Written in an entertaining style with many games ... - This is an absolutely splendid book. I have many books of games by Tal and this is the best. Written in an entertaining style with many games annotated by Tal himself without the plethora of computerised variations which normally accompany modern collections of chess games. Other reviewers have said that it is the best chess book ever written and I'm inclined to go along with this but with my personal reservation that it is ONE of the best chess books ever written and can be placed comfortably in the company of Kasparov's best work, Chernev's Golden Dozen and Bronstein's coverage of the Zurich Interzonal Tournament of 1953. Worth every penny or cent of the price and a definite for inclusion in the desert island allocation! Review: A superb read - A wonderful and thorough self analysis of games by this one time chess World Champion, superb translation with all the wit and verve of the author and staggering attacking chess. A heady but utterly worthwhile read for any chess fan who is beyond beginner and wants to see how a true chess magician really attacks in daring style! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 245,230 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 269 in Chess (Books) 560 in Indoor Games 23,547 in Biographies & Memoirs (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (451) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 3.18 x 21.59 cm | | Edition | 2nd Revised edition | | ISBN-10 | 1857442024 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1857442021 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 496 pages | | Publication date | 5 July 1997 | | Publisher | Everyman Chess | ## Images ![The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal (Chess Games Collection) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91rjOae9FHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have many books of games by Tal and this is the best. Written in an entertaining style with many games ... *by T***S on 14 December 2014* This is an absolutely splendid book. I have many books of games by Tal and this is the best. Written in an entertaining style with many games annotated by Tal himself without the plethora of computerised variations which normally accompany modern collections of chess games. Other reviewers have said that it is the best chess book ever written and I'm inclined to go along with this but with my personal reservation that it is ONE of the best chess books ever written and can be placed comfortably in the company of Kasparov's best work, Chernev's Golden Dozen and Bronstein's coverage of the Zurich Interzonal Tournament of 1953. Worth every penny or cent of the price and a definite for inclusion in the desert island allocation! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superb read *by S***S on 7 January 2024* A wonderful and thorough self analysis of games by this one time chess World Champion, superb translation with all the wit and verve of the author and staggering attacking chess. A heady but utterly worthwhile read for any chess fan who is beyond beginner and wants to see how a true chess magician really attacks in daring style! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life and Games of a genius. *by Q***I on 1 June 2020* What can I say? Mischa's games enthralled every Chess enthusiast like a tonic. (free Gin included) If anybody wants to see fireworks in Chess games, Mischa is the one. May be Alekhine, Fischer and Kasparov as well. This is not a game of Chess like most commentators use for football matches. This is the explosive Chess of a genius. I bought it for the Novelty and Beauty of it although I, myself play more like Karpov if not Petrosian (the original) style. ## Frequently Bought Together - Life & Games of Mikhail Tal - Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49878097-the-life-and-games-of-mikhail-tal-chess-games-collection](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49878097-the-life-and-games-of-mikhail-tal-chess-games-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
