The Chess Alchemist cover

Mikhail Tal is one of the most celebrated World Champions in chess history, who confounded his opponents and dazzled chess fans around the world. Seemingly breaking every rule in the book, yet also breaking records with his accomplishments, Tal truly was The Chess Alchemist.

In this unique book, Oleg Stetsko has compiled 80 of Tal's most interesting games, as annotated by the Magician himself in a variety of sources, many of which have been translated into English for the very first time here.

"I always have the feeling that I was somehow involved in the struggle when I read Tal's annotations! A lovely book for anyone still looking to start their Tal collection! 4 stars!" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
