Are there any players like Mikhail Tal?

I can't seem to find any players similair to Tal is he really that unique/special? How did he get so good at playing/finding "crazy" sacrifices, thriving in complicated positions he played for and attacking chess in general or I guess such a unique playstyle? Is it because he perhaps possessed some extraodinary calculation and visualisation skills? Honestly I don't know what makes a great attacker so excuse me if I misunderstand since when I go for a sacrifice or some sort of aggressive attack it tends to be more reckless then brilliant.

Nobody is like Tal. https://www.chess.com/news/garry-kasparov-talks-about-mikhail-tal-and-soviet-chess-history-1340

Ok then, let's clean the air, put our cards on the table and rock the boat.

Not just visualization of future positions, JSB53, and extraordinary combinational vision, something that World Champion Botvinnik wrote about and he admitted could be found wanting in his games, but board vision, namely seeing what is right in front of you, the current position.  Frankly, I think exceptionally quick and accurate board vision and seeing all the imaginative possibilities may be paramount.

As far as those who play like Tal, at least somewhat, in the amateur realm there was the late Emory Tate and from an earlier era Emil Kemény, or so I read somewhere.  Regarding professional chess players there are in no particular order Rashid Nezhmetdinov, Alexi Shirov, Rudolf Spielmann and perhaps Alexander Alekhine.  Some would include Frank Marshall because of his love for attacking chess, even from the Black side.  There are probably others who could be added to the list.

Best,

Right. Rashid vs Tigran, two draws and three losses.

Here's an interesting game with Keres, which ended with a draw.

Am waiting 2 play

Wei Yi plays like Tal and even stronger.

Not only..but its true that the higher rated players are playing "safe" against him because his tactical strenght.

Crazy sacs, complications, attacking? Sounds like Kasparov. He did a load of crazy-looking but sound sacs, and no-one was more fiercely attacking.

Recent players not mentioned so far: Topalov and Morozevich.

Judit Polgar's games (& books) are also very entertaining, lots of amazing tactics based on seeing a move or 2 further than her opponents.

Funny guy.

He lost this game to Fischer, a very passive player.

Rossolimo.

Rossolimo once again.

Hillarious!

When Mikhail Tal fell ill, Fischer was the only player who visited him in hospital.

Vitolins.

Empty Tate

Igor Kovalenko

Alex Shirov

Alexander Shabalov

Alexander Morozevich

Julian Hodgson (so I've heard)

Rashad Nez

Rudolf Speelman

There are more but those are the most notable

Topalov is arguable in my opinion

True, Morozevich is a great player. Kramnik been playing similar lines, for reference see game Kramnik, Vladimir (2785) vs Korotylev, Alexey (2600), to Morozevich I mean, with white pieces.

Fischer was a very passive player?

Well, he is certainly not the one burning bridges.
