This Week's World Chess Column: Tal in the Olympiads

Dennis Monokroussos in AGON, Mikhail Tal

It's an interesting fact that among players who have participated in four or more Chess Olympiads, the player with the highest scoring percentage is Mikhail Tal. There are some reasons that make it a little less surprising than it would otherwise be, but even so he's probably not the first name that would come to mind. Nevertheless, he owns that distinction, and in my column for World Chess this week I take a look at some of his finest games from various Olympiads from 1958 to 1974. There are few better ways to spend one's time as a chess fan than with Tal's games, so please have a look.
