Synopsis
Genna Sosonko's riveting portrait of Mikhail Tal, the Magician from Riga who to this day mesmerizes chess fans all over the world, bears all the hallmarks of the author's inimitable writing.

Mikhail Tal is only one of the chess greats that Sosonko brings to life in this collection of his best writings on World Champions. Two of them lived before his time: his story of Alexander Alekhine is based on fresh research; his intriguing portrait of José Raul Capablanca followed unforgettable encounters with Capa's widow Olga. Genna Sosonko got to know the other champions described here through his extensive travels as a chess pro. Countless hours of private conversation form the basis of his unique portraits of Max Euwe, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov and Tigran Petrosian.
