Alekhine - Move by Move

Alexander Alekhine was a two-time World Chess Champion and is widely regarded as one of the greatest chess players of all time. During his best years he dominated tournaments and in 1927 he defeated his great rival José Raúl Capablanca to win the world title. Alekhine was renowned both for his fierce competitive nature and his dazzling combinative play. He had a phenomenal ability to unleash combinations, even from seemingly harmless positions and he is undeniably one of the best attackers the game has ever seen. In this book, FIDE Master Steve Giddins invites you to join him in a study of his favourite Alekhine games and demonstrates how we can all learn and improve our chess by examining Alekhine's masterpieces.
