeastHole hey please share the link of Mato for that match, please if you know Mato's commentary of that match

[@ananananify]

kurzackd please share the link of that match with Mato's commentary if Mato uploaded thay match i am very curious!

[@lesabotage]

When it's a Tal's game, I first like the video AND THEN I watch the video!

[@lubbertwestra7452]

My fav player of all time. Genius on the board. 😊😊😊

[@JohnnyBarko]

This was honestly one of the most amazing games I have seen, and made even better by expert commentary, thanks Mato!

[@harshithsajangadde1460]

look at the board after queen sacrifice. what a beautiful position. Both black queen and black Knight sit there helplessly watching their king get checkmated.

[@chinadan86]

Trying to play Scandinavian defence against Tal is like poking a hungry lion with a stick.

[@mikekeenan8450]

Playing the Qd8 variation of the Scandinavian against Tal is like poking ten hungry lions with a stick.

[@swewunna]

Might I add, in his cage.

[@riccardoguadagna3513]

Opening looks fine to me. He found some brilliant tactics in the middlegame

[@DennisGr]

i am at times infuriated how good of an attacker tal was. brilliant.

[@ingwevanyarin3839]

Tal is simply brilliant. My favourite player

[@pneumatic00]

One of the most powerful attacks I've ever seen. Brutal!

[@rivalconsoles_music]

incredible attack! thanks Mato.

[@tucowept]

These videos of Tal games are my favorites, I think they improve my game the most. Not that I can calculate like Tal but I look for moves that I would not have considered in the past. Thank you Mato. And I did hit the like button.

[@lowlypeasant]

That is beyond brilliant.

[@abhilashamehta920]

Mikhail Tal, the master of sacrificing. what a sac and what an astonishing move

[@SC2spanjel]

Wow I didn't even notice that the knight was pinned on e6,, what a brilliant game !

[@lindalee7087]

That was the whole point of sacrificing the first knight to pin black's knight

[@nikunjakishoresundaray7984]

Another blinder from the Master, and beautifully served, spicy and hot! Thank you Mato!

A brilliant mind. He plays chess like anybody else, and he style of life that make him not a constant competitor was what make him who he is. I admire him all the way. One of the greatest and is not underrated. He earn his place.

[@alexab200926]

Bravo, Mato--speechless!

[@alahappanmeyyappan9582]

Great Game! Thanks Mato! More of Tal's Game Please...

[@Debanil12]

Yield of a Complex Mind...... really stunnin!!

[@alkowsky]

Incredible !!! What vision by the greatest attacking player in the history of the game...

[@cameront3768]

OMG.. Best Tal game I have ever seen. What a genius....

[@centauro154]

Dear Mato, I think this is the best Tal game on your YT channel so far, because it clearly shows how deadly a truly powerful chess player can be when the pieces of his opponent are under-developped (Tal had a bishop pair and his rooks were connected and positioned on central files). Tal's games are impressing, I just can't help thinking that Tal already knew that he had a winning position when he sacrificed the knight.

[@velsi4]

The Queen sacrifice - it`s something wonderful and unusual. I really was astonished by this move. Thanks, Mato.

[@LJLMETAL]

Great game. I enjoy watching games from Tal.

[@timurrt7825]

I wish all top 10 we have in the world now would have the same desire to win... Very precise, absolutely killing tactics, strong combinatorial.... style...

[@Zrb1te]

Tal!!!! Phantastique deepthinkig moves! omG!

[@victorpalomar3319]

tal era un genio......hay que sacarse la galera ante este gran maestro....maestro eterno!!

[@eltrapo8784]

I always heard you must sacrifice everything to be the chess player...I didn't know they meant this.

[@mihaildragomir8591]

FANTASTIK IMAGINATION

[@CapnPink28]

WOW!!! Tal is simply amazing to watch.

[@MAMP]

This is really top level mating strategy. I'm so impressed.

[@Tasteless_Spaghetti]

Mato youre amazing like your channel :P

[@digocr]

Amazing!

[@thenick3216]

I like it when Mato says:"This is how Tal defends the pawn." Of course, Tal ignores the threat by playing a knight sacrifice. Very funny!

[@ndarwi01]

Mato, can u post a gameplay video of yourself. I wonder how u play.

[@MatoJelic]

+Nouhad Darwiche Check the playlists on my channel

[@Modardah]

+MatoJelic Thank you Mato for given us a wonderful chess games

[@AinaweeUAE]

+MatoJelic Mato if you have the game from the final of the competition that you won in Australia, which eventually got you back into chess, can you please post it? Or other games? Would love to see you play more :D

[@oneilg8988]

This one had me holding my head, honestly.

[@moonblink]

OMG I WAS BLOWN AWAY. For some dumb reason, I thought that bishop would attack knight to get out of queen fork.. but instead Tal used the knight as a pin to his advantage! wow. i need to pay more attention.

[@betulaobscura]

Brilliant game!

[@samuelbruyneel]

Tal is something else... :-O

[@peppermints666]

This is one of the most beautiful tal games ever =)

[@rafasadlak2481]

in 5:55 why black Queen dont take bishop?

