Synopsis

THE SEVENTH EDITION OF TAL'S CLASSIC WORK -Mikhail Tal's splendid account of his world championship match victory is one of the masterpieces of the golden age of annotation - before insights and feelings and flashes of genius were reduced to mere moves and Informant symbols. This is simply the best book written about a world championship match by a contestant.

Find out why this book is widely regarded as one of the best chess books every written...
