Magic of Mikhail Tal

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 many top-class events and securing dozens of wonderful victories, many of which are annotated in detail here.
