World champion from 1927 to 1935 and from 1937 to 1946, Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine is considered one of the greatest chess players of all time. Max Euwe considered him the greatest attacking player of all time. A master of all phases of the game, Alekhine conceived his games in a rich and immensely complex way. As Bobby Fischer wrote, Alekhine "plays gigantic conceptions, full of shocking and unprecedented ideas." This book presents Alekhine’s best games between 1924 and 1937, in tournaments and matches, including those in the World Title match against José Raúl Capablanca in 1927 and against Max Euwe in 1935, when he was defeated by the Dutchman, and in 1937, when he regained the lost World Title, becoming the first World Champion to regain the crown, remaining World Champion until his death in 1946. The games in this book are analyzed in detail by Alekhine himself, whose teachings are true gems, making this book indispensable in the library of all who practice and enjoy the game of chess. “From my earliest years I was enormously influenced by Alekhine’s play and fascinated by the unprecedented feat of his victory in the 1927 match. I admired the refinement of his ideas and tried, as far as possible, to emulate his furious attacking style, with its sudden and thunderous sacrifices.” Garry Kasparov This book contains an appendix with biographical and technical data on all of Alekhine's opponents.
