well... every top master needs a nemesis.
happens all the time in chess, tennis, heck, even golf sometimes.
But our scores will be settled soon my friend 😉
Originally posted by PatzergrlI wouldn't say 'the' advantage.. just 'a' advantage.. I like talking about the games as they're played.

On the other hand a little bit of overconfidence never hurt anyone 😛

Tal who? I agree with Symlov when he said Tal just uses tricks...or Korchnoi for saying "Tal is an average player"

Doesn't look average to me.
Or how about this game... the game immediately before Korchnoi is quoted saying that...

Go Tal!

I can say for sure: If there were so many talanted players which did not become world champion, then players who could do it definetly were not average. And its well-known that Tal was one of the most talented world champions.
