Editorial Review: This is by a large degree the most comprehensive accounting of the games of this brilliant chess player. Presented are 2,543 of Alekhine's games, in an exhaustive catalog that is the result of many years of digging an effort unparalleled in the history of chess game collections. Many of the games are annotated by Alekhine and 1,868 diagrams appear overall. The book includes games from his earliest correspondence tournaments in 1902 through his final match with Francisco Lupi at Estoril, Portugal, in January 1946.

Editorial Review: Efim Bogoljubow was one of the great players of the first half of twentieth century. Over a period of more than 15 years he was permanently among the challengers for the world title. He won twice the Soviet championship as well as several super tournaments against an impressive field of rivals. Bogoljubow played two matches against Alekhine for the World title and became two times FIDE champion, defeating in matches M. Euwe.
