Tal's career path, covering his loss to Botvinnik in the revenge
match, but also the triumphs of Bled 1961 and Tal's remarkable

and Kasparov as the undisputed archetypes of aggression on the 64
squares

stunningly speculative Soviet Grandmaster Boris Spassky through
where he conquers Petrosian, on to the celebrated match of the
century against the mercurial Bobby Fischer. Contains the very best
of Boris Spassky.
