A remarkable book by the widow of Mischa Tal, Sally Landau. No chess moves in this book and also not a single diagram. Instead, the story of a loving wife (widow) who wishes to share her fond memories with a greater public. And a selection of pictures from the family album. "For me Mischa has always remained only 'mine'; my first husband, my friend, father of our son Gary. I very much wanted to write this book to tell our story, show my female emotions, and to our son Gary, that he can read about a beloved person, even if he cannot play chess himself", writes Sally Landau.
