| Feb-22-07 | | thegoodanarchist: should be a game of the day |
|
| Feb-22-07 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: Yes, unbelievable game. e7-rook's immunity is simply overwhelming. |

 | | penarol: Brilliant!
Why 17 b4 ? |
|

 | | perfidious: Not that it has any impact on the game, but the alternate score with 3.Nd2 is correct, according to Tal in Informator 33/192. |
|
| Mar-26-07 | | SBGiffy: I'm guessing 17 b4 because Qxb4 allows Nxg6 else if cxb4 then c5. Then if Bxc5 allows R/Nxf7 else if Qxc5 then Nxg6 or simply Rc1 then to c7 which must be crushing |
|
| Jun-12-08 | | dTal: sbgiffy, i think you're right. Tal's conduct of an attack is, as always, extremely instructive and breathtaking. Sac, sac, sac, mate. |
|
| Jun-12-08 | | dTal: Miles appears to blunder with his "sac" of the h-pawn, but without getting his q side untangled (which leads to the sac) this line looks unplayable! Where did Miles go wrong anybody, somebody who plays the Caro Kann? I never play it as Black and always use the Panov as white. |
|
| Jun-12-08 | | mezzieh: Poorly played by Miles. 12...c5 only helps White as he uses d-file to penetrate with his Rook. Why not 12...Nf8? And wasn't 15...Kxh7 better? White will get his piece back only by exchanging annoying e5 Knight. I see no point at 16...g6. Isn't 16...Nf6 better? Kind of mystery for me. May anybody post some variations or comments on this game taken from players' notes? I'd be delighted. |
|
| Jun-16-08 | | dTal: mezzieh, I also thought 12.. c5 was quite poor, directly leading to the h ♙ loss. However what is the alternative? He has to try and get some space on the Q side, he has no square to even develop his Q. I'm not sure 12 ..♘f8 accomplishes this. After 13. ♘e5 White retains his space advantage, even after an xchg on e5 or g6. |
|
| Jun-16-08 | | pastpawn: <messieh: ... And wasn't 15 ... ♔xh7 better? > I'm not sure, but then 16 ♖xd7 looks strong to me, e.g. 16 ... ♘xd7 17 ♕h5+ ♔g8 18 ♕xf7+ ♔h7 19 ♘h5 and Black's pieces seem to start dropping off the board alarmingly. |
|
| Jun-19-08 | | mezzieh: Well, let's have a look on it again. Hmm... OK, I see some alternatives for Black: 1) 12...a6!? this prepares a pawn sacrifice (13...b5) to deflect White c4 pawn for controlling d5. If this square is going to fall into Black's hands (with ...Nd5 later) Miles will stand quite well, despite minimal material disadvantage. For White, there is no point at exchanging on b5 as both Black Rook and Bishop will spring to life. 2) 12...Nf8. My previous suggestion. It may be followed by 13...Ng6 14...Bf8 15...Qe7 and ...e5 later. Double-edged plan, but if Black can centralize all his forces before going for ...e5, he might at least equalize at the process. 3) 12...b5!? right away. Looks bizarre, but at least it fights for a control over d5. Also, the open lines on Q-side can be used by his Rooks and his Queen gets possibility of jump on a5. 4) 12...Qc8 with not bad idea of redeploying the Bishop to c7 via d8 and later placing King's Rook on d8. It may also boost ...c5 advance if it's going to be played. Any comments on these? I figured it out myself, so some plans may be rubbish, but I believe at least two of them are tempting. |

| | perfidious: This is a Tal attack in the style of his early career. Here's another vote for GOTD/POTD. |
|
| Jan-08-13 | | parisattack: Flashy game! Quick and efficient development can be a wondrous thing... |
|
Feb-15-13
 | | FSR: Not to be confused with <I can c4 Miles>, Igor Ivanov vs Miles, 1982 or <I Can c4 Miles>, Plaskett vs Miles, 1986. |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | PaulLovric: beautiful |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | crazyim5: Greatest Chess Artist our world has ever seen! Tal is such a beautiful mind! |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | sevenseaman: Like a Shakespearean play reaching its dramatic conclusion in a theatre; what a pleasure, to read such a game! |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | morfishine: <FSR> Yes, the pun '<I can c4 Miles>' is applicable since these are related to chess. But today, the pun is weak if not downright lame since there's no relation to chess, unless I'm missing something. Nice song by the 'Who' though |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | RookFile: Black plays the queen to b6 and the bishop to b7. Do they do anything? Yes - they help Tal get excited about the kingside attack. |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | Travis Bickle: What a brilliant genius Tal was!! |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | Balmo: Terrible pun. Poor Miles. One of the first great English GMs and his legacy is to be author of a load of games all named variations of "I can c4 Miles" "I can see for Miles", "Miles ahead". In other news great game. Well played Misha Tal. |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | Abdel Irada: White's 6. Ng3 is a bit passive, so one would expect Black to be able to equalize fairly quickly thereafter. I play only *against* the Caro-Kann, so am not a specialist, but in such positions I've encountered more difficulty with 7. ...Qc7 than with 7. ...Be7. In this case, after barring the counterpunch ...Nd5 with 10. c4, White was able to develop his bishop on f4, putting unaccustomed pressure on Black's queenside, which in turn probably led to Miles' positional concessions. None of this would have been possible had Black taken the more flexible alternative on move 7. Again, however, I am not a specialist.... |
|
| Feb-15-13 | | Castleinthesky: Tal makes Miles look almost as bad as myself! Although Miles fully redeemed himself in this classic Karpov vs Miles, 1980 |
|
Feb-15-13
 | | Jimfromprovidence: I loved the quiet 20 Qf3.
click for larger view It prevents 20...Bxd7?, as that leads to 21 Be3, below, attacking and winning the queen, because of the additional threat Qxf7+.
