Wilhelm Steinitz, the winner of the first official World Chess Championship in 1886, would have rubbed
his eyes in disbelieve if he could have seen how popular chess is today.
With millions of players all around the world, live internet transmissions of major and minor
competitions, and educational programs in thousands of schools, chess has truly become a global
passion.
And what would Steinitz, who had financial problems his whole life and died in poverty, have thought of
the current world champion, Magnus Carlsen, who became a multi-millionaire in his early twenties just
by playing great chess?
The history of the World Chess Championship reflects these enormous changes, and Andre Schulz tells
the stories of the title fights in fascinating detail: the historical and social backgrounds, the prize money
and the rules, the seconds and other helpers, and the psychological wars on and off the board.
Relive the magic of Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Tal, Karpov, Kasparov, Bobby Fischer and the
others!
Andre Schulz has selected one defining game from each championship, and he explains the moves of the
Champions in a way that is easily accessible for amateur players.
This is a book that no true chess lover wants to miss.
Andre Schulz is a respected German chess journalist. He is the editor-in-chief of the ChessBase
