THE BISHOP MOVE THAT BROKE WHITE’S DEFENSE! | Tal vs Medina 1966

Mikhail Tal faced Antonio Angel Medina Garcia in Palma de Mallorca in 1966, and this game became a fascinating battle of tactics, passed pawns, and king exposure. The turning point came with 19...Bxb3!, when Tal sacrificed the bishop to disrupt White’s queenside and create tactical opportunities. After 20.Nxb5 Qxc2, Tal continued to win material while keeping White’s king under pressure. The game then transformed into a dangerous endgame. Tal’s h-pawn advanced all the way to h1=Q, creating a new queen that became decisive. After the queenside and kingside complications, Tal brought his king and queen into the attack. The final sequence ended with 54...Qxf2+ 55.Kh1 Qg2#. Watch the full game to see how Tal turned a tactical exchange into a passed-pawn promotion and a final checkmate.
