📘 9.Be2!
Why prepare to fianchetto, and then develop the bishop to e2? because Circumstances changed with Tal's last move and Fischer is quick to adapt to the new environment. The bishop covers f3, as well as c4 while preparing Qd4.
9.Bg2 d6 10.Qd4 a6 11.0-0-0 axb5 12.Bxe5 Be7+/- Now if the bishop was on e2, white would take the b5 with the check!
9.Bg5? helping the knight on e5 from getting rid of the pin, is not a logical way.

📘11.c4!
Black has two bishop advantage, so Fischer decides to close the position. In a single stroke, Fischer removes the fluidity from Black's queenside pawns, and secondly, fixes c5 as a stationary target.
Either 11.f4 or11.Be3 are faced with 11...c4!

▪️Mikhail Tal
▪️ Latvian-Soviet chess grandmaster

🔸 Died 28 June 1992 Moscow, Russia (aged 55)
🔸 Title Grandmaster (1957)
🔸 World Champion 1960–61


▪️ Widely regarded as a creative genius and one of the best attacking players of all time, Tal played in a daring, combinatorial style.
His play was known above all for improvisation and unpredictability.
Every game, he once said, was as inimitable and invaluable as a poem.
He was often called "Misha", a diminutive for Mikhail, and "The magician from Riga".
Both The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games and Modern Chess Brilliancies include more games by Tal than any other player. In addition, Tal was a highly regarded chess writer. He also holds the records for both the first and second longest unbeaten streaks in competitive chess history.

▪️ Mikhail Tal beats Kasparov in 17 Moves - 1 Month before his Death ... (Moscow Blitz Tournament (1992), Moscow RUS, May-28 )

▪️ Today we show you a memorable game of Misha which played in Bled-Zagreb-Belgrade Candidates (1959):
