    About this ebook

    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.
