He was a true master of the attack on the king. Tal showed that the need for a good attack, unexpected solutions, endless sacrifices, even if not always correct in terms of computer analysis. In the hands of the party of such attacks are difficult to defend, and that therefore it is necessary to closely monitor how Tal led his attacks, and to learn from him the art. Though Tal and used to say: "There are two types of attacks: correct and mine" - it's just self-irony, a joke, in which, of course, there is some truth.
