"""Another nice touch is that Karolyi has asked many of Tal's opponents about the games they played with Tal and their impressions of Tal, which adds an extra human dimension to the book. But of course, the most important thing about all these books are the games and the analysis and for both I have only the fullest admiration. Perhaps the most impressive thing about Karolyi's annotations is that he doesn't only focus on brilliant Tal attacks, but also spends a lot of time on many of the weird and wonderful endgames that arose as a result of his sacrifices. It feels a little bit like overdoing things to give 5 stars to a set of three books, but if any Best Games collection has ever deserved it, then this one has! Don't waste any time: get down to the bookshop and enjoy!"" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess ""Károlyi's monograph about Mikhail Tal is one of the most extensive and detailed to have been published. The volumes are ideal reference works and wonderful, carefully analysed game collections."" -- Harry Schaack, KARL magazine ""Tibor Karolyi and his three-volume series leaves no questions unanswered. I can warmly recommend this book to lovers of beautiful, sacrificial games."" -- IM Dirk Schuh, Rochade Europa ""Older chess players are delighted when they hear the name of Tal, but some younger ones have no idea who he was. So it is good that he should be rescued from oblivion through the trilogy by Tibor Karolyi, which is completed with The Invincible."" -- Bab Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad"
