From Steinitz to Euwe. In the proposed three-volume book collected and commented on the parties of all matches for the world chess championship, held from 1886 to 1998. In the vast majority of these matches were the battles of real chess titans.

This strengthened both the prestige of the title and the prestige of FIDE, which managed to authoritatively hold the world championships during half a century.

Now the chess world is present at the birth of a new system of competitions for the world championship. It seems that the element of the case will play a significant role in it. This is explained by the increased pace of life, the need to make chess more spectacular for those who do not understand the deep meaning of chess moves. It's a pity if the champions of the future do not become genuine idols for connoisseurs of our wonderful game, to which this informative book is addressed.

Then Botvinnik won, and within the next quarter of a century only Soviet chess players competed directly for the title of champion. Their hegemony was violated only by Fischer, but not for long ...
