Description

The Games of Alekhine is the first collection of all available chess games played by Alexander Alekhine, World Chess Champion from 1927-1935 and 1937-1946. Alekhine was born in Russia on November 1, 1892. The publication of this volume not only celebrates the chess champion's 100th birthday but also fills a void in the literature of chess. For the first time, the complete career of one of the history's greatest players is available to the chess world. The Games of Alekhine contains 1577 complete games (953 tournament games, 214 match games, and 410 informal games) in figurine algebraic notation with 207 diagrams. Included is Alekhine's complete tournament and match record, as well as crosstables of all tournaments in which Alekhine played. The games are presented in chronological order, indexed by the ECO classification system and also alphabetically by opponent's name for easy reference in study.

The Baltic Defense to the Queen's Gambit

In the past many masters have tried to solve Black's problem of developing the Queen's Bishop after blocking it in by 2..e6(1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6). But there is another school that thinks Black should solve the Bishop problem first, with 2..Bf5. A number of them from the Baltic nations were GM Mikenas and GM Keres. The modern generation is lead by GM's Bagirov, Shirov, and Rausis. We believe books have overlooked 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Bf5 or 1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Bf5 or 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Bf5.
