Alekhine's Best Games of Chess 1938-1945

London, G. Bell and Sons. 1966. Mauve Cloth, 8vo - 7 3/4" - 9 3/4 " Tall. Ill.: Black and White Illustrations By Arthur Meyers and Paul Busch. Hardcover, Descriptive notation; First published in 1949, this is the fourth printing of 1966; Textblock very clean and tight; Binding minimally edge and corner rubbed and bumped; Dust jacket is gently sunned at the spine, with lightly worn edges and corners; 113p.; This is the third volume of a trilogy, and deals with Dr. Alexander Alekhine's final years, not published until after his sudden, tragic passing in 1946. Many of the games in this volume were played during World War II in occupied Europe, in tournaments sponsored by Nazi Germany; The average strength of his opponents was unquestionably lower than in pre-war tournaments, but this does not diminish his legacy as one of the greatest players who ever lived, and one of the most illuminating and brilliant writers of the game.
