- Under-rated Euwe, the last amateur to become world champion
- Botvinnik, who refrained from sex to preserve his phosphorus
- Smyslov, an amateur opera singer who brought chess and artist' touch
- Tal, whose gaze and red-hot sacrifices wilted even the toughest wills
- Petrosian, who through chess became a paradoxa Soviet bourgeois
