Kings of the Chessboard

Grandmaster Paul van der Sterren (1956- ), was one of the strongest chess players of the Netherlands. He became

twice national champion and represented his country eight times during the Chess Olympiads. in 2001 he retired

from being an active player and focused on writing books drawn from his rich chess experience. This is his first

English chess book written for Thinker’s Publishing.

Paul van der Sterren

People who are really, really good at something – unbelievably good, incomprehensibly good, have always held a

strong fascination for those fellow humans who are less extraordinarily gifted. In this respect chess does not

differ from other areas of human endeavour. To many chess lovers watching the great champions do battle with

each other is even more thrilling than actually playing the game themselves.

Kings of the Chessboard

This book is about the greatest chess players who ever lived, who dominated their era and were looked upon as

World Champions even at a time when this term, this very concept, did not yet exist. On the basis of a short

biography, a selection of their most famous games and a brief characteristic of their playing style I will attempt to

illuminate what made these great players great and what their significance is for the chess world. This will also

give an overview of how chess itself has developed over the past two and a half centuries: how it has essentially

remained the same, yet changed almost beyond recognition.
