Description
The 4th Candidates' Tournament, 1959 was a pivotal event in chess history, marked by dramatic victories and unexpected upsets. Mikhail Tal's rise to World Championship was fueled by his performances in this tournament, including his three wins over a strong opponent. Meanwhile, Bobby Fischer's appearance on the world stage was a significant moment, with several of his games from this tournament featured in his collection of 'Memorable Games'. Other notable players, including Smyslov and Gligori, added to the tournament's drama, with Fischer's lopsided scores against the top-finishing players ultimately deciding the outcome. This book provides a detailed account of the tournament, featuring the games and strategies of the top players.
