New edition with the current World Champion – Dommaraju Gukesh!
The book "World Champions and Their 444 Chess Combinations" is a unique publication presenting the profiles of all world chess champions, their works, and the most interesting combinations that allowed them to be written into the history of the royal game.
The latest edition has been enriched with a chapter dedicated to Dommaraju Gukesh, who in 2024, by defeating the 32-year-old Chinese representative, GM Ding Liren, won the World Champion title, thus joining the pantheon of chess legends. His lightning-fast development, unique playing style, and most beautiful combinations are a fascinating addition to this book.
The publication has also been corrected and supplemented to provide readers with an even better experience in analyzing the games of the greatest players of all time.
As Garry Kasparov wrote in the first volume My Great Predecessors:
"...contributed the most to the royal game": To win the highest title, one had to defeat the best of the best, discover something new, outsmart and surprise the experienced and talented competitors.
Thanks to this book, you can trace the evolution of the master playing style from Steinitz to Gukesh and tackle the combinations that decided the fate of the chess crowns!
