World Chess Championship 1961
text:
A World Chess Championship was played between former champion Mikhail Botvinnik and champion Mikhail Tal in Moscow from March 15 to May 13, 1961. Tal had unseated Botvinnik in the 1960 match; thus, Botvinnik was entitled to this rematch the next year. Tal was considered a strong favourite due to his heavy win the previous year, and being 25 years younger. Botvinnik won convincingly, by a 13–8 margin, regaining the world title. Although Tal suffered kidney illness in 1962, there was no hint of it
