107 Great Chess Battles, 1939-1945 by Alexander Alekhine Pdf
One of the game's greatest players annotates scores of fascinating games involving Capablanca, Bogoljubov, Keres, Reshevsky, others. Included are many of Alekhine's own games, plus candid commentary on fellow masters, rivals.
German master Kurt Richter (1900-1969) made significant contributions to the chess world as a player, and as an editor and author. Unassuming in real life, Richter was a fearsome opponent who expressed himself mainly through his over-the-board results, as well as through his chess journalism and literary output. He was responsible for several innovative openings, some of which gained renewed status in later years. This overview of his life and games sheds light on a player who should be better known, with much never-before-seen material. Examples of his entertaining writings on chess are included, some featuring his fictitious student opponent, Dr. Zabel. A wide selection of games illustrates the surprising combinations and brilliant style of play that earned him the title "The Executioner of Berlin."

Alekhine's Best Games of Chess 1938-1945 by C. H. O'd Alexander Pdf
This book completes the trilogy starting with "My Best Games of Chess 1908-1923" by Alexander Alekhine ISBN 0923891498 and followed by "My Best Games of Chess 1924-1937" by Alexander Alekhine ISBN 4871878260. This is a reprint of the original third book, with all of the games converted into Algebraic Figurine PGN Notation with diagrams in the back. Alekhine died in 1946, so this third volume was edited by International Master and British Chess Champion Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander, based in part on the notes left by Alekhine to some of the games. Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine (1892-1946) was not only one of the strongest and most original chess players who ever lived, but he was also the most controversial, second only to Bobby Fischer. Everything about his life and death was controversial and is still being written about even today, although he died in 1946, which is 64 years ago.
