  • who is playing 'traumeri'? if Tal himself, he played chess much, much better.

  • And also to mention the fact that he was playing drunk against Grandmasters and he was winning them.RIP TAL god of chess!!!!

  • If only he had had more quiet life, if he studied more, I am sure that Botvinik couldn't beat Tal, at least not only after 1 year.

    Not to mention Tal's health which made him weaker.

  • @MetalScull If he didnt have health problems and if he had studied chess noone could even dare to stand and fight against him even Botvinik said that

  • If Tal were a general we would win every war by exposing their king and sacrificing a few good knights

  • At 7:19 of this video. You can tell that look from Tal ! Yeah I know you just a fake. Like i said You know Fischer is the greatest chess genius to descend from the chess heavens we play through his moves. ischer taught us all.how to play chess when he won the US championship. Teams of 50 analyzing possible moves and every games,He wiped our Russian Chess off the map, every game of Fischer They spent hours and days and weeks on all his gamesthey cheated him games where rigged a lot of bad news..

  • @royallen1979

    Russian chess? Well, if you mean only players who's nationality is russian then yeah, otherwise you are wrong. Because Tal, for example, was latvian. And I wouldn't be so sure about biggest talent you are talking. Aliochin, Capablanka, I think, hasn't less talent. Tal also had a lot of talent and he would be far more superior chess player if only he studied it more. Chess to him was just part of a life which had a lot of parts.

  • @MetalScull Latvian? i thought he was Talvian ?

    xD

  • @AlanWattParrot

    Is it a joke? Changing letters in opposite places? Sorry, bad one to me.

  • @jessicafischerqueen I thot Drive was imagistically brilliant tho. I have a lot of 80s nostalgia, I like that retro feel. Try some Stockhausen for Tal - I like Mantra's 6th movement. Or, Miles Davis is a rich source of creative, minimal music

  • @jessicafischerqueen

    This may not be extremely original, as it was recently used in the movie "Drive," but I really think a Kavinsky song called "Nightcall" goes extremely well with the unique creative genius of Tal. Id like to see it synchronized against his trademark stare and game footage. Also, it modernizes his legacy, a legacy that seems more novel than any other Chess player of his era.

    Nightcall - by Kavinsky.

    I hope u agree

  • @LoFidelityBeatz I don't, but thanks for the idea. I not only listened to the song, I watched "Drive" with Ryan Gosling. A good film that could have been great, a great soundtrack ruined by the hackneyed 80s style woman vocalist. To be fair, however, I don't like the soundtrack I put on this Tal video. The John Serrie is way too cliched and it does sound like Mannheim Steamroller. And the Schubert is played by a machine. Anyways, please don't hesitate to post more music ideas.

  • Looks like Tal and Fisher were close friends...?

  • Hard to believe he was just 56 when he died. Looked a good decade older.. Great video!

  • Thanks Jessica, for the great video!

    Tal is Tal. An immortal one, whose name will be cherished as long as chess is played. The most imaginative chess player of all time. One of my most favourite players.

    What a player, what a player!

    My humble respects.

    RIP, magician from Riga.

  • i play chess but not in france never mind stop.Bobby...

  • the most romantic player ever!!!

  • Excellent video and music!! Who interprets the fourth Chopin studio? ? Amazing! !

  • Hi Jessica, just wondering if you are shy to talk in your videos? or are they all slide shows with music? Perhaps you can do a brief introduction of the video for a change. Thank you.

  • Wonderful video Jessica! :)

  • i gotta be honest i prefered the book .

  • Tal was one weird lookin' mother fucker

  • Paganini of chess!!

  • @79cristoff Who is Paganini?

  • @MoPar7055 the best violonist  of world ever Nicolas Paganini

  • I haven't read much about Tal. But the little bit that I have read about him suggests that he was a gregarious character. What exactly does that mean? Was Tal a pisshead (on the booze)? Or maybe he liked drugs? Genuine question.

  • @ottogunsche - "I drink, I smoke, I gamble, I chase girls – but postal chess is one vice I don't have."-Tal.

  • @ottogunsche

    After the tournaments he would play chess in chessclubs with patzers for cigarettes. Of course no one could beat him. At the end of the evening he would have a stack of cigarettes and booze half a meter high.

