In chess literature, there have only been a few chess books that
have immediately - and permanently - established themselves as
classics, and this is one of them. The original English edition,
published 75 years ago, used English descriptive notation,
contained only one photograph, no crosstables and was in two
volumes. This new 21st-century edition, presented with modern
algebraic notation, has * combined both books into a single volume
* added more than three dozen archival photographs * crosstables *
Alekhine's complete match and tournament records * a Foreword by
Russian grandmaster Igor Zaitsev * with many more diagrams * a
comprehensive computer-assisted analytical supplement is also
available for free download Whether you feel as if you are
revisiting an old friend, or being introduced to this splendid game
collection for the first time, you will marvel at how Alekhine's
games and works remain extraordinarily consonant with the modern
approach.
London 1932 is one of the lesser known books from the pen of the
prolific Russian genius, Alekhine. In 1932 Alekhine was still
revelling in the blinding nimbus of invincibility which had
surrounded him ever since his match victory against Capablanca in
1927. The new champion duly won the London tournament and furnished
some equally fine notes to explain his victory, which Hardinge
Simpole are proud and privileged to revive here.
In these pages we see how Alekhine's preparation, both
psychological and technical, bore brilliant fruit. Once he had
pinpointed Euwe's weaknesses Alekhine struck with the force of a
hurricane and regained the title by virtue of some of the most
energetic, accurate and elegant play ever witnessed at world
championship level.
