  • tal and fidcher were good friends, fischer even visits tal on a hospital

  • Fischer must have been thrilled to be playing in the same tournament with Tal. Fischer had a lot of respect for Tal and he learned some of his psychological tricks too.

  • Excellent footage, Monk was inspired choice. Question: why was Tal's right hand deformed? I assume birth defect but never heard exact cause.

  • @HiTechOilCo Hmmmm you may have a point. Thanks!

  • @schusterlehrling - Bobby Fischer, "lacking in imagination and originality"?! Bobby Fischer made some of the greatest contributions to chess opening theory of all time!

  • @guyNbluejeans - Chess computer programs don't have any imagination and can't play great psychological chess, as both Fischer and Tal did. Chess computers don't play in chess tournaments, or win any prize money only people do. The play of a human vs another human is always superior to that of a mere computer.

  • 0,13... The great magician...

    very beautiful image... Tahl and his look...

    

  • They use that background music for the Philosophy Talk radio show.

  • So who was the GREATEST chess player of them all? AND, will there ever be a player that beats today's modern and best chess computer program(s)?

    Thanks in advance for any and all of your friendly comments!!

  • that music is great

  • small mistake in the intro, the Tal vs Benko sunglasses game was a draw

  • @veridia No to be a good man one only has to be true to his family, and act in such a way that he can look at himself in the mirror in the morning and at night with pride with what he has done.
