One of my favorite Tal games is when he was in a winning position against smyslov and Tal resigned so it would be a miniature bc Smyslov wasn’t resigning after Tal sacrificed everything but ended up in a winning endgame.

Fischer said "okay" in 1971 because he didn't want to blow his opening prep against the best Soviets.

@gunnarandersen6570 Год назад

The soviet team had all the best soviets, but playing board 1 meant he played Petrosian instead of Spassky. So yeah, maybe he didn't want to reveal his repertoire against Spassky.

@StopFear Год назад

He wasn’t only good at chess either. If you had ever heard him speak about any subject you just want to keep listening. There were made some long recordings of him speaking to audiences closer to the end of his life. Just such a erudite and entertaining man.

@TalEl59 Год назад

@@StopFear Yes, I can tell he was gifted in communication from his books. They were always well-written and entertaining. He was very talented.

@skakdosmer Год назад

Why do people like to compare chess with football? They're worlds apart! And Maradona was a very immodest person, and he cheated, playing with his hands. I've no respect for him.

@TalEl59 Год назад

@@skakdosmer Football is like mobile chess. They're not worlds apart as you think. The comparison between Tal and Maradona was based on the similar expressions of their talent in their respective sport, not their morality. Tal was a genius of attacking chess who possessed flair and had a penchant for producing fantastic tactical combinations. Maradona was also a genius of attacking football and his magical dribbling, deft touches and telepathic accurate passing produced many moments of fantasy and brilliance.

Tal didn't die in his early fifties - he was 56. And he didn't look like he was in his eighties - he looked like he was between 90 and skindead. There's a photo of all the surviving world champions, except Fischer, and Botvinnik was 80 and looking great. Tal look much older. In his later years a fan greeted him in the street, and Tal thanked him. The fan asked what he thanked him for. "For recognising me"!

Funny thing is i was thinking of Queen takes e5 because "it opens up an attacking diagonal for the bishop more or less" or something... But then i saw that the black queen defends the square and was like "no, no fucking way that's gonna be it". And then the guy fucking plays it... Tal was really something else man

@owen429 11 месяцев назад

Funny thing about this is that Carlsen actually has a lower draw rate than Kasparov or Tal, and barely higher than Fischer.

@skakdosmer Год назад

In 1965 Tal won 5.5 - 4.5. However four years later the result was Larsen 5.5 - Tal 2.5. So I although Tal won a few very spectacular games, I think he lost more than he won against my great compatriot.

@ibazulic 9 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, you're incorrect. According to Wikipedia, his overall score against Larsen (who was also an amazing player) was +12-7=18, or 21/37.

This is the type of content that sets Ben’s channel apart from other top chess channels. He has the best chess lectures in my opinion. He is somewhere in between Gotham and Danya and it’s a truly great balance. His personality is perfect for this type of content as well. I have moved between a number of different “favorite” chess channels over the last few years and I am always gravitating back to Ben for these specific types of videos.

@johnshogskins4443 Год назад

This lecture was better than most of his others because he didn't make a bunch hackey "jokes". I think Yasser is better though.

@FlourescentPotato Год назад

Gotham's knowledge isn't good enough, and Danya is often a bit vague when he explains things. Ben is specific and well versed in niche topics which makes him a great lecturer.

@Dencyftw Год назад

[...] No, if you would've played that, then Tal didn't do it. That's, you know, it's a tautology. Any move you say has to be wrong. You have to think of a move you wouldn't play-now, you play like Tal." -Finegold

At 43:25, what does Ben mean by 'suspicous'? Is this another ironic joke or Finegoldism? Or is this a term that refers to something in chess other than possible cheating?

@cooperjudson5807 Год назад

It’s a finegoldism to call his pieces bad. He’s using suspicious to say something along the lines of, “if my opponent has his pieces setup like this, then I should be SUSPICIOUS there is a winning move in this position.”

@Erik_001 Год назад

@amosdraak3536 Год назад

Korchnoi did a much better job at defending against Tal. His score was like 13-4. Petrosian and Tal both got their World Champ titles by beating an aging Botvinnik. Korchnoi came close but missed beating a prime/young Karpov

@amosdraak3536 Год назад

The part about Botvinnik-Tal is probably in between. Tal was sick, sure, but Botvinnik did show great improvement by the second match. He did make basically every game maneuvering, and Tal’s losses weren’t obvious blunders often. Botvinnik just made great opening improvements and indeed kept things from getting too crazy

@VeggieRice Год назад

that's just, like, your opinion man

@amosdraak3536 Год назад

How? It’s literally all facts. I’ve seen an analysis of both the 1960 and 61 matches. Botvinnik played better in the second, regardless of how Tal played. And Karpov in his 20s played more solidly than Botvinnik nearing 50, so it’s all facts.

@crushedscouter9522 Год назад

@@amosdraak3536 lol it's not regardless of how tal played. it's easy to play better when your opponent is diminished and playing worse. those weren't "all facts". you're embarrassing yourself, kid.
