Let me start with one.

‘So do you hear the time Tal played chess with me on a fishing boat? So we hired a fishing boat and played chess together. At some point of the game he offered me a knight. It was to gain a positional advantage of course. If I had taken three knight, then it opened files for his rooks, launching an attack. Later in the game, he offered me a rook. When I calculated all the variations, it is too tactically win a queen. So of course, I refused it. Later on in the game, he sacrificed the fishing boat. When it was leaking we quickly carried out stuff. I fell on the riverbed twice. And I then realised it was to gain ab psychological advantage because I lost the game because I was to busy tending my wounds.’
