Chess has produced few minds as formidable as Max Euwe, the Dutch grandmaster who reigned as World Chess Champion from 1935 to 1937, and From My Games: 1920–1937 stands as the definitive record of his most celebrated competitive play. Translated and presented with introductory notes by F. Reinfeld, this meticulously curated anthology chronicles seventeen years of Euwe's finest encounters, presenting annotated games that reveal the razor-sharp tactical precision and deep positional understanding that elevated him to the pinnacle of the chess world. Beyond its value as a historical document, this volume offers an intimate window into the golden age of classical chess, a period defined by fierce rivalries, legendary tournaments, and evolving strategic theory. Euwe's clear, instructive annotations illuminate the reasoning behind every critical move, making this as much a masterclass for the serious student as it is a record for the historian. For anyone who wishes to understand what it truly means to think like a World Champion, this rare 1938 edition presents an unmissable opportunity.
