Record in the school diary
It is known that becoming the world champion in chess, Mikhail Tal continued to work in one of the Riga schools... a modest teacher of literature.
At one of his lessons a funny story happened: he noticed that during a lesson on a chess board located on the window, two students slowly played a game. White had all the chances to put mat in four moves, but not only missed this chance, but also fell under a devastating attack.
Teacher Tal demanded a journal of the violator of discipline, where he made a strict inscription for information of the parents: "I did not find mat in four moves in the lesson of literature!“”
