Fiala, Vlastimil - Kalendovsky, Jan

Hardcover

Description:
This Czech work, in English, carries on from the first volume of 1992. Tournaments games, most of them with notes, many simultaneous and so on, are interspersed with an account of Alekhine's life and travels in the key period when he was building up support for a challenge to Capablanca. A very wide range of sources have been tapped, including national and local newspapers, so the material is fascinating. No student of chess history can fail to draw pleasure from this detailed work. An unpaged supplement of five pages contains a photocopy of the London rules of 1922 drawn up by Capablanca. (BCM, 1997, p.255) Olomouc 1996. 480p, 362 games
