Featured is the game between Bobby Fischer and Mikhail Tal from the 1959 Bled-Zagreb-Belgrade Candidates Tournament. The key battleground square out of this Sicilian Najdorf game between two chess legends revolves around the d5 square. The position before Fischer’s 10th move is already time sensitive with the top engine suggesting that Fischer should increase the pressure on e6 immediately with f5. Tal was quick to launch his b-pawn to undermine Fischer’s queen knight and its control of d5. By move 13, Tal had already won the battle for d5 and the plan of progress from there would be to simply break with the liberating and thematic d5 push. This game between Fischer and Tal acts as an excellent demonstration of how quickly one’s position can collapse when control of the center has been lost.
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
