Here is a brilliant attacking game played by 17 year old Mikhail Tal vs Teodors Zeids! Despite the fact that this game is little known and appears nowhere in Tal’s books but this game is a brilliant example of Tal’s attacking style, which was well developed even from early age! With a powerful king-side attack Tal blows apart opponent’s camp and in view of an imminent checkmate forces to resign! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
