"You're Here to Win the Match!" | Tal vs Botvinnik 1960. | Game 11

[@michaeltrumph121]

Screw the candidates, we want more Tal games

[@antasena1219]

At the first sight im in love with chess,i already knew when i choose tal as my fav GM (coz the mezmerizing attacking skill) later in this (Tal-Botvinik episode) i realized Tal also the gentleman who love challenge and the man with the principe "i must different from another people" (well the last one just my opinion) ah.... if Mikhail Tal keep alive till at age 76 (like hawking) maybe i can shake his hand and admire him as my role models life,Love u Tal from Indonesia😙😙

[@antasena1219]

And love u too Antonio 😙

[@takatotakasui8307]

I see that Detective Conan reference.

[@sparkplug1018]

Unfortunately The Magician of Riga didn't take very good care of himself, and we lost him in 1992. A real shame, and a great lose to the game.

[@antasena1219]

sparkplug1018 yea.... i know,i was shock when im read his autobioghrapy when it shows he died at age 55😢

[@sparkplug1018]

Micky Mantle said "If id known id live this long, id have taken better care of myself" I think Tal probably had similar thoughts. But The Magician from Riga left us many wonderful games to learn from, his style wasn't always precise, and was often complicated, but he attacked like no other. And much like Fischer must have been an incredible opponent to face over the board. Personally one of my favorite Tal games is the Drowning Hippo, should check it out if you haven't seen it already.

I's a weird move , not because it's a weird move , but .... Are you sure ? ha ha ha ha

[@lordmatthewanunnahybrid1356]

What a great series. I love the Capablanca series but there is something brave and fearless how Tal consistently forces more and more complications and consistently comes out ahead. That rook e5 was a brilliant barricade, it made the Queen into a lost puppy dog and stifled any momentum Botvinnik had. Another masterpiece.

[@immort4730]

Me: That move looks good. Agadmator: And obviously you can’t play that move because it allows mate on 57 moves. Me: Yeah... bad move.

[@KenMayala]

Watched too many of talsl's games, I tried to analyze his moves, but came up with nothing, unpredictable and fearless... Even if you think tal made a mistake, later on, it becomes an opening to a greater attack... Amazingly beautiful games by Tal, I learned a lot from this genius 👍👍 I know I will miserably lose too many games against Tal, but still, playing against him would have made me a better player... Thank you bro for the videos, they are not only entertaining, but also educational

[@richardfeynman5560]

Pure magic from the magician! Thanks to agad for uploading this game!

[@Isthatthegrimreaper170]

Tal and Ivanchuk have the most interesting games It's a shame they never olayed eachother in their primes

[@lordesca4364]

I like ivanchuk's play

[@manojbala6870]

Wonderful game. Botvinnik finds an engine move towards the end. The knight manoeuvre idea for the defence is amazing

[@nachiketagrawal5154]

#suggestion You may like to add the engine evaluation bar thing (the vertical bar with black and white colors signifying which side is better and by how much ) This is useful for viewers to identify small mistakes easily

this might be the longest analyzing video uploaded by u. i am always enjoying ur chess analysis. thank you agadmator :)

[@Likwidl]

Very rarely would a GM play into a lost position to only 1 move away from mate. I think botvinic did it on purpose to spite tal

[@JSamad]

Not really lol he can still check Tal's king into oblivion and force him to hide between the kingside pawns, but it's a lost endgame anyway and Botvinnik knows that Tal will convert it.

[@josefbake9492]

This is the best and perfect example of his quote "You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5 and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.

[@bartvandenberg977]

Really nice video. followed all the matches. Thanks for this Agadmator. You are the best! Keep them comming

[@Ab0samra]

Tal doesn’t want to exchange queen - tal loves giving them away

[@michaelmendillo7513]

There is nothing better than watching Tal games then playing against the computer and sacrificing pieces like a mad .man and seeing the outcome,,,😂😂😂

[@Hellnawwh]

I will save this video for dinner 😂

[@miguelkkkk2458]

This game is similar to the last one of Karpov - Kasparov in Sevilla Match. The tactical player that changes the match strategy against the solid positonal player, playing a positonal opening with a slow pieces development. And striking the board with the tactical struck in the precise moment.

[@stephen0793]

Classic game by the master. Its weird to see Tal not play e4, and Botvinnik in the King's Indian. But I guess Tal was better out of his comfort zone than Botvinnik was- the most versatile player won

[@gregorytrane7828]

Tal seem to dominate this game. Great plays right from the beginning development.

[@staliannn]

after Qa5 by white, Rc7 is no option cause of c5 (min 6:44) ... nevertheless, i love your channel :)

[@richarddeese1991]

Thanks! Question: when was Botvinnik *_not_* in severe time trouble? This seems to me to be a main theme in this match. Although Botvinnik was considered the better preparer, Tal clearly did his homework. And although Botvinnik was considered the better endgame player, Tal was no slouch here either. Tal was able to play both quickly enough and precisely enough that Botvinnik seems to have been in time trouble in most of these games at the 40 move mark. In the end, it seems this was a match where a younger player with slightly newer, better, more flexible ideas beat an older champion just past his prime, who had one too many idiosyncrasies. Thanks again. Rikki Tikki.

Mikhail Tal is my favorite chess player. His style of play🔥🔥 new to the channel

[@AnastasisGrammenos]

One of the main reasons I love watching Tal's games is because he plays just like the way I play. Creating complications and trying to come on top. Granted I rarly do come on top, I still enjoy that 1 minute (on 5m blitz games) my opponent spends to find what his next move will be after I do something Tal like. Although I lack the intellect, the skills and the knowledge to even compare with Tal, seeing him play this moves just makes something in me go 'WOW'.

[@DrJens-pn5qk]

After the hypothetic 14. ... Nc7 you give the "interesting line" starting with 15. Q:a7 but 15. c5 would end the game immediately.

[@erisdeimos9682]

I think theres plenty of options for counter play that threatens whites queen that it's not really a major concern

[@ChristianCaurla]

Man, best videos around!! But don't spoil the ending of the match at the beginning of the video please :)

[@cyrilkaufman6698]

[@markg9401]

I wonder if any chess engine would actually consider any of Tal's sacrifices. It's just maddening & exasperating.

[@RayVitoles]

6:39,at Nc7 doesnt white win immediately with c5?

[@gokulsiriah7941]

@Goat_Te a you are not forced to trade queens after c6.. blacks queen can just back down on the A file

[@RayVitoles]

@Zany_ i think winning a piece and a pawn for no compensation counts as an instant win in world class games

Agreed, that's a great idea, but it would be hard to get such data.
