The book contains 300 of Alekhine's best games played between 1907 and 1945. Alexander Alekhin has long gained a reputation not only as a brilliant practitioner, but also as the best chess writer-theorist of the first half of the 20th century. Alekhine's games, which are brilliant examples of chess creativity, are equipped with his detailed notes in which he reveals to the reader the main ideas of the applied opening, his tastes, strategic and tactical motives of the middle of the game and gives a clear laconic analysis of the resulting endings.
