#i found it for free on internet archive so wahoo

[seaquestions]

the life and games of mikhail tal is really good so far, it’s a pretty accessible read! i tend to pay attention best when i read aloud, and the format of an interview is good for that. the chess games are not so easy to follow, there’s not many diagrams and its mostly just notation (or, chess gibberish) but i’m not reading it for the games anyway so that’s fine by me. i’m just here for mr. tal’s colour commentary and anecdotes. he seems quite charming.
