Chess Trivia (for people who are people fans of Mikhail Tal)

@RamblinDave I know Fischer visited Tal in hospital and that the two had great respect for one another as friends and as chess players. It would be hard to find two people whose lives were more consumed by chess. Both of them were obsessed with chess (Fischer abandoning that obsession sometime in the mid 1970's)
I also love Tal's analysis of Larsen Vs. Fischer (in 1971) Tal understood that Larsen was doomed after the first game.

I lot of people don't know about Tal's right hand deformity.
That's a great game! I've actually never studied any non-Tal Polugaevsky games.

They don't yet understand English either (how can a positional sac be deemed an "inaccuracy"?!).

The thing is Stockfish assumes existence of perfect play (which actually doesn't exist) and it says only on that basis doesn't account for plausible human induced errors.
