Sjakkgeniene er sjakkens verdenshistorie fortalt gjennom portretter av de 16 verdensmesterne fra Wilhelm Steinitz i 1886 til Magnus Carlsen i vår tid - en bok som kan leses av både sjakkanalfabeter og vordende verdensmestere. Boken dyrker de gode historiene snarere enn de kompliserte sjakktrekkene. Sentralt i denne beretningen er spørsmålet om sjakkgeniets vesen: Hvilke personligheter og karakterer skjuler seg bak de geniale sjakktrekkene? Historien har tre deler: sjakksportens framvekst 1886-1946, sjakken under den kalde krigen fra 1946 til 1990, og den moderne sjakkæraen fra 1990 til 2018. Og som dette antyder, er sjakkens utvikling også en historie om endringer i verdenssamfunnet og stormaktene.
