Alexander Alekhin. Fate of the champion
19.99 €
130 years ago Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine was born - a great chess player, the first Russian world champion, whom many connoisseurs of the ancient game consider to be the strongest grandmaster of "all times and peoples". He treated chess as an art - and was its devoted servant, a bright thinker, not just a player.
Alekhine stands at the origins of the Soviet chess school. But from 1921 he lived in a foreign land, where he won many prestigious chess tournaments and won the crown of world champion, confirming this high title three more times. He died in 1946 undefeated.
Grandmaster A. A. Kotov's account of Alexander Alekhine remains unsurpassed. We have supplemented it with a modern sketch of the life and work of the great chess player, which talks about what the author, who wrote his masterpiece in 1965, unwittingly left out.
