A Tal Tale

Submitted by benws on Fri, 09/05/2008 at 12:57pm.

In this game, Tal appears to be focused on the queenside, but after a mistake by his opponent, he switches to the kingside. The result is a brilliant tactical display followed by mate.

Very nice game, although there were some mistakes in your notation for the subvariations.
