This book covers the period when Alekhine was World Chess Champion, including his match with Capablanca and his two matches with Euwe.

Historic London 1922!Jose Raul Capablanca was the superstar of chess in 1922 and London was his first serious chess in the 15 months since he had won the championship title from Emanuel Lasker.

For decades, Alexander Alekhine's account of New York 1927 was at the top of the list of works that should have been rendered into English but unaccountably were not. This is unlike any other tournament book ever written.
