Garry Kasparov, world champion at 22 years old – the youngest in history! This genius held the crown for 15 years, from 1985 to 2000. His aggressive play changed chess forever.
But there were other titans before him. José Raúl Capablanca, a Cuban, lost only 34 games in his entire career. Bobby Fischer beat Boris Spassky in the "Match of the Century" in 1972, 12.5 to 8.5.
Anatoly Karpov dominated for a decade, winning 160 tournaments. Today, Norway's Magnus Carlsen, World Champion since 2013, is considered one of the greatest, with an ELO rating of 2882.
In 1997, a turning point occurred: IBM's Deep Blue computer defeated Garry Kasparov. It wasn't just a match, but a historic battle of human and machine intelligence.
These players didn't just move pieces; they shaped history. Their strategies and sacrifices inspire millions to study this ancient game, where every move is a mental challenge.