  • Actually the last piece of music on that video sounds like it was played on the Mannheim Steamroller if I'm not mistaken.

  • Thanks for this video, Jessica. I really enjoyed the images and the hymn "Praise to the Lord Almighty". Tal really was a genius!

  • In '55 Smyslov and some of his friends, including Keres, came to US and kicked the >>>>> out of our best players. Nothing much has changed, the game just can't keep up with football basketball baseball in the hearts of Americans. Perhaps these YouTube videos will help.

  • Investigate blending the slow movement from Shubert's String Quintet (not the trout) with the entire video. I liked the musical choices, btw. More power to you.

  • "instrument" used in the Schuman should be sunk to the bottom of the deepest sea

  • @ears61 Yes I have to agree. This was the first chess video I ever made and the only "free classical music site" I could get to work was this Electronic Nightmare. You know what's funny? The electronic music company from that website has CLAIMED this video on copyright! LOL that means they get some of the money from whatever ads youtube runs off this video. At least they didn't have it destroyed. Silly robot- pianos are for humans.

  • Wonderful video. I think Tal is proud of the one who made this such a beautiful tribute to revoliutonary genious of chess.

  • Is it a robot playing the Schumann? No offense Jessica. Great video, I watched a video on Tal last night, where he gives a simul against 10 players blindfolded. Amazing.

  • Tal was the most exciting player in the history of chess- hands down.

  • I love Tal. Thank you for making this video.

  • would you happen to know...

    (at 7:27) Is that Amer Lukmani sitting there, and his Dad in the next room? (just over the shoulder of the big smiling man center, with glasses and looking the other way?)

    Amer spoke of his Dad playing not only Tal, but Alekhine and even Capablanca.

  • Misha was a genius.

  • his wife just hot :)

  • Tal was extraordinary!

  • OMG 5:35 !!!! XD

  • I've always thought of the song "Midnight Blue" by Louise Tucker when playing over Tal's brilliancies. Thank God he lived before computer chess :).

  • Misha, I lack the words to properly describe what your games and legacy mean to this humble and mortal follower of the path you lightened. Your chess jewels will forever be proof that God walked among us and decided to taught us how to play chess. Honor and glory to you, Misha! Chess pieces live and breathe through your games. Thank you for your legacy!

  • mijail tal un gran jugador sus grandes convinaciones me sirvieron mucho en el ajedrez

  • Awesome video.

  • wonderful video,very exciting,made me cry..

    

  •  The final song is a hymn first published in "Ander Theil des Erneuerten Gesangbuch, Part II (1665)." It was later altered by Joachim Neander and given the title "Lobe Den Herren." The melody appears in Bach Cantatas 57 and 137. In English this hymn is known as "Praise to the Lord Almighty." The version in this video was arranged and performed by Jon Serrie.

  • @bolo88881 The second song is "Rondo alla Turca" by Mozart.

  • What is the second song ?

  • nice music

  • Very nice! Perhaps the most charismatic player of all time.

  • good vid

  • Mikhail Tal is better than Tigran Petrosian he lossed because his illness and not serious in petrosian better check the games between petrosian and tal!!

  • thanks man..

  • First song is "traumerei" by Schumann

  • @jessicafischerqueen superb music .thanks for posting!Great TAL

  • what is the title of the music played frm 0-2:21?

  • Seated are Tal, Lautier, and Anand. Standing on the far left is Larsen and on the far right are Timman and Spassky. I think that's Andersson next to Timman. I agree it looks like Kasparov but the only time Anand and Tal played was at Cannes in 1989 and Kasparov didn't play there. Maybe he attended because it was a GMA event or maybe it was one of the other players in that event.

  • Can someone identify the players for me at 7:23 ? I think Tal is sitting on extreme left, Vishy anand on right. Kasparov is standing behind him. Who are the others ?

  • Great video!! one that gets you inspired, thanks for posting this beautiful video of the legendary Michail Tal and Fischer. Two of these were bond very deeply even to their deaths.

  • very well done , good work :)

  • Great compilation!

  • Obv made by someone who loves the man and who loves the game. Brilliant!

  • Great Video !

  • Yes!

  • Very nice :)
