I 'll try to copy Alekhine's games,as they 've been presented and coomented in Alexander Kotov's book,in his series : "The Kings of Chess".

This one is his first game in his first official tournament ever!

.

In this one,we can see Alekhine's ability to set dangerous traps!

A fantastic combination,a unique game!

An ingenious combination!

.

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

.

This one demonstrates his ability in the endgame!

A fantastic endgame here too:

This game has been played at the 1st official USSR Championship!

.

A 10-move combination beginning with 33...Be6!

An incredible move,makes the opponent resign!

Please,don't forget to read the annotations!

Studying Alekhine's games and searching for more sources,I was surprised when I read Kasparov's comments in his book:"My grate precedators" about the game I've posted before "Treybal-Alekhine"!

This diagram is also enriched with Kasparov's comments!

.

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!

 Thanks much dioniso.  What is the threat that makes Black bring his King out on 19... Kf7!  ?

I looked, but I dont get it.
