Check it out. I saw someone say it's a live-action sports anime and while I would never watch an anime I assume that's an accurate description. You'd be shocked how exciting they can make chess look in this show.

    A close relative of mine was actually friends with him. They were out drinking at a party one night and got completely wasted and Tal invited the relative over to his place to play a game of late night chess. It was a draw but the relative was always absolutely convinced afterwards that despite being almost black out drunk Tal was just playing along and let him end in a draw so as to not hurt his feelings.

      Lol I've tried to play chess almost black out drunk, it is easier than you might expect, but definitely nowhere close to being a good idea lol

        I can imagine. But I guess that much talent doesn't even quit when your blacking out :D
