Book Description

June 3, 2009
World Champion Garry Kasparov wrote, "Alexander Alekine is the first luminary among the others who are still having the greatest influence on me. I like his universality, his approach to the game, his chess ideas. I am sure that the future belongs to Alekhine chess." Bobby Fischer wrote, "He had great imagination. He could see more deeply into a situation than any other player in chess history. It was in the most complicated positions that Alekhine found his grandest concepts."

Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine (1892-1946) was not only one of the strongest and most original chess players who ever lived, but he was also the most controversial, second only to Bobby Fischer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended by GM, but is in old notation, December 4, 2009

This review is from: My Best Games of Chess 1924-1937 (Paperback)
According to some Grand Masters, this is the definitive book on Alekhine's brilliant chess play. Unfortunately, it is in the old English notation, which is enough to deter me from studying it seriously so far. A translation into the modern algebraic notation will do readers a great favor.
