[@stevetren9248]

Tal's playing style wasn't always technically sound, but I think he knew that. He played in a way that his opponents feared, aggressive and relentless attacking. He very much played the person in front of him and made him crack nearly every time. In many games escape was possible but amazingly difficult to find. Modern GM's can take a lesson in his ways, always trying to play the perfect engine move and never taking risks.

[@josephjoestar77]

The thing is that, computational chess have advanced chess games to a whole new different level compared to the days Tal played, and the overly aggressive style that Tal uses won't work today as shown by Magnus when he's maturing from his attacking style when he was young Don't get me wrong, Tal's games are still so enjoyable to watch. Just want to point out that his style won't work against modern day Super GMs

[@shreeyamittal1771]

"There are two types of sacrifices: correct ones, and mine." So yeah, he did know it. But he was a master at complicating the position so much that his opponents would hesitate to go for the sharpest continuations, at which point he just went all out.

[@lucifermorningstar3493]

HBD to the peerless Tal. My dad’s hero. They are roughly the same age and my dad always loved to play like Tal.

[@ramachandra776]

Mikhail Tal was colourful on and off the board. he was once kissed by Miguel Najdorf for one of his moves . 😁 . One of his quotes always stuck with me “Quiet moves often make a stronger impression than a wild combination with heavy sacrifices.” Also , Vishy Anand and Tal played only one game when Tal health was in serious decline and he passed away a short while later . One of the few chess players to have a positive score against Fischer .

[@anirbanghosh1217]
