Mikhail Tal
This tactics training book gives you the opportunity
to get in the shoes of the most famous attacking
player of all time. It offers one hundred
training exercises in positions the former World
Champion turned in his favour. Can you be as
imaginative as Mikhail Tal was?
Mikhail Tal (1936-1992) was the 8th World
Champion in the history of chess. In 1960 he defeated
Mikhail Botvinnik in a World Championship
match by 12,5-8,5. At that moment the
‘Magician from Riga’ was 23 years old, and he
became the youngest World Champion ever.
Although Tal lost his world title one year later in
a rematch against Botvinnik, every chess lover
will remember him as a unique player. Not only
because he won the Soviet Championship six
times, but also due to his sensational attacking
style. The chess wizard was never afraid to sacrifice
material to bring fireworks to the board. Two
quotes of the former World Champion: There
are two types of sacrifices: correct ones, and
mine.’ And: ‘I will not hide the fact that I love to
hear the spectators react after a sacrifice of a
piece or pawn. I don’t think that there is anything
bad in such a feeling; no artist or musician
is indifferent to the reactions of the public.’
Tal enjoyed chess as he enjoyed life. Unfortunately,
his heavy drinking and chain smoking led
to serious health problems. At the age of 55 the
genius had to pay the price for his bohemian lifestyle.
On 28 June 1992 he passed away. However,
no true chess fan will ever forget this great
tactician, because he played several immortal
games.
