Wersja w miękkiej okładce. Książka wydana w jęz. angielskim
In this, the second of three volumes, award-winning author Tibor Károlyi continues his groundbreaking exploration of Tals sparkling career.

This book examines some of the golden years of Tals career, from 1960 to 1971. Despite losing his world title in a return match against Botvinnik, Tal remained one of the strongest, not to mention most popular and entertaining, players in the world. As in the first volume, cutting-edge chess analysis is complemented by the engaging story of Tals life and career. The book also contains numerous anecdotes from famous players who share their memories of the Magician from Riga.
International Master Tibor Károlyi was Hungarian Champion in 1984 and is renowned as both an author and a trainer. He won the Guardian Book of the Year prize in 2007.

Reviews
"The notes to the games in the present volume, which traces Tals journey from winning the World Championship to 1971 when he was still among the worlds elite, are first rate. Readable, yet with plenty of concrete variations when needed, Karolyis annotations are insightful...
No chess player can fail to love Mikhail Tals Best Game 2: 1960-1971"
