Tal said that when he makes a move, only his pieces get in the way. That's like Reagen saying "When I make a speech, only my mind gets in the way." Or Reggie Jackson saying, "When I ground into a double play, only my bat gets in the way." Or Dolly Parton saying, "When I do pushups, only my chest gets in the way." Tal should stop making excuses. -- Steve Silberberg

For those of you who may not remember, Tal is a former world champion, and one of the greatest attacking players chess has ever seen. The quote used refers to his heavily sacrificial lines of attack, and his all out will to win. HE NEEDS NO EXCUSE!!!!!!!!!
