Mikhail Tal, the "magician from Riga", was the greatest attacking World Champion of them all, and this enchanting autobiography chronicles his extraordinary career with charm and humor. Dazzling games are interspersed throughout with anecdotes and witty self-interviews, and in typically objective fashion he related both the downs and ups of his encounters. An inveterate smoker and drinker, Tal`s life on the circuit was punctuated by bouts in the hospital with kidney problems, but nothing could dull his love for chess and his sheer genius on the chessboard. His illustrious tournament record, up to his death in 1992, is included here in full, along with 100 complete games and nearly as many positions. Tal`s annotations in this book are a world apart from ordinary games collections. No reader could fail to be swept along by his passion and vitality as he sets the scene for an encounter and then recounts every psychological twist and turn.

Foreword by A. Karpov. In this book, the author considers the outstanding American grandmaster, world champion Robert Fisher from an unexpected angle: he is interested in how Fisher lost. It just so happened that chess masters, bringing their creativity to the court of readers, almost always tell only about victories. All of us are accustomed to see the instructive in the highest achievements, forgetting, perhaps, that defeats, by virtue of their sobering effects, teach more, although pride is much less fun. Mednis sees his task in highlighting the “moment of error” in each party and trying to explain it. Readers will see on the pages of the book not a mythical chess machine, but a Fischer man, who, like all mortals, is not alien to excitement and error, frivolity and negligence. The games of the great player Fisher, which may be especially lost to him, contain the richest chess experience and information for all of us. Recommended by highly qualified chess players, as well as in coaching. "A wonderful book, in my opinion." V. Ivanchuk (from an interview with E. Surov).
