Descripción

Mikhail Tal’s Best Games 1-The Magic of Youth Mikhail Tal is one of the most celebrated chess

players of all time. The eighth World Champion not only won the title at a record young age, but did

so using a ferocious, high-risk attacking style. Tal’s spectacular games, along with his charming

personality and witty sense of humour, endeared him to the chess public like no other player.

Tibor Károlyi

Award-winning author Tibor Károlyi has written the definitive guide to Tal’s sparkling career.

Cutting-edge chess analysis is complemented by the engaging story of Tal’s career and other life

events. The book also contains numerous anecdotes from famous players who share their memories of Tal.

Mikhail Tal’s Best Games 1

In this, the first of three volumes, Károlyi explores Tal’s early life and career up to the end of 1959,

including his victory in the formidable Candidates tournament where he earned the right to challenge

Botvinnik for the world title.

The Magic of Youth

International Master Tibor Károlyi was Hungarian Champion in 1984 and is renowned as both an

author and a trainer. He won the Guardian Book of the Year prize in 2007.

 

Another nice touch is that Karolyi has asked many of Tal’s opponents about the games they played

with Tal and their impressions of Tal, which adds an extra human dimension to the book.

 

But of course, the most important thing about all these books are the games and the analysis and for

both I have only the fullest admiration. Perhaps the most impressive thing about Karolyi’s

annotations is that he doesn’t only focus on brilliant Tal attacks, but also spends a lot of time on

many of the weird and wonderful endgames that arose as a result of his sacrifices.

Tibor Károlyi

It feels a little bit like overdoing things to give 5 stars to a set of three books, but if any Best Games

collection has ever deserved it, then this one has! Don’t waste any time: get down to the bookshop

and enjoy!.
