Is "Mr. Mitchell" supposed to be me?

In all of the cases I cited, it's clear that Tal is talking about what
he saw during the game, not about his after-the-fact analysis.

Tal does quite a bit of this in his books. He'll give notes from
after-the-fact analysis, but he tends to focus much more than most
players on what he saw, when, and what his motivations were for playing.

So, nice try, but you're actually completely wrong here.
