Alekhine's Greatest Games of Chess (1904-1923, 1924-1937, 1938-1945)

Alexander Alekhine held the World Champion title from 1927-1935 and again from 1937 until his death in 1946. His style of play was sharp and aggressive, in direct contrast to the ultra-positional style of his predecessor, Capablanca. This book collects all of his best games, most with annotations by Alekhine himself. The period covered by this book is his Alekhine's heyday, including all of his World Championship matches and his great tournament victories at San Remo 1930, Bled, 1931 and Berne, 1932.
