I've been going through Tal's book of his match with Botvinnik in which he won the World Championship. That was 1960. Here is a photo of him in 1962. The video shows him playing chess with Gary Kasparov shortly before Tal's death at age 55. Very sad...........

And here is that blitz game taken form Volume II of Kasparov's Great Predecessors series. Kasparov says that he survived the attack, but lost to Tal on time. A respectful tribute by Kasparov to Tal, IMO.
