Mikhail Tal, "The magician from Riga"

                   
Mikhail Tal was often called "The magician from Riga" for his daring combinational style. And when you are getting too famous for this style...Well, here is a quote from Mikhail Tal: 

"It's funny, but many people don't understand why I draw so many games nowadays. They think my style must have changed but this is not the case at all. The answer to this drawing disease is that my favorite squares are e6, f7, g7 and h7 and everyone now knows this. They protect these squares not once but four times!" 

A great book written by Mikhail Tal is "The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal".
Look inside the book at Amazon.
