Mikhail Tal - Genius or a Madman?

Mikhail Tal is certainly one of the most fascinating players to play the game of Chess. His extremely aggressive style made him very unpredictable to the point where his opponents would never know when and where to expect the strike. His attacks were like an inferno and no one was safe from them. In this course we will try to figure out how was he able to think so different from his opponents, what made him so special and how can we become more like him.
