β–ͺ️ Mikhail Tal
β–ͺ️Latvian-Soviet chess Grandmaster

♦️ Mikhail Nekhemyevich Tal was a Soviet Latvian chess Grandmaster and the eighth World Chess Champion. Widely regarded as a creative genius and one of the best attacking players of all time, Tal played in a daring, combinatorial style.

πŸ”Έ Full name: Latvian: Mihails Tāls
πŸ”Έ Country: Latvia
πŸ”Έ Born: 9 November 1936
Riga, Latvia
πŸ”Έ Died : 28 June 1992 (aged 55)
Moscow, Russia
πŸ”Έ Title: Grandmaster (1957)
πŸ”Έ World Champion: 1960–61
πŸ”Έ Peak rating: 2705 (January 1980)

♦️Tal first qualified for the USSR Chess Championship final in 1956, finishing joint fifth, and became the youngest player to win it the following year, at the age of 20. He had not played in enough international tournaments to qualify for the title of Grandmaster, but FIDE decided at its 1957 Congress to waive the normal restrictions and award him the title because of his achievement in winning the Soviet Championship. At that time, the Soviet Union was dominant in world chess, and Tal had beaten several of the world's top players to win the tournament.
Tal made three appearances for the USSR at Student Olympiads in 1956–58, winning three team gold medals and three board gold medals. He won nineteen games, drew eight, and lost none, for 85.2 percent.
He retained the Soviet Championship title in 1958 at Riga, and competed in the World Chess Championship for the first time. He won the 1958 Interzonal tournament at PortoroΕΎ, then helped the Soviet Union win its fourth consecutive Chess Olympiad at Munich.
