“Meetings with Mikhail Tal” Dvoretsky’s autobiography Volume 1

“Tal asked me to show him a drawn game in which my opponent had clearly tried to simplify the game. I showed a King’s Indian game where White took on e5, traded queens, and then, of course, earned a quick draw. What anyone could find in such a dull, silly position, I could not fathom.
But when we dissected this game together, Tal found so many interesting ideas that never crossed my mind! Maybe some of them were questionable or even incorrect. It did not matter! His limitless ingenuity impressed me very deeply. Unfortunately, I did not write down the moves and variations that Tal suggested. Now, I have only memories of that analysis, and, alas, cannot show the cascade of ideas born in the mind of a genius chess player.”
