Prior to his 1960 game with Mikhail Tal, Miguel Najdorf challenged Tal to play like Tal and promised that he would accept all of Tal’s sacrifices. Najdorf initially held true to his word, but Tal’s sacrifices could soon no longer be accepted as checkmate loomed.
Lessons:
* Don’t dare Tal to be Tal.
*…Re8 is somehow always correct in the Schevinengen.
* Qh3 is a very flexible attacking move against the Schevinengen.
* Don’t overreact to moves you are suspicious of, e.g. Bf2.
