In this video I am analyzing a brilliant rapid game played by the eighth World Chess Champion Mikhail Tal vs Soviet GM Yuri Balashov! This was played at a rapid tournament held over two days at the Moscow Central Chess club in 1987, to mark the 60th anniversary of the October revolution. Tal plays this game in his usual aggressive dynamic style and wins the game by sacrificing both rooks! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle which is also taken from a game played by Mikhail Tal! (Ostrauskas vs Tal, Vilnius, 1955)
