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.

    A Grandmaster Explains a Solid and Dependable Repertoire
    Every chess-player needs a reliable defence against the Queen's Pawn Opening. The fundamental question is whether to go all-out for counterplay, which may involve a great deal of risk, or to adopt a more solid, classical approach, and first carefully neutralize White's initiative. This book shows the potential of the latter approach. By defending the Queen's Gambit Declined, Black puts a firm road-block in the way of White's ambitions.

  • The Petroff
    A Detailed Account of the Solid Opening Favoured by Vladimir Kramnik and Other Super-Grandmasters
    The Petroff has for a long time been regarded as a very solid defence. Black avoids the perils of the Scotch, the Italian Game and above all the dreaded Ruy Lopez, and instead opts to neutralize White's initiative with active piece-play. In the Petroff, it is quite common for Black to launch an early counterattack, often gambiting a pawn to do so. For many years, the Petroff enjoyed a steady following, with Karpov, Ivanchuk, Timman, Anand and in particular Yusupov among its supporters at the top level.
