hle othe playes only make sacces that they ae convnced ae sound, Tal ll sacce f he cannot pove t s unsound. He admtted makng dubous moves n s st match th otvnnk to put hm unde pessue. Ths pessue as nceased by the fact that Tal as one of the fastest playes n the old, so that hs opponents oen found themselves n tme touble. n such stuatons the etaton of an unsound sacce may be dscoveed only afte the game, gvng the mpesson that Tal as bo unde a lucy sta.

Fo hm, n a shapened touament stuaton, the soundness of a move as elatvely unmpotant; often, lke Laske, even aganst the stongest gandmastes, he chose the mes that caused the most poblems fo hs opponents. 18
For the last time it as in 197 tha he had a real chance to get to the old Chmionshi nal. n the Biel nterzonl he ed for second lace, bt did not qali because he lost t Portisch and Petosian in the plyoff. So the qeston of hat ould hve hpened had he layed another ttle match remained nansered for eve.

And in 1988, hen he on the rst orld Blitz Chess Championshp, comig ahead, among others, of Kaov nd the yong Kasarov, the con as ut on his head ocially, too. On he basi of his style he as st of all 9
considered a reat tactician but his ame as much deeper than spectacular tactic tics. His univesal chess olede is poved by his sensational achievements in classical competitive chess. He on the SU Championsip si times 1957 1958 1967 1972 1974 1978) settin thereb Botvin nis ecord. n 1979 in a tie ith the then old Champion Kapov belonin to the ne geneation he nished rst at the oneal Supetouament. Thus he advanced iht behind him to the second place in the orld rankin. He achieved his pea ratin 2705 in 1 980 at ae 44. Till the end of his rather short life he competed actively and as fo his stenth he as amon the ve o si stonest active playes of the old. Hoever the content of his ames is of even reater sinicance than his outstandin touament results. 2
