|
TalEl: this was a tricky one because it was a simple one. I saw the move pretty quickly but spent a lot of time analyzing to see if it works in all variations.... and it does! |

TalEl: Kasparov,in my opinion, is the reflection of what Tal would have been had he(Tal) studied chess more. |

Jan-07-06 Tal vs NN, 1963 
|
TalEl: Black should have played either 7... Qc7 or 7...Nbd7 fortifying the e5 square. This game is an example of the price you pay for making an opening lapse against Tal |

|
TalEl: Tal was a highly intuitive player. It is unlikely that Tal calculated the final position after playing 24 Rxf6. However this move compromises Black's King safety thus giving White a healthy attack. Tal's sacs are based more on positional judgement than thorough calculation. |
