| | Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Gallagher is generous towards those who for some strange reason have still not read The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal, as he devotes an introductory 28 pages to covering Tal's career up until 1975. |
 | | Gallagher's variations are fully Fritz-checked, whilst, although many of the selected games are quite famous, the annotations are very original as Gallagher initially annotated each game on his own, only later going back to amend with annotations, usually of an inferior standard, from other works. |
 | | I leave Gallagher to give the final reason, on top of his high quality analysis and good biography, as to why readers should want to purchase this book, namely as Tal was "a man who had no equal in bringing chess games to life". |
