Alekhine's Best Games of Chess, classic master gameplay for Chess Fans.
This super book explains the history of Alekhine's play throughout the period 1938 to 1945. Each Match annotated in detail.
Fascinating Book for the chess fan interested in exploring the play of one of the Greatest Chess Masters. Each game included is painstakingly annotated. Penned with care and accuracy. Multiple diagrams are included in the text!
Some say this period of game play was not Alekhine's greatest but the book is taken from notes left by Alekhine and thoroughly researched making it an interesting piece of social history of the game of chess.
A must for any serious Chess player or anyone interested in the history of the game. Lovely Hardback book with scarce dust wrapper.