[@thibaudrobert]

+Rafał Sadlak I have the same question. I can't see a good continuation for white.

[@thibaudrobert]

+Thibaud Robert In fact same thing, Qxe6 and the chessmate is the same

[@mohammedriaz7667]

sensational play by Tal, Tal must be still enjoying this game

[@heinerbarros6572]

When Tal sacrifice the queen, i think: "it's not a good idea take that queen".. What a talent had Tal!

[@ekibosna]

amazing, just amazing

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

What a great finish!

[@asumelisadesteli5520]

this is the best chess game I have ever seen

[@alanastein1471]

Extraordinary game!!

[@StewartMiles1]

Insane. Holy smokes!

[@pinkzeppelin1982]

Hello, sir.. If it poses no big deal, please record at a higher sound level so I may hear you better (I am maxed out). Some of your videos are louder and so much easier to hear. I really enjoy your vids, thank you very kindly!

[@liveslowlivesimple]

i saw the initial knight sacrifice. but the final queen sac was absolutely brilliant

[@johncharles2513]

hi, this is john, SIGNATURE MOVES BY TAL, GREAT MATO

[@englishguy9680]

Amazing

[@motoali5853]

TAL is the best .. i can't believe his moves .. it's something from another dimension ..

[@khanhsp]

5:47, if Black goes Qxc4, isn't Tal just losing?

[@khanhsp]

Oh Qxe6+ followed by Rf8+ is close to mate

[@pierforce12]

I think, after Qc4 by black, white crashes through by first Bxe6+ followed by Qxe6+, then Rxa8 and back rank problem will happen!

[@khanhsp]

If White goes Qxc4, Black cannot Bxe6+ (he lost the Bishop ==')

[@pierforce12]

Absolutely Right! my mistake, definitely Qxc4 losing for black, but I was thinking if after 21. Qe5 black goes Qb4 to maintain the diagonal, then is forced mate: 22. Bxe6+ Bxe6 23. Qxe6+ Kh8 24. Rxa8 Rxa8 25. Pe8Q+ Rxe8 26. Qxe8+ Qf8 27. Qf8#

[@akashdtx]

White(w) and Black(b): bQxc4 - wQxe6+ - bQxe6 - wRf8+ - bRxf8 - wexf8=Q#.

[@laludasmara4171]

4.17' Chandler should not take Tal's queen but bishop that pin the knight intead

[@eamonbiz]

Lalu Dasmara Tal would’ve lost the game with this move

[@realname6586]

Thanks Mato. Tal was awesome.

[@FelipeNovaesRocha]

Tha game should call "The Queen teleportation"

[@briddhiman1729]

Wha...?? Whoa...?? Wow. No wonder it takes great chess engines to refute Tal's sacrifices and sometimes even they fall short.

[@ketandhodia5942]

Brilliant

[@altonbrek]

Tal was not just an excellent chess player - he was an assassin!

[@gratitude62]

play like this gives me the image of breaking that one thread, one suture and the entire garment unravels.....

[@legochickenguy4938]

2:34 really shows how tal defends things

[@shigshug8581]

There was 3 shocking moves but the last one, queen sacrifice, was the most shocking of all......if someone played that move against me I would faint.

[@joakobolso18]

AWESOME

[@locutusdborg126]

What a brilliant game.

[@LvJols]

Qué movimientos tan geniales hacía el Gran Tal

[@keykocandraalvaro3569]

beautiful and amazing chess game.

[@azwadrahman4796]

Jaw dropping genius.

[@2ChristSublimity]

After Qe4 why not black reply with Qc4? I’m sure I’m missing something here…

[@aleksjagger9770]

Brilliant attack 👌

[@thenick3216]

"This is how Tal defends the pawn, plays Nxf7, sacrificing the knight! HaHaHa...How funny! Tal was a genius!

[@niketbhagwath6875]

This is probably the best game ever

[@zoramsanga5431]

Why Chandler exchange Queen instead of QxBc4?

[@Slaughterdaemon]

Brilliant game.

[@deoliveiragilson]

great!

[@roddychristodoulou9111]

Mind blown again by tal,I think I need a cup of tea after that.

[@andreicux]

Brilliant! Hard to guess Tal's moves

[@stevenjohnston2263]

Hahaha. Poor fellow. Tal. What can be said? Bloody genius.

[@harry3003]

Tal destroys everything :)

[@jochenvanaelten16]

Tal was like a clairvoyant on the chess board !!

[@predpalina]

I think Tal's line of thinking is better than our modern computer chess programs!

[@milosmihajlovic1867]

I had a good laugh, I have to admit, this was more than chess magic, that his health served him and that he didn't live a bohemian life, he was the greatest ever (for me he was), some analysts say he had a lot of mistakes,,, it's easy to be general after the victory" but they did not foresee that he simultaneously attacks on the chessboard and the opponent's head, who is touched by Tal's web can only become entangled in an attempt to untangle.
