Alexander Alekhine. Games 1902-1922

The first of the three-volume set of Alexander Alekhine?s tournament and match games.

Includes many crosstables and 464 thoroughly analyzed in the well known Informator style games. The strong point of the book is the new look at the life's work of one of the greatest champions of the past.

All game commentaries are made anew by strong Russian players.

Especially interesting are the opening notes which allow to make a historical comparison with the achievements of modern theory.

The goal of this book is not to publish previously unknown games of Alekhine, but rather revise the famous encounters in the light of contemporary understanding of chess.
