Description

World Chess Champion Alexander Alekhine wrote two great volumes of his games that have been studied by virtually every strong player in the world. They are:

My Best Games of Chess 1908-1923 ISBN 0923891498

My Best Games of Chess 1924-1937 ISBN 4871878260

There is a third volume, but not by Alekhine:

Alekhine's Best Games of Chess 1938-1945 ISBN 4871878260

These famous books have been translated into several languages.

There are also collections of Alekhine's games published in Russian and other languages. These volumes are popular because of Alekhine's bold, aggressive and imaginative style of play.

Fred Reinfeld found that there were many great games by Alekhine that had not been included in these volumes. He set about collecting and going though these games. He found 102 interesting and exciting games not found in the other volumes. So he called it "The Unknown Alekhine".

These games are all thoroughly annotated in Descriptive Notation. Several of these games are not to be found in the chess databases that now contain millions of games.

Here is an exciting book for the chess enthusiast. Fred Reinfeld, the popular American chess master, brilliantly analyzes and annotates over one hundred of the games played by Alexander Alekhine in the early stages of his career. Much that is valuable can be gained by studying the developing strategy of one of the world's acknowledge masters of the game and this fascinating collection will greatly appeal to every keen player of chess.
