I agree that humans have wishes and dreams but strong humans do not evaluate
positions as +5.06 like tal did at move 34 if they do not see a forced line to
win.

I am sure that they will prefer to go for positions like the following position
that is only 2 pawns advanatge but a clear win if they can.

[D]6r1/5kpp/8/8/8/8/3KPPPP/5R2 w - - 0 1

If tal does not evaluate the last position as more than +5.06 then something is
wrong with tal's evaluation.
