This may be the ultimate Bobby Fischer v. Mikhail Tal pairing ever.

My 60 Memorable Games: the book that Fischer himself wrote; an exercise in the garden of a brilliant mind. This is a first printing of the first edition. I've added photographs of the back cover and spine. The cover has taken some damage.

Mikhail Tal was Bobby Fischer's earliest and most lovable rival. They were good friends in spite of that.  Tal went on a tear, winning the USSR Championship twice, the Interzonal, the Candidates Tournament, and then the world championship in 1960.  Sadly, poor health robbed him both of many fine games and many years of his life. Here are 100 of his best games, compiled by British master Bernard Cafferty.
