The first volume of Kasparov's acclaimed history of the world chess champions, analyzing the games and careers of the early greats from Steinitz onward.

It combines deep analysis of famous games with biographical portraits of the champions who came before him, beginning with the nineteenth-century masters and Wilhelm Steinitz. Praised as one of the finest chess book series ever produced, it is aimed at serious players but also tells the human story of the game’s evolution.
