♕ FULL VIDEO: www.onlinechesslessons.net ♕ MORE: www.onlinechesslessons.net facebook.com | twitter.com With the white pieces Botvinnik begins the game with a flexible set-up, eventually transposing to the Fianchetto Variation of the King´s Indian Defense. True to his style, Tal plays very aggressively and strives to create maximum complications as soon as possible. With 21. …Nf4!? the attacking legend speculatively sacrifices a piece to disrupt white´s coordination, embarking on a dangerous attack that confused the legendary Botvinnik. This game really is fascinating as you can see both player´s respective styles – Tal was an insane attacker who would never hesitate to sacrifice and jump into complications, while Botvinnik saw the game through the eyes of a scientist and preferred a calmer, more patient strategy to strangle his opponents into submission. Although Botvinnik did handle the attack OK and proceeded to sacrifice the material back to obtain good drawing chances, Tal conducted a beautiful endgame with the two bishops and extra pawn to convert the full point in 47 moves.

I’ve been doing Queen’s Gambit accepted all wrong. OH GOD WHY…
Surely just take the e5 pawn, the exchange of queen’s and a king that cannot castle is more than compensated for by the extra pawn surely…
Nf3 before e3, else you just get the annoying …e5
Because that blockade the e pawn that is blocking the dark square bishop and the rook on the h file.
That’s Queen’s Gambit Decline (QGD).
What if black tries to hang on to his pawn, white moves his pawn to a 4 and then black moves bishop d7?
?why cant black protect his pawn by moving the bishop to e6
Two things; 1) In the accepted line, what if after we play e3, letting the Bishop attack the pawn, he plays Be6 to defend the pawn, we can to longer capture, what now? 2) Also In the accepted line, I’ve found that I’m trapping in my dark square Bishop and generally end up playing Bd2… Any advice?
we may do that once we’ve covered intros to all the major openings. it’s certainly a significant variation, so a good suggestion.
I really would like to see a video with the 3. e4 variation in it, although this video was a good intro into the QGA.
I prefer 3.Nf3
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like the guy from ratatouille?
Karpov used 3.e4 several times, it is a very old approach.
3. Nf3 is against 3…e5!?
what about queens gambit declined
why e3 instead of e4?
hi zduracell, we are not planning to make another video on that– there are a lot of other openings to cover which we have not yet. The lines Kostya was showing starting with e3 and then Nf3 transposed to the lines you usually get from Nf3 and then e3, so there would not be that much to say anyway!
Please could you make a video explaining playing Nf3 instead of e3?
Nice. I was looking for this! Thanks
Good stuff.
Thank you vary much.
Usefull video, thanks !
This is epic I’ve never seen one of his DVD’s before! His style is great!
Yes – we offer international shipping in our online store. Shoot me a personal message if you would like a 25% off coupon for any GingerGM DVD
Are these DVDS available in Russia?
Yes! Thanks for watching
I thought it was going to be a little instructive game, but he gave us excellent pieces of advises about how to play active chess. Thank you very much!
GM Simon Williams’ teaching style is awesome!
Ginger refers to a person with red hair
I like how he slams the pieces down to add emphasis.
Best chess video i ever saw! Thank you, i really like Tals way of playing.
But please tell me what does it mean “ginger” in your title?
Amazing analysis. GM Simon Williams, along with IM Andrew Martin are the best YT commentators
Or is that exactly what u have done here already with your brilliant analysis? Ha.
I think it would be interesting to take a few critical positions in some of Tal’s best games and see what move(s) the strongest computer programs response is…then have you folks give an analysis for us. Or not. Ha.
People who don’t know chess might take a better look at the game after watching you. Thanks for the 30 minutes of instructive fun.
wow
I’m gonna buy some of his dvd’s for my birthday 🙂
Great chess video! Thank you!
Simon i can’t wait to see you again, you’re so fun and interesting !
Big fan ^^
Come on you Tal, come on your Tal…
What I like about Simon is the crazy story he tells…. Tal is a legend…
Very nice commentating.
As I was saying … some special ability taught to him by aliens. New YouTube SUCKS by the way, there’s no way to edit your own comments now. Not in the iPad version at least.
It’s like watching The Doctor teaching chess! 🙂 Amazing video lesson!, I love Tal’s creativity and great luck! Maybe it was not luck, maybe he had some specia l
Awesome video. Williams doing a Tal dvd? I mean what more could anyone ask for. I’m definitely gonna check out the DVD see if I can afford it. Tal is easily one of my favorite chess players of all time.
great ,great stuff Simon! pure energy!
Tal explained with english humor^^ awesome^^
This video was really interesting, not only educational but quite entertaining, which I believe is something really hard to do.
This videos are vety useful. Tnx!
