Here is another brilliant attacking game played by the eighth World Chess Champion Mikhail Tal! At 1971 USSR Championship Leonid Shamkovich inflicted on the tournament leader Mikhail Tal his first defeat in the eighth round, which now a year later served as an inspiring stimuli for the former world chess champion before the start of the game given below! By surprising his opponent in Caro-Kann defense and making a rare move Tal then castles queen-side in hope of organizing a quick attack! Soon Shamkovich makes a mistake, allows White to double up his pawns on the f-file and damage his king-side! Once Black’s king-side becomes vulnerable Tal launches an attack, by first sacrificing his bishop and then going for an exchange sacrifice! In view of an imminent mate Black resigns, without managing to show an adequate resistance in this game! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
