▪️ Mikhail Tal
▪️ Latvian-Soviet chess grandmaster


♦️ Mikhail 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.

🔸Full name: Mikhail Nekhemievich Tal
🔸Country: Latvia
🔸Born: 9 November 1936 Riga, Latvia
🔸Died: 28 June 1992 (aged 55) Moscow, Russia
🔸Title: Grandmaster (1957)
🔸World Champion: 1960–61
🔸Peak rating: 2705 (January 1980)

♦️Mikhail Nekhemievich Tal was born in Riga, Latvia (annexed by the USSR in 1940). At 6, he learned chess from his father, a medical doctor (source: Tal interview in <Chess Life>, May 1967). He won his first Latvian Championship in 1953, and earned the title of Soviet Master the following year. In 1957, he became the youngest-ever Soviet Champion. In 1960, following a string of victories in strong tournaments (including a second consecutive Soviet Championship, the Portorož Interzonal and the Candidates in Yugoslavia), he became the youngest World Chess Champion with a match victory over Mikhail Botvinnik. This record was broken by Garry Kasparov in 1985. Suffering from poor health, he lost the rematch the next year. He never qualified for a title match again.
♦️Tal was also a noted chess journalist and author. In his autobiography, The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal, he annotates 100 of his greatest games.

⚫️#241 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Tal
🔸Agzamov
🔸USSR, 1981

📕 1...d4!
A typical move in Isolated Queen Pawn Positions. Black uses the power of the diagonal battery "queen+bishop". The knight on f3 is the main defender of the White's king, and his overload is felt constantly.
