This three volume book by the thirteenth world chess champion Garry Kasparov is unique in many ways. He analyzes the professional life and games of his twelve predecessors on the chess throne with the help of modern chess programs. Many of his conclusions challenge existing opinion about these famous chess players and summarize the state of the art in chess after 150 years of its existence as a sport. Volume one is about the first four champions: William Steinitz ( 1836-1900), Emmanuel Lasker (1868-1941), H.R. Capablanca (1888-1942), and Aleksander Alekhin (1892-1946). On standing order only.
