In this blitz game Mikhail Tal is choosing the Austrian attack vs Pirc Defense, and is managing to organize a devastating attack! Once his opponent Argentine GM Miguel Quinteros faces Tal’s sacrifices his position crumbles. The pinnacle of sacrifices becomes the powerful deflective move which forces Black to resign!
