Storm of the Century | Tal vs Botvinnik 1960. | Game 6

' I don't wanna miss calculations, better to go safely '... - Tal Boey ( after rogue knight sacrifice )

I am no chess player, not by any right. But I have watched enough of this channel now to understand that Chess is not a game of mating the king, but of being up a pawn.

Sorry about the lengthy video, but if any game deserves it, it's this one :)

Agadmator: "This is winning how ever you play it." Me: "I'm in with a chance here lads." Agadmator: "I mean you have to play it correctly." Me: "We lost boys."

That moment when you're watching an old agadmator video with a very calm "hello everyone" and then you switch to a new video with a very loud "HELLO EVERYONE" with your volume on max

I'm waiting for that moment when agadmator will grab his crazy acting dog and cuddle it on screen

The 23 minutes looks like 2 minutes in this video, its a great game & great video as well ! Thanq Antonio ~

“Been crushing grandmasters since they’ve existed” lolol

When tal thinks 3 extra pawn is not enough for botvinniks piece, shows how good Bottvinnik was. And this is tals thought process as a great attacker himself. My most favourite game, not because tal won, but because he was so beautifully humble.

this is 11th time I am watching Tal Botvinic series. especially titles like ''Fall of Leningrad Dutch", "My Taxi driver is not chess enthusiastic", etc. Well Done Agad.

Doggie in the background says, "I should adjourn my sleep and move to a quieter back room as there is too much noise here."

nerf tal

Tal was AlphaZero 0.1

Superlative analysis ! Excellent commentary. Clear, concise. Fascinating game by two great champions ! So exciting. I'm amazed by the balls of Tal: Imagine under that pressure, to make that intuitive positional knight sacrifice !? And without any real follow up? In a world championship game? So young, so gifted. So gutsy. Wow. Brilliant. Beautiful game. No wonder Bobby loved this guy--he was there on Tal's death bed. What a legacy for Tal. Breathtaking, hair-raising game. Now I can't sleep! Lol. I felt like I was literally witnessing God's work in progress. Thank you Maestro for this exposition.

I re-watch this for the 20th times. Never get bored

In case you guys forgot: 1959 Candidates Tournament Standings: Mikhail Tal: 20/28 Paul Keres: 18.5/28 Tigran Petrosian: 15.5/28 Vasily Smyslov: 15/28 Svetozar Gligoric: 12.5/28 Bobby Fisher: 12.5/28 Fridrik Olafsson: 10/28 Pal Benko: 8/28

Agadmator: "It's easy to find ideas after the game" Me (60 years later): Resigns with no idea what to do.

This is my favorite game ever… I’ve watched it dozens of times and will watch it as many more times as I can…

Botvinnik: "Ha, Tal now needs to retreat his pieces, positional finesse wins vs. the crazy kid" Tal plays Nf4. Botvinnik: "Oh get fucked"

I LOVE these long videos man. Informative as always, and also, talking about the history of each games takes me to that moment in a sense, and gets me into Zen mode haha! Much love from Greece!
