These reuploads make me follow an important rule: always repeat!

One of my favorite Tal games is when he was in a winning position against smyslov and Tal resigned so it would be a miniature bc Smyslov wasn’t resigning after Tal sacrificed everything but ended up in a winning endgame.
-
Tal was the 'Diego Maradona' of chess. A flawed genius but one who was capable of the highest level of fantasy and awe when at his best.
-
35:56 "That move has one problem. It's not good" Man, i wish i watched Ben Finegold sooner. He just combines 2 of my most favorite things. Comedy and chess.
-
Tal said one time- i didn't calculate sacrifices, I just told myself it had to be there........ wow beautiful and amazing
-
One of my favorite lectures
-
More sacrifices than a Mayan equinox!

I thoroughly enjoyed this lecture. Thanks Ben.

This is the type of content that sets Ben’s channel apart from other top chess channels. He has the best chess lectures in my opinion. He is somewhere in between Gotham and Danya and it’s a truly great balance. His personality is perfect for this type of content as well. I have moved between a number of different “favorite” chess channels over the last few years and I am always gravitating back to Ben for these specific types of videos.

No wonder chess was more popular back in those days
-
Fischer said "okay" in 1971 because he didn't want to blow his opening prep against the best Soviets.
