Mikhail Tal is the first player who comes to mind when we speak about brilliant attacks, combinations and sacrifices in chess. However, Tal's magic didn't work against Viktor Korchnoi. Tal had a terrible score against Korchnoi (+4, -13, =27). In this video you will see one of the most interesting games played between these players. Korchnoi gradually squeezes Tal, then he sacrifices a pawn to initiate a strong attack and eventually checkmates Tal by bringing his king into the attack.
