Part 1: Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca & Alekhine
Part I covers the dawn of modern chess and the reigns of the first four World Champions: Wilhelm Steinitz (1886–1894), Emanuel Lasker (1894–1921), José Raúl Capablanca (1921–1927), and Alexander Alekhine (1927–1935 and 1937–1946).

Part 2: Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov & Tal
Part II covers the post age of the return matches and the 5th through 8hth World Champions: Max Euwe (1935–1937), Mikhail Botvinnik (1948–1957, 1958–1960, 1961–1963), Vasily Smyslov (1957–1958) and Mikhail Tal (1960–1961).

Part 3: Petrosian & Spassky
Part III covers the ninth and tenth World Champions: Tigran Petrosian (1963–1969) and Boris Spassky (1969–1972) and a time where there was no dominant player in the chess world.

Part 4: Bobby Fischer
Part IV tells the story of legendary World Champion, Robert James Fischer (1972–1975). The American burst onto the international stage in the late 1950s, broke the Soviet chess hegemony, before finally defeating Spassky in Reykjavik in the "Match of the Century."

Part 5: Karpov & Korchnoi
Part V covers the rise and reign of Anatoly Karpov (1975–1985). After becoming World Champion by default following Fischer’s abdication of the throne, Karpov dominated the elite tournament circuit and defended his title in two high-profile matches against Viktor Korchnoi.
