I remember reading somewhere a story how at some tournament there were 5 strong GMs on a beach and Fischer approached them. He was asked if he could solve a chess puzzle that they had solved in a few minutes. Fischer tried and could not solve it on the spot. then he left and came back later with the solution, happy. The GMs were just joking because none of them could solve that puzzle. Does anybody recall the source of this story and what exactly was the puzzle? on a related note, are there any tactical chess problems that were tested on GMs? I am curious how well the engines will solve them. I keep hearing statements that the top engines are 3000 elo tactically, but have never seen any human calibration data.
