Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2000 Trade Paperback. 220 pp. "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. That shouldn't be a surprise because Tal was the finest writer to become world champion."-International Grandmaster and popular chess columnist Andy Soltis.

The young attacking genius Mikhail Tal, the 'Wizard of Riga, ' put the magic back into the game by defeating Botvinnik with spectacular tactics in one of the most dramatic and celebrated world championship matches of all time.
