World Chess Champions

When the Soviet Union dominated pro chess…

When nearly every World Champion emerged from the East…

Grandmaster Jan Timman led the resistance as “the best of the West!”

Timman was a leading Dutch GM. He ranked as high as #2 in the world. And he also qualified for the cutthroat Candidates Tournament 3 times, before playing for the FIDE World Chess Championship.

Most impressive of all:

Timman has beaten 8 World Champions. Many during their prime, and by playing their game!

He overpowered Garry Kasparov with tactics.

And he steamrolled Boris Spassky with Spassky’s go-to strategy — a bold central advance to scurry the defenders, then a sharp ‘right turn’ to the enemy king!
