ALEKHINE'S BEST GAMES ALGEBRAIC by Alexander Alekhine

This guide features Alekhine's annotations of his own games. It examines games that span his career from his early encounters with Lasker, Tarrasch and Rubenstein, through his world title battles, to his meetings with the new generation of players in the 1950s. Algebraic notations are included.

In the year 1892, Alexander Alekhine, the fourth international chess champion, was born in Moscow. He quickly ascended up the chess world's ranks, and by 1922, he was among the top three or four players in the world. In 1927, he defeated José Capablanca in a match in Buenos Aires to become world champion. His chess books include the New York 1924 and Nottingham 1936 tournament books, both of which are considered classics. In 1935, he lost the title to Dutchman Max Euwe, but reclaimed it in 1937. While still holding the title, he died in Portugal in 1946.
