This captivating biography chronicles his extraordinary journey from humble beginnings in a village outside Gothenburg to global acclaim, marked by triumphant matches against formidable adversaries like Rudolf Spielmann and Aron Nimzowitsch. Alongside fellow countrymen Gösta Stoltz and Erik Lundin, known as "The Three Musketeers"; Ståhlberg later elevated Sweden to chess supremacy, securing podium finishes in several Olympiads. However, Ståhlberg was not only a strong grandmaster but also a prolific writer of books and newspaper articles.

In this way, the reader will also get a rare glimpse into the international chess life of the time through the eyes of a man who was placed right in its epicentre.
