To have a challenger for World Champion Anatoly Karpov it was necessary to qualify eight players for the Candidates quarterfinal knockout matches that would be held in 1980. Viktor Korchnoi and Boris Spassky had qualified by having reached the Korchnoi - Spassky Candidates Final (1977/78). The other six players would qualify from two interzonal tournaments: Riga (this page), and Rio de Janeiro Interzonal (1979). From Rio, Robert Huebner, Lajos Portisch and Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian qualified.

To play in the interzonals the players had to qualify from zonal tournaments. For the Riga interzonal, Miles had qualified from the Amsterdam Zonal (1978) tournament. Grünfeld qualified from the Lucerne Zonal (1979), Tarjan and Mednis from the US Championship (1978), Rodriguez from Ito Zonal (1978), Adorjan, Ribli and Gheorghiu from Warsaw Zonal (1979), Ljubojevic and Bouaziz from Praia da Rocha Zonal (1978), Tseshkovsky, Romanishin and Kuzmin from Lvov Zonal (1978) and Trois and Riemsdijk from Tramandai Zonal (1978). (1) Larsen and Polugaevsky qualified from reaching the Candidates matches in 1977. (2) Mikhail Tal from the host country had a wild card, which had caused protests in Russia. (3) Roman Hernandez was originally situated in the draw as no. 1, but on his failure to arrive his name was withdrawn and the draw was modified. Lubomir Kavalek had qualified from the USA zone, but due to an injury to a leg, while playing tennis as part of his physical preparation, he could not travel and his place was taken by Mednis. Vlastimil Hort withdrew at the last moment through sickness, and was replaced by Romanishin. (4)

  • Tal once said that his favorite way of winning was to spot a trap that his opponent had laid, "fall into it" and then reverse the trap on his opponent.
  • I remember a story about Tal in his later years, having a very good tournament (I don't remember where or when). Someone asked him what he was doing to play so well, and he responded. "Walking around, smoking some cigarettes, sacking some pieces."
  • Didn't know there were still so many interesting Tal games! Glad you aren't waiting for each milestone to present these gifts to us.... time to enjoy the show!
  • @markoz.4985
    Tal was really the most creative chess genius the world has ever seen.
  • Right before his game with Tal, Oleg was chased into the playing hall by an angry mob wielding torches and pitchforks.
  • Tal comes through did we ever doubt Not at all to be Tals student his opposition is truly Blessed to have such a great tutor My Favorite Player Mikhail
  • @dimas2672
    Appreciate you reviewing these games from what seems to be a different planet - from same city that houses the legendary Ivanchuk
  • @asrb6887
    for Tal, chess was a hobby, not a career
  • @Hubythereal
    i wish someone who actually know Oleg just show him this video. i'm sure he'd be happy, and it would bring back some great memories for him
  • Tal indeed made his opponent pay for his ambitions to attack him
  • @Puschit1
    For the second pause the video moment: My immediate reaction would have been to just move the knight to d5. If he takes my bishop I take his knight. If he takes my knight, I can take back with the bishop, moving him out of harms way. I would be up a full piece and not just up the exchange. What did I miss?
  • As in most games, as soon as you move your rook to the opponents back ranks its all but over. Because you rarely can kick it back out. Thats why open files are so advantageous for your rooks. Even semi open files give an advantage.
  • 8:04 in last pause the video, I don't understand why Nd5 doesn't work... If Nxd5 then Bxd5 and If Rxb3 then Nxf4... In both the cases everything is fine for white!!
