No Way! Mikhail Tal Goes For A Sacrifice Without Any Calculations

Josef Kupper vs Mikhail Tal
Playing Sicilian defense against Mikhail Tal usually turns out to be a very dangerous undertaking because Tal himself played Sicilian, knew all odds and ends of the opening, and was especially dangerous when playing against Sicilian with the white pieces! But in this game Tal is on the black side, and he chooses Najdorf variation where in the main line once the players castle opposite sides Tal is getting great attacking chances! After Josef Kupper's 12th move, which looks a bit passive Tal's attack gradually gets scarier and under the pressing white finally makes a mistake and his position goes down very quickly! A sharp game where Tal even sacrifices a piece without calculations!
