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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is Tal's own classic work on the contest. In it he sets the stage and explains every one of the 21 games, telling both the on- and off-the-board story of this titanic clash of styles and thought. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis seventh edition is supplemented by German grandmaster Karsten Müller's new Foreword and a moving essay by former USCF Executive Director Al Lawrence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFind out why this book is widely regarded as one of the best chess books every written...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769862455584,"sku":"9781941270424","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d78986c5098f25f666e0ea10dd36fd6f.webp?v=1780358528","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tal-botvinnik-1960-match-for-the-world-chess-championship-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
