In 2013 chess returned to world headlines. The energetic Norwegian
prodigy Magnus Carlsen was front page news and his fans were not
disappointed: the World Number 1 won the World Championship. Carlsen's
Assault on the Throne gives an inside view of Carlsen's dramatic
journey: from one of eight challengers in the London Candidates
tournament, with the near disaster in the final rounds, ending with
triumph in Chennai. With behind-the-scenes stories and top-level
analysis of the games, Kotronias & Logothetis have written the ultimate
book on how Carlsen became the 16th undisputed World Chess Champion.
