Chess biographies for club-beginner level?

I'd like to read a good chess biography, a biography (or autobiography) that is both an interesting story and includes some games and game analysis/explanation along the way.

There are plenty of books like this out there but I'm finding that the game analysis is quite challenging for me to follow. I'm a club player but relatively new to club play, 1500-1600 ECF standard and 1500 chess.com rapid

An example of too difficult for me: Tal's My Life and Games. I like the book but I can't follow the lines without a board, and I'm rarely reading with a board in front of me. Ideal for me would be a book like Tal's but with game explanations that are pitched to the level of Chernev's Logical Chess

"I can't follow the lines without a board"

I'm afraid that this will be the case for most books.

I'm sure there were also many complex lines in the games covered by Chernev that he simply didn't get into, to keep his focus on the points he wanted to make in each game. Though, personally, even for Chernev's books I used a board to follow them through.

I've always read games from books with a board. You could even use a phone app, which would allow you to go into variations and back to the original position more easily than a physical set.

The best way to read a games collection is with a board to guess the next move, but I also often read when a board isn't available. Winning Chess Brilliancies by Seirawan includes frequent diagrams and some brief biographical sketches.

Bobby Fischer Goes to War: How the Soviets Lost the Most Extraordinary Chess Match of All Time by David Edmonds and John Eidinow

This book reads like a political thriller rather than a dense chess manual. It focuses on the cultural and political drama of the 1972 World Championship match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. The chess moves themselves are secondary to the fascinating story, making it highly accessible and gripping for any reader, regardless of chess skill.
