Daniel King - The best Chess content creator, chess coach, author of numerous chess books, courses and DVDs and now film star!! Just wow! And the analysis of classic games is top notch and entertaining as always!

[@davidwillacy4796]

Yeah, he may be a hippy but he’s still pretty damn good. Cheers

[@jozefserf2024]

Many have covered this historic game, but none as well as this.

[@ДенисЮденков-ь5ж]

Great game! More historic games please!!)

[@identitycafe76]

Hands down you are the best teacher of chess Daniel. The use of language ( 'the bishop biting against rock') , the passion that you infuse in your commentary is absolutely infectious. My most favourite KZbin channel. Respect, and hats off.

[@michaelf8221]

This game reminds me of the Mishra - Ivanchuk game you just posted about as well. Except that time the extra piece wasn't enough to defend!

[@christophflock1921]

Mr King you are so humble and competent. Vielen Dank mein Freund! :)

[@Thepuritan1]

Only just discovered the channel. Really enjoyed the game and your analysis. Will be returning, thanks Daniel!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Welcome!

[@dimitarbushkalov2380]

Amazing video. Thanks Mr King.

[@epicchess2021]

Great game thanks

[@LateCloser]

Interesting game, that I had not seen. Can't wait for the animation. Thanks.

[@oacaparov]

Tal said after the game he smiles when Fischer wrote the Tad1 movement before making it, Tal knew this movement was the strongest move but he smiles, stood-up and started walking without worries. This fact confused Bobby and he regret and played Dc6+?, and after that Fischer Lost the game.

[@pascalpays-bas6557]

I can not wait! I am curious!!! 😉

[@zagozago9893]

I remember reading about this game in Edward Lasker's ''Chess. The Complete Self Tutor''. A great game.

[@roqsteady5290]

Great book too!

[@DuffmanChess]

I love this variation for White. It isn't seen too often anymore so it works as a great surprise weapon. There are so many ways for Black to go wrong and fall apart on the e6 square. I was inspired to play this variation from an IM Andras Toth video, and played this beautiful classical game earlier this year. My game differs from the game in the video, as I played 8.Bg5 rather than 8.f4. [Event "Northumbria Masters Minor"] [Date "27/08/23"] [Round "7"] [White "Ryan Duff"] [Black "Sergey Pereslavtsev"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "1606"] [BlackElo "1611"] [TimeControl "90+30"] [UTCDate "2023.11.19"] 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bc4 e6 7. Bb3 b5 8. Bg5 Be7 9. Qf3 Qc7 10. O-O-O O-O 11. e5 Bb7 12. exf6 Bxf3 13. fxe7 Bxd1 14. Nxe6 Qxe7 15. Bxe7 Re8 16. Nc7 Rxe7 17.

Well played!

@@PowerPlayChess Thank You!

[@davidfranklin5426]

I seem to remember an anecdote about this game. Fischer was planning to play 22 Rae1 when he saw Tal laughing and joking with Petrosian away from the board. Bobby figured the obvious Rae1 must not be winning if Tal was so carefree, so he switched to the inferior Qc6+. But it was all a bluff by Tal, who staged the merry conversation because he thought he was lost.

[@huddunlap3999]

I like the story where Tal signed Fischer's name on the scoresheet saying he had beaten him so often he had the right.

[@gooddognigel9992]

I liked Tals remark on the American maverick. “Fischer is the greatest genius to descend from the chessic heavens.” - Mikhail Tal

[@robertmacias7920]

I've seen this one so many times, yet there's always something new to see in it. An epic clash between the youngsters. What was the name of the film, again?

[@BrennenChua]

I wonder if this is the same game referred to in Mishra v Ivanchuk?

[@PowerPlayChess]

Correct!

[@rasimofeliya421]

❤❤❤

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

That was a great analysis of a brilliant game. In Norwegian there is a word dumdristig, really two words put together dum, with the same meaning as the English homophone and dristig meaning boils, it means acting bravely with great risk whose outfall is unknown. Perfect word for this game. Thanks Daniel.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

@@tvens1 I could have used that word, but the Norwegian word seemed perfect.

[@RafaelSang-tq8ur]

Great analysis, but wrong picture. Fischer at the time was still a teen and did not wear stylish suits yet. 😅 That was a 4-0 score that Tal inflicted to Fischer.

[@kojiattwood]

it really was a startling transformation, from cargo sweaters to bespoke suits, haha.

[@jonathanbush6197]

Tal said "You must understand. Tal was still Tal, but Fischer was not yet Fischer."

[@hylen26]

Is this the game where Tal pretended to play the Caro-Kann but then went with the Sicilian? Someone should link to that if so.

[@AlonsoRules]

Fischer qualified for the Candidates at 16 years old, that's crazy!!

[@easymoney1226]

15:49 Rc6 is also a funny way to win 😀 against every move you play b1Q and Bc3+ and you win the rook on b1 in the end

[@nilsp9426]

16:36 "white is a whole rook down" - looks at black's pieces I am not so sure about that in practice...

[@andrewhaldenby4949]

Daniel thank you! Would you speculate on Tal’s style of play - was there an element of bluff, or all calculation?

[@PowerPlayChess]

I don’t think bluff. That wasn’t his style. Just a daring way to play backed up by excellent calculation.

[@pardhukolli2869]

There is no great player like a tal❤❤❤❤😂😢😮😅

[@ojas3464]

👍How many games were originally scheduled for this match? I think there were 2 Interzonals and after that I don't know the number of scheduled games for subsequent Candidates Matches, thanks☺

[@italgong]

RE7 - vertical castling?

she was last in ah hallway that we saw

[@kevinwinter4514]

Tal took liberties in this game !

[@user-ts2co4ov5h]

Tal had lots of wins in the Endgame

[@hylen26]

Fischer was sixteen. Let's see Firouzja do that.

[@vjekoslavmatanovic8351]

Many have covered this historic game, but none as boring and confusing as this.

[@secretmoderaceplayer]

you might be bored, but if you were confused you are not gonna make it dawg

[@Sevenigma777]

I think if Bobby played Re1 first before Bd6 and exchanged rooks he would have won

[@whatastud1000]

At least spell his name right. It's Mikhail, not Mihail

[@PowerPlayChess]

The Cyrillic 'x' can be transliterated to 'kh' or 'h' depending on the language. My software chose to generate 'h' from the Russian (which might well tell us something about who put together the database). In the video title I used the spelling 'Mikhail' - as is common in the Anglo-Saxon world. I plead guilty to inconsistency, but not to ignorance.
