Hi guys, I want to play like Mikhail Tal? Any tips? Somebody told me I was good at creating complications and I took pride in it even tho I usually hang pieces. Here is a game in which I tried really hard to play like him, any tips, I just want TO PLAY LIKE HIM, HE IS MY IDOL.

Do you  guys think my analysis is correct? Was I in the right mindset or did I overestimate my position too much?
Pls discuss, and thanks a lot.

sac stuff off. and play like a gm.

BronsteinPawn

But GMs dont sac stuff, it is really hard man. Do you think my game looks like something Tal would have played?

MrFahrenKnight

tal sacs stuff all the time. he was once asked by a fellow gm, 'why did you sac that pawn' and he replied 'it was in my way'

So, was my Nd5+ good if I was trying to play like Tal?

You need to improve your tactics and calculation. Study Tal's games. Read books like Art of Attack. Tal actually has good positional understanding, so you need also to improve your positional understanding.

attack attack attack.. every move should have some type of attack underlining. even castling! dont you just love checking their king by castling haha. nothing better.. unless it actually mates them..which I think ive done before..or maybe it was just a puzzle I solved. good luck with being like tal. I absolutely love watching watching his games and am a big fan of his and his style

imagine if tal was around now? a bit more exciting games if he was in the championship this year haha

Ok here is the deal fraser. I can sac all of my pieces against you in a friendly unrated blitz game and try to flag you, it will remind you of Tal, CAUSE IM THE MODERN INTERNET TAL.

Do you guys even look at the game? It is greatly annotated and you may be able to criticize my bad moves... just saying.

You can also tell me how great Nd5+ was.

Nice photoshop bud.

At least say the complete story bud.

Logozar paid me 50 bucks if I let him win 20 games.

I AGREED. In fact in that game I hung my rook on purpose and he declined, so I later on hung my queen to let him win.

YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.

Witness, one of my many crushing defeats against Logozar.
