Few players have captured the public imagination like the former
World Champion Mikhail Tal. With his unique attacking style, he
dazzled the chess world on the way to becoming the youngest ever
World Champion (at that time) in 1960, winning friends around the
world for both his entertaining play and engaging personality.
Although Tal's championship reign was brief, he continued to
delight his many fans with brilliant sacrificial games until his
death in 1992. In this book Grandmaster Joe Gallagher takes a fresh
look at Tal's games and career, focusing on the previously
neglected period from 1975 to 1992 during which he played some of
his most accomplished chess. Despite periodic bouts of ill-health
Tal occupied a place in the world's top ten for most of this
period, winning any top-class events and securing dozens of
wonderful victories, many of which are annotated in detail here. (6
