By Mikhail Tal

GREAT CHESS STORIES AND TOP-NOTCH ANALYSIS BY THE 'MAGICIAN FROM RIGA'

The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal is universally celebrated and by many considered one of the greatest chess books of all time. The memoir of the 8th World Champion is narrated in a conversational style, describing the high highs and the low lows of one of the most tumultuous chess careers of the 20th century.

Tal's passion for chess is present on every page and virulently infectious. His honesty and humour will charm anyone who reads this book, and they will never be able to look at chess again without a strong romantic feeling.

This edition is thoroughly updated, without losing the soul of the beloved original.
