The year is 1987 and Kasparov is still the young World Champion and Tal is in his last years, but, still in the top ten in the world! Kasparov, Garry vs Tal, Mikhial 1987 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 0-0 5.Bd3 d5 6.cxd5 exd5 7.Nge2 c5 8.0-0 Nc6 9.a3 cxd4 10.exd4 Bxc3 11.bxc3 Ne7 12.Qc2 Bd7 13.Bg5 Ng6 14.f4 h6 15.Bxf6 Qxf6 16.f5! Ne7 17.Ng3 Nc8 18.Rf4! Nd6 19.Qf2 Rfe8 20.Nh5! Qd8 21.Nxg7!! Ne4 22.Bxe4 Rxe4 23.f6 Kh7 24.Rxe4! dxe4 25.Qf4 Bc6 26.Re1 Qf8 27.c4 Qxa3 28.Nf5 Qf8 29.Re3! Bd7 30.Rg3 Bxf5 31.Qxf5+ and Black resigns 0-1 This game struck me as Kasparov was playing like a contemporary version of his famous opponent. Lloyd
