The masters

This blog is about the masters of chess. Chess is a game that has been played for centuries all over the world. People of all ages, races, religions and sexes all play the game together. It is a game of strategy. They say to always think three moves ahead of your current move. Today that's not enough. People have been known to announce checkmate in anywhere from 3 to 32 moves. Most of the games played by the masters end in resignation and rarely play to checkmate, because they can already see that they lost. Throughout the history of chess there have been some exceptional players that helped to evolve and better the game. This blog is all about them.

Some of the masters I will expand on are Bobby Fischer, Emanuel Lasker, Borris Spasky, Magnus Carlson, Alexandra Kosteniuk and Jose Capablanca to name a few.
