Mar-24-18 | | morfishine: According to Burgess, this was a training game between Tal and his trainer Aleksandrs Koblenz (who worked directly with Tal from 1955 - 1979) In any case, the only way this lame game title has the slightest chance of being effective is if Tal was playing Ernest Borgnine conclusion: another sad word-play torpedoed and sunk ***** |

 | | thegoodanarchist: After about 20 moves, I was disappointed that Tal had only sacrificed a pawn. After that, the game got VERY entertaining! |

Mar-24-18 | | morfishine: <tpstar> This link only proves that whoever decides the best "pun" doesn't even know what a pun truly is This game title is best removed/erased so we can stop misleading humanity with falsehoods conclusion: another sad word-play torpedoed and sunk ***** |

Mar-24-18 | | catlover: There were various pieces floating en prise, starting with move 25. Maybe that accounts for the "navy" in the pun. |

<Next they visited Pompano Beach, Florida where looters and rioters were gathering outside the chessgames.com home office to protest their use of original GOTD titles from the Best Games of 2015 contest. They saw JohnBoy (“dumb pun”) shintaro go (“bad pun”) piltdown man (“weak pun”) psmith (“offensive”) knighttoefour (“cringe-inducing”) KID Slayer (“really inappropriate pun”) nalinw (“very poor taste”) sleepyirv (“incredibly poor taste”) & thegoodanarchist (“scraping the bottom of the barrel for ‘puns’”). goodevans shouted, “A big boo on two counts for whoever submitted this as GOTD this time round. Just who are the CHUMPS that are proposing games to be GOTD so soon after they’ve already been GOTD? Whoever you are, can you PLEASE STOP doing it!!!!” SugarDom added, “Of course if it’s Tpstar pun, we can’t do anything. He’s like a powerful warlock around here. My greatest regret is loving that unworthy sh%thead Wesley So. At least my place in chess history is secure.” Finally group leader morfishine addressed the angry mass: “Political references have no position in chess – end of conversation. As selfish greedy freebie-loving Millennial Grubers, we demand to be entertained every second, otherwise we use social media to throw feces at our enemies.” Suddenly Zeus came down from Mount Olympus to confront them: “In 13 years, they have presented over 4,000 GOTD titles. You have ten seconds to propose a new GOTD title idea that has not been used already, otherwise I shall develop a site enhancement called Spank the Booty where you are immediately punished for insulting other posters’ work product.” The crowd became instantly quiet as they realized they had neither the creativity nor the originality to invent any new GOTD idea that has not been used in 4,000 titles over 13 years, so they scattered at once. Except next time they visited the site and blindly criticized the GOTD title (without suggesting a new alternative), they received a big spank in the booty. Hard. We’re talking bare hand on bare booty action here. These looters and rioters became despondent: “Oh woe is us! If only we did not insult other posters’ work product, we wouldn’t be spanked in the booty. Hard. We’re talking bare hand on bare booty action here.” Zeus said, “Wow, this Spank the Booty feature is working great. I’ll make it a part of the next Holiday Present Hunt for anyone who complains about a free contest.”> Kenneth S Rogoff (kibitz #204268) Spank the Booty! |

May-19-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: Couldn't black have tried 36 ...Ke7 ? |

If nothing else, after 36...Ke7 37. Qxg8 wins back the piece while keeping strong threats on Black's king. What did you have in mind for Black? |

 | | HeMateMe: I tried to follow all the combinative activity here but my brain shut down, over loaded. Has anyone else ever won a game with his Queen trapped in the corner for 15 moves? to have worked this out OTB seems impossible. I wonder if the 'bots found a defense for black? Not all Tal sacrifices were sound... |

Aug-13-20 | | Sally Simpson: ***
Imagine deciding to do a book of Tal's best games in 1961 (that is 1961 BC - Before Computers - or updated, Before Corona). This is what Peter Clarke decided to do in 1961 and it is a very good book. This game is not included, though Kolenz (sic) as Tals' coach since 1949 gets a mention or two and his problem how to quieten Tal's style without curbing his imagination. I'm thinking perhaps Peter tucked the score of this game somewhere he could not find it. He does an excellent job of noting up the Tal games but this one would have driven him to the brink of insanity. Soltis in his 1990 book skips this game as well. (too hot to handle.) It is in Tal's 'Life and Games' but only lightly noted. Maybe best left that way, you do not analyse this type of game too deeply, just say 'it's Tal'. *** |
|
Sep-14-20 | | Viking707: What is interesting is that with move 21 Tal has a N captured in exchange for a pawn, and yet he eschews this advantage to check the K, and create numerous complications. To Tal winning wasn't as important as winning spectacularly. |
|
Sep-14-20 | | carpovius: Just amazing! |
|
Sep-14-20 | | dhotts: This game is certainly exciting, but that's because there were so many major mistakes starting with 20.Bf4, when 20.Qh2 wins a piece for 2 pawns and the Black king is under major attack....Then there is 25.Bxb5? Black should simply take 25...axb5, why did Black move 25...Rf7?...From here on out there are major misses by both sides...It's almost like a real life battle where guns and cannons are blazing, causing confusion and chaos, very exciting! |
