Polugaevsky Explains His Brilliancy Vs Tal! - Best Of The 60s - Polugaevsky vs. Tal, 1969 

This game is mentioned in John Watson's book "Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy". Watson argues that because the pawn sacrifice was prepared Lev had the liberty of playing more creative, than if it were a over-the-board idea, knowing that the whole idea was sound. He backs this up by saying that the subsequent attack is intuitive and that it could not be risked without preparation. Certainly an interesting point of view on home analysis. Edit: the subsequent attack is unintuitive

You are so underrated u deserve more subs

Wow. That home preparation, and in the 60s (😱), is just insane. Fine display. A few questions, please, Mr. C. So is your channel for more or less the next long while going to be doing just top tens? So it’ll be all the way back to 1475?? Also, and more importantly, please- when you mentioned one or more variations where you said it may not be clear if it is lost for Black, how isn’t it clear? Does the engine “not know,” or see you mentioning from a human standpoint....? Thanks. Cheers. 👍👍

A normal move by tal made him Loose this game. Imagine Tal playing in his style!! Then Polu's Theory goes into Darker forests.
