Description:Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 25. Chapters: Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Alekhine, Francois-Andre Danican Philidor, Napoleon Marache, Savielly Tartakower, Lionel Kieseritzky, Josif Dorfman, Aaron Alexandre, Christian Bauer, Julius du Mont. Excerpt: Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine (31 October 1892 - 24 April 1946) (Russian: , pronounced ) was the fourth World Chess Champion.

Meanwhile, Alekhine defended his title with ease against Bogoljubov in 1929 and 1934. He was defeated by Euwe in 1935, but regained his crown in the 1937 rematch. His tournament record, however, remained uneven, and rising young stars like Keres, Fine, and Botvinnik threatened his title. Negotiations for a title match with Keres or Botvinnik were halted by the outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939. Negotiations with Mikhail Botvinnik for a world title match were proceeding in 1946 when Alekhine died in Portugal, in unclear circumstances. Alekhine is known for his fierce and imaginative attacking style, combined with great positional and endgame skill. He produced innovations in a wide rang...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
