Tal was at another level and i never get bored watching his brilliance

[@dosepares9626]

when it is Mato's voice starts the narration, i normally hit the like button....certified strategically entertaing..Mato at his Best......greetings! from swamp of peace.....

[@cardogkitchen4106]

Tal is always one move away from losing but always manages to complicate the game and intimidate his opponents. Spectacular

[@ronginzler6600]

The genius of Tal is not his sacrifices, but how he creates positions where his sacrifices work.

[@MukhtarSiddiq]

Yeap.. Agreed bro. That's how Tal always thinking. or should i say ? Planning, He attacking from nowhere ?! My God....

[@Wwcnwo3n498cn]

So that's why my sacrifices never work...

[@hantz8771]

@Orion Deshawn pls bot get outta here. Don't scam people

[@markbutler6788]

Tal's games are ridiculously complicated...the harmony of his pieces, even his king...I mean...damn lol

[@TheSapo98]

Mato: 'That brilliant queen sacrifice.' Me: Oh my God, he isn't seriously going to take that pawn on g6 why can't I see that it's a good move I must be worse at chess then I even thought!' Mato: 'Neither can I, there is no queen sacrifice.' Me: 'Dammit, I keep falling for those jokes!'

[@woobmonkey]

Sander Pouliart Never trust a person who looks so incredibly happy. XD

[@alexst.k8853]

Haha

[@CrimsonReaper7777]

FINALLY, a Tal game. I'm so happy :D

[@jamesarthur4660]

tal would prefer to lose than a draw

[@onuralptoogood6381]

More tal games please mato

[@gervaishennequin]

thank you, Mato I like the way you present the game,

[@dehansfromoz4979]

Another day, another chess game to watch with enjoyment. Thanks for sharing

[@jordan7austintatious]

Hey Mato I'm liking the new intro (nice to see you). Also I don't know how you manage to come up with so many chess jokes but its working so keep it up! Love this channel Cheers Jordan

[@poopydoodoobritches4780]

mato you so charming. great tempo. neva boring. always cleva n precise. mahAlo

[@ibrahimjaleel5900]

Unpredictable I didn’t find the killer move. Thank you for sharing.

[@mikemikemikemike5387]

I always enjoy your videos.

[@Mrius86]

I wonder how many cigarettes Tal smoked during that 40 minutes thinking.

[@ekibosna]

hahaha ;D

[@mikhailchigorin4214]

34. one for each move of the game :)

[@laludasmara4171]

It was only a piece and it was at the last 40th minute because he was busy thinking and forgot his ciggi

[@lowlypeasant]

Mato is the king of youtube.

[@jeffcarty3292]

As usual, Tal simply confused & exhausted his opponent. Stockfish 11 says that at move 27, Black has 3 ways to keep the game equal: Qc6, Qd8, Rg7. Black playing Rd7 was a blunder.

[@hansputin6346]

you look very nice and friendly, Mato! :) thank you for your excellent work.

[@johannesalberyd2002]

love your vids :)

[@altonbrek]

Wow! Tal finds moves from his imagination that is a little out of the reach of most experts.

[@fredackerman2511]

Tal is always so amazing!!

[@betulaobscura]

Nice game!

[@prakashpun5404]

Wa ! so injoyed thanks many

[@JoseKostaRibeiro]

Tal is a brilliant player!!!

[@BentoMontenegro]

Absolutely amazing!! Tal rules!

[@alvinweasel]

I love your commentary Mato. Not only is it instructive but it is entertaining. Where else can you get tutored by Count Dracula and not get bit?

[@sebastianquilt]

Man, what a gentleman.

[@MEME-qe4ze]

it's good to finally place your face with your voice.

[@SubZeroFranklinDad]

nice smile after intro.....well done bro

[@altimate1]

*If anyone predicts tal's killer moves 3 times continuously in three different videos then it's definitely a junior tal in the making.*

[@MrPeto1212]

Fun to watch! :-) But I always liked Paul Keres and his games,such a unique style is hardly ever copied :)

[@haits4909]

Brilliant.

[@Sax.Enthusiast]

Mato! Please make a playlist for Paul Morphy! Can't wait for his games!

[@3sneider304]

amazing

[@jandom9008]

Yup i found the killer move.. my knowledge of how tal played made me realize that move

[@Hei2enberg]

When Tal start doing something strange, it's never a good sign for the opponent.

[@forevercu]

There are some world champions that you think they are genius because they create a piece of art that you never thought of . In this regard there are only 2 players : Alekhine and Tal.. many would argue : what about Fischer , Kasparov , etc . I would say , they study hard , calculate hard , use logical moves , press gradually then hard , but they don’t have that taste of genius.

[@exoplanet11]

Tal's style of play can be very unpredictable when he does not sacrifice his queen.

[@uncledez8]

Mato I need some Muzichuck video please. Mariya or Anna Muzichuck. Thanks again for uploading this wonderful videos.

[@robertr.hasspacher7731]

I guessed the "bishop reposition" early on, not seeing any way that Portisch could overcome it. I guessed bishop takes pawn for the killer move, so not quite! TAL! so amazing, and according to Mato's videos, he always wins! : D haha

[@dbajubin]

Tal is indeed the genius. Unpredictable.

[@nazikalala]

Amazing how Tal keeps black queen in spectator mode

[@ght3k7]

Mato has changed his accent or what. Now he is speaking like Cheryl Col in The X Factore :D

[@gajendrenmaal2173]

we finally see the face behind... pause the video to find the killa MOOOOOVE!

[@jangebala8410]

u have to enjoy the pause between Mato saying "enyoj" and after 1 s he smiles xD

[@acacar89le91]

This game was played in (former) Yugoslavia.

