Tal gets the deep dive he deserves in FritzTrainer's second Master Class installment. The program pulls apart the eighth world champion's games and career through video instruction from Rogozenco, Marin, Reeh, and Müller.
What makes this worthwhile: Tal demands study. His play looked magical because it rested on concrete calculation, not intuition. The training material dissects his openings, middlegame tactics, strategy, and endgame work. Two showcase games anchor the lessons. The first, against Medina, displays how far Tal could see ahead in attacking positions. The Spassky game reveals the same ruthless precision under tournament pressure.
This isn't hagiography. FritzTrainer treats Tal as a serious player to learn from, not just a romantic figure from chess history. His attacking style produced the goods. His calculation saved him from the pitfalls of pure fantasy chess. The format lets you study alongside experts who understand what made him tick.
If you want to sharpen your own tactical vision and understand how a world champion actually thought during attacks, this covers the ground. Tal's imagination had teeth. The Master Class shows you both.
