Tal-like players that were not relatively known.
Looking for suggestions of players that played like Tal,Nezhmetdinov, etc.

Eichborn
Some say he was not as strong as the results say (probably true).
But look at his games. They are Morphy like.

Did he only save his best games.

Current Generation, I think I would put GM Simon Williams and GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave on the list.

Re: Tal-like players that were not relatively known.
That's the conjecture. Probably a reasonable one. At any rate, the games we do have recorded are fantastic. It was not just Eichborn who recorded his games, there are a number of them in the chess publications of the time.
Marvelous games. I am surprised we don't hear more about him like we do about Paul Morphy or Mir Sultan Khan or some of the other prodigies.

Re: Tal-like players that were not relatively known.
I had not heard of Louis Eichborn until you mentioned him, and for that I am grateful Dann. I was able to locate 36 of his games on the chessgames.com site.Dann Corbit wrote:That's the conjecture.
