      2014

      Introduction

      Before anyone thought of creating the title of World Chess Champion, there was a succession of players throughout the history of the game who were generally recognized as the top player of the day. These included, but may not be limited to, the Italians Greco and Damiano; the Spanish prelate Ruy Lopez; the French opera composer Philidor; the Irish champion Alexander McDonnell and the French champion LaBourdonnais, who played a series of matches in the 1830s (a precursor to the series of matches between Karpov and Kasparov over 150 years later) that left the Frenchman as the top master; the Frenchman Pierre de Saint Amant and the Englishman and Shakespearian Howard Staunton, who played a match in 1843 that propelled the Englishman to the top; and the German-born Adolf Anderssen, who won the first two international chess tournaments (London 1850 and London 1862).
