🔵 About Mikhail Tal
🔹 Mikhail Tal
🔹 Soviet chess Grandmaster
🔹 Eighth World Chess Champion
🔸 Born: 9 November 1936
🔺 Riga, Republic of Latvia
🔸 Died: 28 June 1992[1] (aged 55)
🔺 Moscow, Russia
🔰 Mikhail Nekhemyevich Tal was a Soviet 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. His play was known above all for improvisation and unpredictability.
▪️ Wikipedia
MIKHAIL TAL, the Latvian who held the world chess championship from 1960 to 1961, was the most brilliant player of his era. In an age dominated by the scientific precision of Mikhail Botvinnik (who held the title on and off from 1948 to 1963), and the deep strategic play of Vassily Smyslov (champion 1957-58), good chess had acquired a ponderous quality. Tal brought back a spirit of adventure, with high-risk sacrificial attacks giving his games that swashbuckling flavour presumed lost with the great masters of the last century.
Tal's speed of calculation and imaginative vision were phenomenal. I saw him once presented with a highly unusual and, at any rate to mere mortals, very difficult position which could be won with a surprising series of moves. As soon as the final piece was placed on the board, Tal smiled, looked up and said: 'Yes, that's very beautiful.'
Yet it was not so such Tal's calculating power as his willingness to enter unfathomable complications and his ability to create turmoil that brought him success. With a single imaginative move, he could introduce wild possibilities, but the higher skill was in intensifying the difficulties until his opponents could no longer cope.
