An in-depth look at the World Championship matches – the great games, styles and personalities of the World
hampions and their challengers.  The central idea of the class will be
the study of chess ideas and theory, as practiced by the greatest
players.  In each class we’ll look through roughly 10 to 20 of the most

The class will be lecture-style, with brief questions and answers.
