When I think of sacrificing I think of Tal, and when I think of gradual positional improvement I think of Petrosian. Is there similarly a chess player that was particularly known for counterplay and finding resources in lost/drawn positions?

Got it, interesting! I wonder if tactics/calculation goes hand in hand with counterplay. A lot of puzzles seem to start with the side to play in a position of weakness, and then suddenly finding a crushing tactical shot.
