Alexander Alekhine: Master of Attack

De russiske forfatterne har på en elegant måte klart å lage en hel taktisk treningsbok utelukkende fra Aljechins partier, derav endel hentet fra simultanspill og noen med Aljechins motspillere i hovedrollen.

Boka innledes med kort en biografi og noen hele partier og fortsetter med hovedbolken taktiske øvelser før leseren til slutt også får de komplette partiene som kombinasjonene var hentet fra.

Forlagets omtale:

What separated Alexander Alekhine from the rest of his contemporaries? Why did he dominate the chess world for so long? The main reason was undoubtedly his brilliant attacking style of play. Alekhine had a combinative gift and thrilled the chess public and influenced every great chess player since. Garry Kasparov once said I fell in love with the rich complexity of his ideas at the chessboard. Alekhine's attacks came suddenly, like destructive thunderstorms that erupted from a clear sky.

In this book Alexander Raetsky and Maxim Chetverik take a look back at how Alekhine defeated his opponents in dazzling style. They carefully select and analyse some of Alekhines most famous attacks and glorious combinations. A deep study of his games cannot fail to entertain and inspire any true chess fan.
