There are tons of games, I mean like 2000+ for just 4 buck, and all have very good incites into Tal's aggressive style, you can also studied the defences, and the computer included helps the analysis. You can also make notes of a sort, like if you think that move is better than the other, you can try it and the app logs it in the move script for you. Overall it's very nice for analyzing some absolutely amazing play.

Too many ads, interruptions. Tactical moves are excellent but would like to play game out to its conclusion.

Learning Tal's games with annotation? And Tests that ensure you know (and understand) the moves? Great app. I have played and replayed games 1 & 2 so many times. It's truly a gift to learn Tal played.
