Your Result: Mikhail Tal
Mikhail Tal (November 9, 1936 – June 28, 1992)was a Soviet-Latvian chess player, a Grandmaster, and the eighth World Chess Champion. He was often called "Misha" (a diminutive for Mikhail) and also "The magician from Riga" for his daring combinational style. Both The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games (Burgess, Nunn & Emms 2004) and Modern Chess Brilliancies (Evans 1970) include more games by Tal than any other player. Tal was also a highly-regarded chess writer. |
