Mikhail Tal’s Candidates brilliancy against Lajos Portisch shows his powers at their full potency. A daring rook sacrifice on e6 in the Caro Kann is rewarded, redeeming his previously tarnished history of sacrifices on e6 in a Caro Kann.
Lessons:
* When your opponent may not be familiar with an opening structure, get them out of book.
* As always, defending is harder than attacking.
* Know what makes your opponent uncomfortable.
* A queen is very powerful against an open king. Consider it worth at least a couple of pawns in compensation.
