[edit] Playing style

"However, it has been reported that partly this style is related to an unusual rule for moving knights in that region, where they are unable to move backwards, only forwards; this forces unusual strategies on players." As far as I understand the article in reference was a joke and there is no evidence that Tal used to play by such rules. I think the sentence is misleading. (193.68.74.52 14:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC))

It is a joke, and I already removed it before checking this discussion page. It is unfortunate that you didn't simply remove it yourself... In the future, pls be bold. Themindset 18:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
