64 Unsterbliche Schachpartien

In an era where nearly all significant chess games ever played are digitally available at the push of a button, along with intricately branched, computer-generated analyses and extensive comments accessible with a click, this book takes a different approach: It aims to present the aesthetics of the royal game in a comprehensible manner to those replaying the games. "64 Immortal Chess Games" is a collection of chess masterpieces spanning 400 years of chess history: From the old masters of the Ruy López era in 16th-century Spain to the present-day world champion Ding Liren from China, this book features well-commented games that have all made history. These games do not always come from the competitions of the giants of chess, as brilliant games have been crafted over the centuries not only in grand tournament halls. However, it certainly includes almost all world champions in history, alongside widely known heroes like Lasker, Capablanca, or Fischer, as well as the often-forgotten geniuses like Anderssen, Morphy, or Steinitz. The collection is rounded off with historical overviews of the respective chess eras and insights into the biographies of the masters behind the games and at the boards. The authors, Roland Voggenauer and Carsten Peters, consider themselves part of the mass of chess enthusiasts and aim to provide a solid overview of the gems of the chess world with this collection.
