      Why was Benko using sunglasses ? Is it to avoid Tahl's famous ( and somewhat strange ) glare ?

      I'm an fan of Mikhail Tahl, and hoping to understand someday his sacs and tactical spots.

      The scene at 0:05 reminds me of Tahl's famous photo of his game with Padevsky, from Kasparov's My Great Predecessors.

      Unfortunately, there are only a few videos of Tahl's. It's nice to see this chess genius on the job !

      Many thanks !
