Astonishing but you can count on Tal if it comes to the >endgame. Tal patzers in endgames are normal. Tal won 2 games in the endgame against Junior(total result 2:2) and won one game in ICC in the endgame against Hiarcs(120/40 when tal had a slight hardware adavantage pIII550 vs PIII500). These games were not by thorsten so maybe Tal is sometimes not so bad in the endgame with good hardware. Uri
