Welcome to my 3rd Blog, In this blog I want to tell you about Mikhail Tal's brilliancy, how his sacrifices were, his skill etc. So let's dive into it
What is Sacrifice?
Sacrifice is an act of giving some material in order to get compensation or may be equality etc. This sequence was well executed by GM Mikhail Tal who was also known as Magician of Riga for his spectacular sacrifices and insane preparations etc.
''Sometimes Good Sometimes Bad, either happy or sad!''
He was so familiar with sacrifice that most of the time he succeed. Here we will try to analyze these game with Stockfish. He showed a way to the others how to sacrifice and win, mainly Quality over quantity in those time. Here I will show you a match of mine with Tal's Bot in chess.com.
This match shows that he was a Human Engine. 11.Nd5 normal grandmasters in this era will probably play Qd8, but he played the best computer choice move which is Nd5!! sacrificing the queen. After that he managed to get a huge compensation and won the game atlast. The analysis of this game is nicely done by GM Daniel Naroditsky in a chess.com blog.