[@pneumatic00]

There is no outsmarting Tal.

[@dospooks]

at move 28, Tal could also have played Ne5 forking the rooks, was there a flaw in this line for white?

[@simpleman755]

Tal's son will be soo proud....

[@DrRobotFish]

Tal is a freaking monster

[@kelvint5894]

Tail is the ultimate Immortal!

[@BenMcKenn]

Mato, how do we pronounce your last name?

[@cameronsmith632]

At move 28 when Tal played rook takes pawn on E6, why was knight to E5, forking the two rooks, not played?

[@gdsandkes]

because one of the rooks could move to check Tals King and then the other rook could also move out of danger.

[@Xgr33nlightX]

4:46 isnt CM is it? Knight H7?

[@Ronbo710]

I never checkmate with a Queen if I can use a lesser piece. More elegant :) .

[@MEME-qe4ze]

i need to keep studying tal. he seems to take opponents into a deep dark forest.

[@aaryjan]

I think the situation from minute 5:33 onwards would be winning! After 5:43 white would the next move his white Bishop to f5 and I am kind of thinking that black has no counter moves against the obvious checkmate that comes next when white places his Queen on h7

[@gopichand2102]

plz share Tal's King's Indian Defence games

[@Erikawby]

Mato, you're so adorable

[@suhailnkhan2055]

Why is it a draw at 5:38 ?

[@a.3leamy270]

why not Ne5 forking both rooks instead of sac?

[@d4slaimless]

And where is or what is Bled?

[@Bracket.]

NATO, please explain why position on 4:46 is mate ? He can play with knight there !

[@Tommy-and-Ray]

I don't understand why black didn't play bish up to F1 at 6:26... it was deadly, can smone explain please!!

[@MrWarbeast97]

Then queen exchange

[@sidkihamza8244]

best quote ever : white maake a move and black resiiign (kilaaah moove )

[@Potrice1337]

Half an hour for a move? Wow...

[@wezsideu6190]

i'd love a torre vs tal if there is one😅

[@babajani3569]

8:50 what about Knight e4 fork

[@rcbrannon57]

where is solvania?

[@franckferrante6614]

When Tal plays, i wonder where and when he''s gonna sacrifice !

[@shahabshaikh9307]

He wasn't normal human for sure

[@slavicamastilovic8771]

haha you fooled me with queen sacrifice, but i saw rook sacrifice :D

[@31Sparrow]

8:53, why not knight to e5?

[@zeushitoquijano8614]

Tal has always been my fave,the last of the romantics?

[@ishanjoshi1350]

Mato, why have you stopped putting interesting video titles ? Nowadays you just put "This guy vs this guy [place][year]" There should be some significance for you to comment on that exact game and not any other. Let that be known in the titles like it used to be.

[@ahmsalloum85]

minute 9:42 why queen did nit capture on e6 ?

[@ahmsalloum85]

I found the answer :D ... g5 for the knight will win the queen

[@FYGOKENTROSS]

Why didn't Tal do the "Knight to G5" move, when he had the chance, and, instead, captured the Rook with his Bishop? Had he predicted that he will need the Knight to give checkmate?

[@ikwilkijkenverdomme]

So why at 8:55 not knight to e5 forking both rooks?

[@Enigmaprince]

ikwilkijkenverdomme when u found out one day - you will be moving couple of ranks up on the level of chess ;-)

[@nahedhALOTAIBI]

I didn’t find the kilrr move 😢😂

[@MrAmalsam]

What would be wrong with knight to e5?

[@andrarias]

Alexander Craig White ends up with a bishop, a rook and 5 pawns against a queen and five pawns. 28. Ne5 Rd2 29. Nxg6 Qc6 30. Kg1 Bxf2+ 31. Qxf2 Rxf2 32. Kxf2 Qc5+ 33. Kg3 Kxg6...

[@MrAmalsam]

a arias I see, so the knight is protecting both d2 and g1 squares. How about bishop d3 instead. This would block the rook from getting to d2 and pin the pawn to the other rook.

[@locutusdborg126]

Tal took first blood and Portisch Bled.

[@killersalutvale]

deviginized

[@jeffhardyso]

Also nxf7 is mate too

[@hosseinmoradi8490]

Please MORE TAL game please

[@xxint3rnalxx]

Knight to g7 is also check mate

[@vhperches]

Queen sacrifice LOL

[@idanazariajj]

at the critical position , when he sacrefise the rock. why black didnt cupture with the queen?

[@matthewbolan8154]

bishop takes

[@altimate1]

Portish 👌

[@mahmoudhachem4034]

Mato plz more wei yi videos

[@georgebush7223]

Mato for Fide presidency. Haha,neither do I !!!!

[@adityaagarwal2019]

why not queen to 'C-7'' instead of resign?

[@andrasmester6447]

because then queen g6, king h8, knight f7 gg

[@tusharsharma1363]

8:27 Isn't this a blunder? Cause White Ne5 simply fork both rooks Obviously game didnt go in this variation but still am sure engine will say this inaccuracy if not a blunder

[@harshpatwardhan7624]

Its too difficult to find the killer move.

[@RogerDavidFloyd]

Why not Qxe6 at 9:45? Is it a blunder? Then black is a rook up and obviously winning.

[@RogerDavidFloyd]

RogerDavidFloyd oh, i see fork upcoming

[@dospooks]

Oh, I see now, the game moves were better, would lead to a clean rook up, not just winning exchange

[@BlameLatency]

9:42 Why doesnt black queen take bishop?

[@jeroenman]

BlameLatency look again, there's a fork with the knight

[@melhijutt6963]

Tal is a beast, but Mato is bigger...
