Translated from the original French manuscript by J. du Mont and M. E. Goldstein and published by G. Bell and Sons in 1928, this volume presents 100 annotated games in Alekhine's own hand, each dissected with surgical precision and an almost artistic sensibility that transforms competitive chess into a form of intellectual theatre.\n\nThe book stands as both a technical masterpiece and a revealing self-portrait of a grandmaster at the height of his powers, illustrating the combinatorial genius and daring attacking style that would carry Alekhine to the World Championship in 1927. His annotations are not merely instructive — they are passionate, opinionated, and occasionally ruthless, offering the reader an unfiltered view into the strategic mind of a champion. Whether you are a seasoned player seeking to sharpen your game or a lover of chess history drawn to its golden age, this volume poses a question that lingers long after the final move: just how deep does true genius go?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203273072859,"sku":"2026100009659-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d166f976-a9c0-4147-9033-7467ce469d0e.png?v=1788147163","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009659-secondhand-my-best-games-of-chess-1908-1923","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
