That's a complicated tale... The current world champion is Viswanathan Anand. As to Garry Kasparov losing his title, you might know that between 1993 and 2006, there were two organizations holding world chess championships, FIDE (International Chess Federation) and PCA (Professional Chess Association). Kasparov won the FIDE championships in 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1990.In 1993, he founded the PCA, citing corruption and lack of professionalism at FIDE.

Since Kasparov did not defend his title in the FIDE version of championship, the new champion had to be determined in a series of matches ultimately won by Anatoly Karpov, from whom Kasparov won the title in 1985. On the PCA side (renamed the Classic World Championship by then), Kasparov lost his title to Vladimir Kramnik in 2000.In 2006, the world chess championship was reunited, with the FIDE then-champion Veselin Topalov playing the Classic then-champion Vladimir Kramnik. Kramnik won, to lose to Anand a year later... The list of all champions since Steinitz (he was the first official world champion; Lasker was second) can be found here, among other places.

Kasparov did lose, but it got weird before that Garry Kasparov lost to Vladimir Kramik at a championship played in London in 2000. Kramnik won two games; they drew the other 13. Chess Center has details of every single move of the match.

Kasparov continued playing until 2005, winning several important tournaments, before retiring. The list of champions is kind of a mess, especially since Kasparov broke off to form the Professional Chess Association, so there were at least two different "champions" for most of the 1990s. The Kramnik/Kasparov match was the reunification of the title.

And the current championship, run by FIDE (the World Chess Federation), dates back only to 1948. Lasker's claim to the title is essentially only because everybody agrees to it; there was no federation to grant it to him. As long as Steinitz agreed (the previous acclaimed champion), he was champion.

Lasker passed it to Capablanca in a tournament, and so on until Alekine died "in office" without passing the title to anybody in 1946. (He hadn't been invited to play in tournaments because of his alleged Nazi connections. ) Then FIDE came along and started organizing tournaments, starting with Mikhail Botvinnik as the first champion and continuing until the split and reunion.

Here's a more or less undisputed list: Wilhelm Steinitz 1886–1894 Emanuel Lasker 1894–1921 José Raúl Capablanca 1921–1927 Alexander Alekhine 1927–1935 Max Euwe 1935–1937 Alexander Alekhine 1937–1946 Mikhail Botvinnik 1948–1957 Vasily Smyslov 1957–1958 Mikhail Botvinnik 1958–1960 Mikhail Tal 1960–1961 Mikhail Botvinnik 1961–1963 Tigran Petrosian 1963–1969 Boris Spassky 1969–1972 Robert J. Fischer 1972–1975 Anatoly Karpov 1975–1985 Garry Kasparov 1985–2006 Vladimir Kramnik 2006–2007 Viswanathan Anand 2007–present I've left off the FIDE champions, but you can get the full details at the source below.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
