Fischer - Tal (1959)

Submitted by ih8sens on Sat, 08/23/2008 at 12:43pm.

As promised, a very nice game between one of the, if not the, best chess players of all time, 'Bobby' Fischer and Mikhail Tal, still renowned for his dangerous tactics. This game shows something about Tal that is often overlooked. Sometimes building up pressure and mobilizing pieces is the key to winning. The beautiful sacrifices are just the icing on the cake.

Without further ado, lets get into the (fully annotated!) game.

Great game, and thanks for the annotations.

The only thing is that on move 7 Bb3, Fischer does that so Tal doesnt go 7...Nxe4, forcing 8 Nxe4, followed by a fork with the D pawn of Fischer's bishop and knight with 8...D5.

Thanks again for a really interesting game
