alekhine was THE man, i love his games above all others except for maybe tal or lasker depending on my mood. he was so artistic, original, deep and heavy-handed. he could play positional or in your face tactical too. openings were good, mid-game was awsome and could hold his own in the end game. a true chess champion that knew the ins and outs of the game. thanks for sharing
The "pawn crushes queen" finish to the Rosanoff game is a stupendous treat! To think that this was Alexander's first game in his first tournament! He introduced himself to the chess world by flaunting a sparkling gem. Exhilarating!
This one is his first game in his first official tournament ever!
Thanks much dioniso. What is the threat that makes Black bring his King out on 19... Kf7! ?
I looked, but I dont get it.

Thanks dionisio!
Beautiful games of a genius.
Thanks for posting these games. I especially like the annotations which help me to understand why the moves were played.
