May-24-05 | | like a GM: 24.Nh8!, 29.Ne4!! Who needs knights anyway? Brilliant moves from a player who does whatever Anderssen tells him to do ("Attack, always attack")! |
|
May-24-05 | | Heavy Metal Thunder: Nh8 is creepy! |
|
Dec-06-06 | | sahmattr: If Anderssen saw his game, he would be very jealous of Tal. He was a real chess genious. |
|
Dec-06-06 | | flamboyant: Nh8 came as a shock to me, but when you look closely it is a really logical move, but hard to find OTB (of course if its a puzzle of the day its easier to see, because youre looking for the weird move) |
|
Dec-18-08 | | ChessYouGood: Tal was probably still 16 at the time of this destructive performance. |
|
Dec-03-09 | | kooley782: <flamboyant> That's the point: Tal always looked for the weird move. :) |
|
Jul-30-10 | | whatthefat: This game has made me realize I've been playing far too positionally of late. |
|
Jul-30-10 | | 1. h4: Piket vs Kasparov, 1989 Kasparov's famous 28...Nh1! might have been inspired by Tal's 24.Nh8! in this game. Two very similar motifs. |

Feb-16-24 | | mel gibson: I saw that move within 10 seconds
so I don't consider it difficult.

 | | al wazir: 30. Rxd7+ would also have won. |
|
Feb-16-24 | | Allderdice83: Not often you see a knight go to the corner voluntarily! I'm glad to say I actually got the puzzle. |
|
Feb-16-24 | | TheaN: I missed the text move for a while because it seems so obvious. PxN seems dead lost, but if Black defends the knight White invades with Qh5+ and Re8+ (no move based analysis because phone :>) |

 | | chrisowen: Lug jam rap q its hot Ne4 enough its doh its aog jug abridge dax lit Ne4 buck with :) |
|
Feb-16-24 | | Viennablue: Sure as hell I would have played 30.Rxd7+ without much thinking |
|
Feb-16-24 | | Cellist: Ne4 is the most powerful winning move, but Nh5 or Qh5+ also secure a decisive advantage. |
|
Feb-16-24 | | Ariogermano: Tal the King of sacrifice ! |
|
Feb-16-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The king saw two moves: the sacrifice 29. Ne4, for which B reply: 29... dxe4 30. Rxd7+ Ke8 seems to gain a 'time' necessary to reorder B defense. Ad the 2nd, that I chose is: 29. Qh5+ ("weak players don't resist to give a check, whenever they can...")., because: B would not answer g6 30. Qxh7+ Qg7 31. fxg6+ which takes out our beloved (enemy's) ♕ and forces 29... Kg8 (to protect h7), then 30. Ne4 dxe4 31. Rxd7... seems more strong. However, Tal is genius, let's see what he did. |
|
Feb-16-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Yes, I chose the wrong check... LOL Qc4+best! |

Feb-16-24 | | Messiah: Wasn't difficult! 😎 |
