Here is a brilliant attacking game played by the “Magician from Riga” Mikhail Tal vs Estonian chess master Iivo Nei! Against French Defense Tal chooses a very tricky Milner-Barry Gambit, sacrifices two pawns and launches a ferocious attack! Being unaware of the opening theory Iivo Nei starts making mistakes one after another, and soon gets a lost position! With a brilliant rook sacrifice Tal is destroying Black’s protective shield and targets the king! Resignation follows quickly!
