Oct-05-05 | | rjsolcruz: this can be compared to a first round knock-out in boxing. tal hardly worked a sweat. |

Oct-29-05 | | Whitehat1963: What's the finish here? |
|
Oct-29-05 | | ughaibu: If he takes the rook Qe6 mates. |
|
Oct-29-05 | | Whitehat1963: <ughaibu> Please excuse my chess blindness, but I don't see it. Is it just another couple of moves or more involved? |
|
Oct-29-05 | | ughaibu: If black replies Kf8 then Qe7, Nf6 and Qh7. If black doesn't reply Kf8 then Qf6 and Ne7. |

|
Jul-03-11 | | DrMAL: <WannaBe:> I think <tarry knight> said something about being an overrated club player LOL. Tal steadily builds up advantage, starts a great combination and his opponent collapses under pressure. Exemplary game! |
|
Jul-03-11 | | swr: As far as I can tell there is no mate. I think White simply ends up a piece ahead after 28. Qe6+ where any King move loses the rook, e.g.: 28...Kf8 29. Qe7+
28...Kg7 29. Qf6+
28...Kh8 29. Qf6+ |
|
Jul-03-11 | | DrMAL: After 27.Rxf5 the only way to avoid forced mate is 27...Qd1+ 28.Kh2 Qxd5 29.Qxd5+ Rxd5 30.Rxd5 where, yes, black is "only" down a rook so far... |

Dec-31-14 | | eyalbd: Nice tactics after 25..♖e8 (instead of ♕a4). The queen can't move due to a back rank mate. The only way to avoid mate or material loss is 26. ♖xg6+! hxg6 27. ♘f6+ ♔g7 28. ♘xd7+ ♖xe5 29. ♘xe5 and white is a pawn up in a N vs N endgame. |

Jun-04-16 | | JohnBoy: <tarry blight>'s <A club player could see RxF5.> is correct. What he misses is that the game as a whole is beautiful. Tal set up the final nail-in-the-coffin by playing like the god he was. |

Jun-04-16 | | RookFile: I think 17. c5 was a neat idea, weakening e5 |
