Nezhmetdinov VS Tal || The Smile of Caïssa (1959)

The arrows weren't kind to Agadmator today.

When they do it, it's a sacrifice.
When I do it, it's a blunder.

"Better to be a legend that never became a grandmaster than a grandmaster that never became a legend."

"there is only one more game left, I will eventually show this game as well"

it has taken you 3 years antonio

An unstoppable force meets an other unstoppable force :)

"Obvious mouse slip does not exist" --Agadmator
"c4" -- Rashid

That c4 move in the end was probably a #mouseslip
by Nezh😎

I'm a simple man, I see Tal, I click

"No one attacks like Nezhmetdinov..."...

**Mr. Barnes enters that chat.

The No Reverse Gear Nzehmetdinov vs The Magician from Riga

Only OGs will remember how long we've been waiting for this

Last time When I was this early Agadmator was even mentioning names of people donating 0.01 $
so down to earth man.

Tal: MY SACRIFICES ARE THE BEST!

Nezhmetdinov: Hold my beer

"Wow" is the new "sorry about that".
Also, congrats on 800K Agad!!

Yuri Averbakh said sbout Nezhmetdinov :
"Nezhmetdinov, ... if he had the attack, could kill anybody, including Tal. But my score against him was something like 8½–½ because I did not give him any possibility for an active game. In such cases he would immediately start to spoil his position because he was looking for complication".

I think it will be interesting to cover a game between the two of them. How a great defensive player outplay the greatest offensive player. Yuri Averbakh is the oldest GM alive and seeing how he beat Nezhmetdinov will be a great way to know this amazing player and how strong he was. #suggestion

Sorry for being a bit late today!

IT WAS IN THIS POSITIONERIO AGADMATORINO ...

Agad: "and it's very hard to make a mistake here"
Me: shuffles feet....looks at the ceiling.

The replays of the moves with analysis of alternative moves is great. The commentary and background you offer is even better, it keeps me coming back. Thanks for this my friend. 🙏🏼

Congratulations on 800k subscribers Antonio!

What I mean to say by this, is just that your work is magnificent and you really convey your love for the game brilliantly and sincerely. It's truly inspirational. Thus, many thanks for all you do and congratulations!
