The most beautiful thing about this tactical stoush is that it's extremely accurate. For me, that is the reason the game should be appreciated so much. In such a complicated position, these two brilliant minds navigated the way together to the destined result of a draw by perpetual. |

| Confuse: instead of 19. Qe5, could tal have done Bd3, Q or pond takes d3, Rxf2, with the queen threatening mate? i know this is just my fantasy, and tal's my hero neway, but i just see him winning this game ~ as a draw its still a good game for sure though. gg |

| Cyphelium: <Confuse> Indeed 19.-  d3 20.  h8+  g8 21. xg8+  xg8 22. xc7 e4+ 23.  g1 xc7 would be good for black, as would 20. xc7 xh7 21. xg2 xc7. Unfortunately, there are other options. First, after 20. cxd3 e5 21. xg2 xe6 22. h8+ white picks up the c3 pawn and reaches an endgame that should be winning. Second, there's the perhaps more Tal-like 20. h3!?. Then 20.- d7 21. xg2 g6 22. h8+ e8 23. xc3+ b8 24. e5+ c8 is not good at all. Trickier is 20.- e5, but possibly 21. cxd3!? is the right move here. 21.- xf2? 22. c5+ is mate or loss of the queen. |

| patzerboy: I think it's a fantastic game! Of course, it's not perfect, but it's an allout slugging match by two of the most fearless sluggers of all time. It's one thing to sniff, hold one's pinkie in the air, and say this game is over-rated from the safe confines of latter day computer analysis. It's quite another thing to actually PLAY a game like this. Fischer and Tal both regarded it as among their most memorable games ever. They never have claimed it was without errors. |

| Erdkunde: I guess if 19. Kxf1 Rxh2 then 20. Nxc7 Rxh7 wins a piece by virtue of the Rh1+ threat, while if the White Queen goes to g7 or f7 then the complications following 20. ...Rh1+ lead to either mate or the loss of a piece for White. |

| savagerules: If all draws were exciting as this game there wouldn't be a problem. BTW for Soltis to criticize this complicated game is absurd, he can only wish to play just one game like this in his life. |

| Marmot PFL: Fisher was only 16 at the time, and players that age are much more likely to play tactically than strategically. |

| kevin86: This game almost looks contrived-a composition,as it were. Tal was at his peak and Fischer was still a teenager at this time. So,I really don't know what to think... |

| ChessNe1: i like the pun...abstract drawings. |

| Hesam7: <<Benjamin Lau>: Many GMs believe it's a !. However, Tal himself later said that ...Qxe5!! instead wins. Later, some high level GMs studied the position and concluded that white was winning. Huebner and other after that group concluded that black was winning. Unclear.> That is insane! Can you post any of the analysis you mention?? Here is Fischer's comments in "My 60 Memorable games". His analysis is convincing: <15...Nxe5
Playing for a win. After 15...Qxe5 16 Bxe7 Rh8 17 Rfe1 (17 Rae1? loses to Qb8!), Qxe1+ 18 Rxe1 Rxh7 19 Bxd8 Kxd8 (weak is 19...Bxb5 20 Bf6!) 20 Bxd7 Kxd7 21 Re3! bails White out.> |

| Hesam7: <<Benjamin Lau>: 13....o-o-o? Analysis showed that black has the advantage after 13...Nxe5!> Fischer clearly disagrees with that:
<13...O-O-O
After the game Petrosian suggested 13...Nxe5 but 14 Nxe5 Qxe5 15 Bxd7+ Kxd7 16 Qd3! keeps White on top (if 16...Qe4? 17 Qxe4 dxe4 18 f3! wins a pawn).> |

| Hesam7: I must add that engines disagree with Fischer's last line: 13...Nxe5 14 Nxe5 Qxe5 15 Bxd7+ Kxd7 16 Qd3 
click for larger viewhere Fischer says that White has the advantage but Black can continue with 16...Qf5 (Fruit) 17 Qb5 Nc6 18 Qxb7 Kd6 19 g3 (forced) 19...Rab8 20 Qa6 Rh8: 
click for larger viewAnd this hardly looks good for White. |

| RookFile: Well, as I recall, Tal himself disagreed with the line Fischer gave, but I don't remember his analysis. |

| BaranDuin: This game seems to be a popular game to replay by players who agreed to a draw before the game. |

| PugnaciousPawn: Fireworks all over the place with this game!! Classic Tal/Fischer explosiveness. The positions are very complex and are extemely difficult for both sides to play. |
