Breathtaking and courageous play from Tal and a story well told by you. Look forward to more. Cheers!

[Majnu2006]

A fearless player indeed.

[Fiends4]

Both of you have great styles! Again, great video Majnu!

[Majnu2006]

Thanks.

I'm still waiting for your first chess video! ;-)

[Ruxistico]

a very beautiful game! Kingscrusher has also annotated this game. Also Kasparov has done some great work on it in his "My Great Predecessors" book. Looking forward to more Tal games from you!

[Majnu2006]

Yes a great game indeed. I didn't know KC had annotated this game. I just watched his video. It's interesting watching different video's of the same game. Each of us has his own style of making a video analysis.

[cupcakechagrin]

thx, your vids are great!

[Robotman42]

White got an excellent pre-attack formation right off the beginning - centralized knight on e4, centralized queen on d4, bishop on g5, with a knight on f3 and a bishop on c4 ready to join the action.

You have an excellent way of bring these games to vivid life. I always look forward to your vds.

Thanks for your efforts

I liked the quote at the end. It goes really well with the video. Great!

[Fiends4]

Yeah, I'd have to get video editing software and a decent webcam or video recording software... Ugh, lots of work. Not sure if I'm up to it... Maybe someday, I'm playing on Chesscube these days, hit me up at Fiends. I think I'm rated around 2300-2400 these days. :D
