Sixty-Six Master Games Played in the London International Chess Tournament, 1932 by Alexander Alekhine

London 1932 is one of the lesser known books from the pen of the prolific Russian genius, Alekhine. In 1932 Alekhine was still revelling in the blinding nimbus of invincibility which had surrounded him ever since his match victory against Capablanca in 1927. The new champion duly won the London tournament and furnished some equally fine notes to explain his victory, which Hardinge Simpole are proud and privileged to revive here.

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.
