Here is a terrible chess joke:

One day Mikhael Tal decided to play Tigran Petrosian.  After many moves, Petrosian lost.  Tal then went on to beat every GM in the world in a simul.  The problem is, this could never actually happen, there are too many GMs.  So apparently, that makes it a Tal tale!

terrible joke, I know

Both went on to make a successful career as writers of chess books. Look out for these ones (probably by now long out-of-print) :

Petrosian's Eye of the Tiger (Don't let go of the Tal)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_kxtfULTFU,

and Maxe Euwe's classic: Euwe can do it! (if you really want)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSKM0xvNNqw
