Volume 1

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

First in a planned series of probably five books, this first volume focuses on the play of champions Wilhelm Steinitz (1886-1894), Emanuel Lasker (1894-1921), Jose Capablanca (1921-1927) and Alexander Alekhine (1927-1935 and 1937-1946).
Volume 2
This volume focuses on the era represented by the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth World Champions - Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov, and Tal. As did Part I, the current volume covers the era represented by the World Champions, not just the champions themselves. He then tries to demonstrate the development of chess thought as represented by the games of all these great players."
Volume 3
The battle for the World Chess Championship has witnessed numerous titanic struggles which have engaged the interest not only of the chess enthusiasts but also of the public at large. The chessboard is the ultimate mental battleground and the world champions themselves are supreme intellectual gladiators.
Volume 4
The author, Garry Kasparov, is the world number one and, by common consent, the greatest player ever. The subject of the book, Bobby Fischer, is the only American to have become world champion and is probably the greatest natural talent the world has ever seen. Also under the microscope are - Samuel Reshevsky, Miguel Najdorf and Bent Larsen.
Volume 5
This book, the fifth in Garry Kasparov's magnificent history of the World Chess Championship, catalogues the "post-Fischer" period in the 1970s and early 1980s. This period was dominated by the Anatoly Karpov (world champion from 1975 to 1985) and his three-time challenger, Viktor Korchnoi.
