Tal-Botvinnik, 1960

Mikhail Tal, Al Lawrence

Written and annotated by Tal, this is the fascinating tale of how the "Magician of Riga" (Mikhail Tal) toppled the titanic Botvinnik in 1960 to become the eighth world chess champion (and the youngest ever at that time).

Tal was a great writer, and these are long and detailed annotations. Equally entertaining are the tidbits where Tal describes his mental state both between and during the matches.
