How could their small island country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a population of less than 300 thousand people stage such a prestigious event in the first place? Fifty years on, the organiser and president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, Gudmundur Thorarinsson has written a tell-all book about 'The Match of the Century’, crammed with behind-the-scenes stories and improbable twists and turns. Reading his gripping account of probably the most iconic sports contest during the Cold War, you will understand why he prefers to call it 'The Match of All Time’.
