He Took Tal’s Queen… HUGE Mistake

Mikhail Tal sacrifices his queen against Milko Bobotsov—and turns a seemingly strategic King’s Indian Defense into complete chaos. Played at the World Student Team Championship, this legendary battle begins with Bobotsov building a massive center in the Sämisch System. But while White prepares a kingside attack, Tal strikes on the opposite wing and refuses to move his attacked queen. Instead, he sacrifices it for two minor pieces, a dangerous initiative, and relentless pressure against the white king.
