The Man Who Beat Mikhail Tal

If you have seen the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer, you may remember one of the Washington Square Park hustlers who held a sign offering a photograph or a game with the man who beat Mikhail Tal. Just like most of the movie's chess characters, this guy really existed. His name was Josif Israel Zilber.
