    Mikhail Tal is no doubt one of the greatest chess champions that soviet russia ever produced. He is in many sense different from the normal soviet players who emerge out of the soviet chess school. They are all positional players and give more emphasis to strategy than sound or unsound tactics but Tal was different in many ways. Possibly the greatest tactical player ever in the history of the chess world championships.
