How Correct Were Mikhail Tal's Sacrifices? - Part 2

All of my content and writings will be free forever. Donate or become a patron to help support this content.

Writing these articles took about 4 months of reasonably constant daily work (March 2024 till June 2024). I looked through almost 3000 games by Mikhail Tal. A 200-part series on Mikhail Tal's sacrfices takes some work, yes!

Important Information

Note that this article will be updated from time to time as I haven't finished writing all of the articles yet (as of early June 2024; I hope to finish by August).

This article (part 2) as well as the first, third, and fourth articles of this series (parts 1, 3, and 4) is a "master" article which includes all the important information you need to read the remaining, analysis-driven parts of this project. Thus, keep referring to parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 as you read the remaining parts.
