No sooner did Mikhail Botvinnik regain his title, the chess world became entranced by charismatic young Latvian named Mikhail Tal. Tal won the 1958 interzonal tournament at Portoroz, then helped the Soviet Union to retain the Chess Olympiad; before going on to win the 1959 Candidates Tournament with 20 out of 28 points--a point and a half ahead of second place Paul Keres.
Tal often sacrificed material in search for the initiative in chess. With such intuitive sacrifices, he created vast complications, and many masters found it impossible to solve all the problems he created over the board, though deeper post-game analysis found flaws in some of his conceptions. Although this playing style was scorned by ex-World Champion Vasily Smyslov as nothing more than "tricks", Tal convincingly beat every notable grandmaster with his trademark aggression.

i once watched a game for Mikhail tal when his opponent made fun of him that he can't sacrifice even a pawn, well Tal smiled and agreed and maybe i should mention that in that very simple game Tal sacrificed twelve pawns, three horses , one chariot, half a dozen of light dark blue pink bishops. Tal was sacrificing right left and center up the board and under the board he even sacrificed his king twice .then when Tal was running out of pieces Tal started sacrificing his opponent pieces. after a while Tal was complaining to the tournament organizers why can't he sacrifice his chair ,his left shoe and the bottle of whiskey he ended up sacrificing two fingers from his right hand just to push the opponent king to the corner, he was trying to negotiate with one of the spectators about how much mony he would pay him to sacrifice him on the board . the opponent still in shock until now he is in a mental care hospital just saying two word: Tal sacrifice Tal sacrifice sacrifice Tal ... for Tal it was just another day in the office and life went on xD #Tal

A small story of a Proud Legend Once upon a time..... A kid was 12 years old and Kholmov was a Latvian champion. The game ended. And few years later Kholmov declared I would have resigned earlier if I knew I was playing with a future world champion. He was never depended on his Queen nor behind his opponent's Queen. He sacrifices all his pieces just to catch hold of his opponent's King alive. He is playing black, already down with 5 pieces and 3 pawns. But his army has huge advantage that, his master is a Legend. The king will be safe until he is in the hands of Creative Genius. He simply does not play like any other great players, but still wins the game daringly. Because He is.... He is.....? He is Tal ! And who is Tal ? I think he needs no introduction. If Chess is a religion then Tal is God. Thank you very much Tal for such a great tactics, daring and notorious combinatorial style of playing and entertaining the Chess world. Please incarnate to hit the floor again. #Tal

[@powerbarz]

[@EmperorThePro]

Did he actually say that? Feels like something he would say the crazy bastard. Getting goosebumps already

[@mozisi]

TAL’s fundamenTAL approach towards experimenTAL sacrifices have often proved to be instrumenTAL in his ascent as a transcendenTAL force in chess history, quite often proving to be detrimenTAL to many a morTAL who faced him as an opponent. AnecdoTAL evidence only shows him as a monumenTAL force in the “menTAL war” on the board, where his victories have been bruTAL and often faTAL in terms of the nature of his game, thereby elevating him to a pedesTAL on which he is still worshipped as an immorTAL.

[@matthewgoetter3127]

Though many Americans like to think Fischer the greatest of all time, I have always found Tal's style to be the most enjoyable to watch and learn from. He seemed to play without fear of losing pieces, he seemed to mentally dominate his opponents with this bold approach, and I hear his glare was legendary as well. In my games I never ask, what would an engine do, but what would Tal do? #Tal #WWTD

[@badcornflakes6374]

It's just fascinating to me that Fischer played engine moves before there were engine moves.

[@peterferestv]

You can actually feel Tal's love for chess in each and every sacrifices made on his games. It's like he's a magician trying to impress an audience on each and every move. #Tal

Appreciate your videos as always, and I really enjoy other chess channels like Mato, the respected sage-like Mato, hahaha, and The Chess Professor is very funny to watch, good at explaining things and is very enthusiastic with funny quips, and Gunjan is funny and very insightful too. You also offer something unique and I have not heard the things you say in other videos, and I'm very glad for that. The pausing before his big move was needed and I liked your thoughts on it. It is good for us to try and put ourselves in Botvinik's (probably very sweaty at the time) shoes. I also like hearing that kinda stuff like the crowd cheered watching outside cus they couldn't get in. Helps one appreciate how loved and theatrical Tal was. ;) It was as if Tal was an actor and the chessboard his stage. Tchaikovsky would be proud. If he was alive today, he might be inspired enough to make a ballet in Tal's honor, entitled: The Tal Lake. ;) (Alternate titles could include: "Tal Goes Crazy." "Tal Goes to Town." "Tal Checks the King and Mates the Queen." "A Thousand and One Knights with Tal.") And I don't have facebook so I probably couldn't check the results. But to show I watched to the end of the video and that I really appreciate your content, I will put #Tal. =)
