Tal's bold and reckless 16. Nd5

Post by Nordlandia »

Stockfish NNUE show winning +2/+3 in this line. But regular stockfish only show something like +1.4ish

Black trump card is the pawn majority on the kingside.

I think a modern day engine would instantly defend this and crush Tal.
Even the chess app on chess.com, in instant mode, level 25.
I know tal cleared the diagonals for his 2 bishops, but i dont see he has a win because of that

So, alas! We cannot follow the example of our greatest masters of yesteryear.

ChessGames has got Tal's win in 37 moves instead of 28 for some reason. It has exactly the moves that are commented in your PGN. I mean, ChessGames has 17. ... f5 instead of 17. ... g6 and so on:

The more interesting question is (I think) will any an engine sac the knight?

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I guess he means to say that NNUE SF has a better evaluation than SF without NNUE.

Not any that play sound chess. For the position after White's Nd5:

Of course, this is truth.

With a search this deep, with modern computer programs and hardware, it is abundantly clear that the best move, Ne2, draws.
But aren't we all glad that Tal did not play that?
Someday, in the resurrection, I intend to thank him personally.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

"An extremely risky and, apparently, even a losing move. "The auditorium went still: what was this - ultra-boldness, recklessness? No one found an answer to these questions, it was simply not possible. My Great Predecessors part II 2003.

Garry intuitively claimed it was losing 17 years ago. The sacrifice is clearly dubious.
