Tal Thread

Mikhail Tal, in 1959, beat Bobby Fischer 4 times in chess matches. Arguably one of the most successful players against Fischer. Is anyone else a chess fan here?

At one time I ran a chess club with some friends and often find similarities in chess and music. I find the cretivity in the game to be very in the moment like music.

A number of years ago the World Chess Championship was held in Salt Lake City. It was a fascinating event to watch.

The best ranked player I ever beat was 2035. It was great to win in an environment where there was not a soul that though I could win.

How you been, Russ?

Not like you to be hanging out here in the low-rent district... :p
 
That was pretty fancy. This thread is ripe for a hijack.
