Mikhail Tal Obliterates A Greedy French Defense - Tal vs. Uhlmann, 1971

Few would capture a poisoned pawn against Mikhail Tal, but evidently, GM Wolfgang Uhlmann thought the c3-pawn was only slightly poisoned pawn. Missing Tal's amazing knight sacrifice to open the e-file, he fell victim to one of Tal's finest miniateures.
Lessons:
* Don't take poisoned pawns.
* Castle early.
* Open the e-file against an uncastled king.

I wonder what these people playing against Tal in 1970s were thinking :) - Tal was a World Champion from 1960, he was known for sacrifices that were unsound but almost always brought him compensation with exact play and here he offers you a pawn in a simple two-ply tactic - would you accept the gift thinking "oh, i found a tactic that Tal has missed"? instead of castling your king?

I think its wierd that Uhlman did not played his recomended move in his book against the tarrach wich is Nf6, instead of c5, also, whata fantastic game by Tal
