Tal’s Rook Storm Ends With a Brutal Checkmate!

In this 1966 Palma de Mallorca battle, Mikhail Tal takes on Alberic O’Kelly de Galway in a sharp Sicilian Defense, Richter-Rauzer Variation (B64). The game becomes increasingly dangerous as Tal’s rooks invade the position and his pieces coordinate around the exposed white king. The decisive finish comes with 64...Rxb3+!, forcing the king onto a4, where Tal delivers the final blow: 65...Ra2# — checkmate. A classic Tal finish: active rooks, constant pressure, and a king with nowhere left to run.
