Tal Sacrificed a Rook… Then Geller’s King Had Nowhere to Hide! | Tal vs Geller 1967

The turning point came with 23.Rxd5!, a daring rook sacrifice that forced Geller to capture. Tal immediately followed with 24.Qf3!, bringing his queen into the attack and creating dangerous threats against the black king. After 25.Qxf7+, Tal continued to collect material while keeping the initiative. The pressure eventually led to a powerful endgame, where Tal’s passed f-pawn became decisive.
