This landmark collection, chosen and annotated by the distinguished British chess master C. H. O'D. Alexander, chronicles the finest competitive games played by Alekhine between 1938 and 1945, capturing the full dramatic arc of a genius at work during one of history's most turbulent periods.\n\nAlexander's annotations are incisive and authoritative, illuminating the profound logic behind Alekhine's most dazzling combinations while remaining accessible to ambitious club players and grandmasters alike. As one of Britain's foremost chess intellects, Alexander brings a rare dual perspective — that of a rigorous analyst and a fellow competitor — to bear on each game, revealing the hidden layers of calculation that made Alekhine's play so electrifying. This volume is an indispensable cornerstone of any serious chess library, and a testament to a champion whose legacy continues to challenge and inspire all who sit across the board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203394740443,"sku":"2026100009908-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f4dfd0b3-6354-4b66-adde-99ebf76e7409.png?v=1788148532","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009908-secondhand-alekhines-best-games-of-chess-1938-1945","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
