The Tal quote makes no sense to me.
It is not like you play chess in such a state ... 
The trembling and severe system shocks this game introduces, while opening up number of secondary corridors and sudden activity of your own strange agent figures, that you weren't even aware were employed. You have no chance of having an idea about their motives.

Sorry, I do not know "what Tal said", so I did not understand which part of the OP was a quote of Tal ...
Or was there no quote of Tal in it at all?
It's evil when I lose a game
And It's good when I win a game
I think OP's post was their own observation on evil and the Tal quote they were thinking about to compare their thoughts on evil was this:
"You must take your opponent into a deep, dark forest where 2+2=5 and the path leading out is only wide enough for one." -Mikhail Tal.
But to answer the question, in my country we also use chessboard as Ouija board.
"You must leading one." I like it. It's like a secret message revealed itself from the famous quote after decades of being frozen in a deep stasis. ( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~→
Thank you for explaining overall. The manifested sentence would act like a strong contradiction to the vicious fragmentation, which chess inevitably introduces. The division, which in the light of an opening sentence would directly lead to a landscape where evil relishes.
of course it is
No, its just a game, try to relax.
tell that to grand masters

A better way of putting the question... are Humans evil? Because they play and designed the game. And the answer... Yes. People are inherently evil. Or Evil, to be precise. Having seen and witnessed and... yes.

@OP Are you playing chess with evil ghosts? Quit! Before it's too late. Cheating with engines doesn't assure victory. The ghosts could take assistance from Chess Legends like Morphy, Tal, Alekhine, etc.
A strange type of nano-ghosts must that be. Constituting the reservior of a commanding influence.
“When one of us first plays chess, he is like a man who has already caught a dose of microbes...Such a man walks along the street, and he does not yet know that he is ill. He is healthy, he feels fine, but the microbes are doing their work.” — Mikhail Tal
That’s sexist
When confronted by evil, the wisest and most secure adult will usually experience confusion. We literally feel overwhelmed by the labyrinthine mass of lies and twisted motives and distorted communication into which we will be drawn if we attempt to work with evil people.
