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!

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

I looked, but I dont get it.

 Wow, that is a really exciting game with a lot going on, thanks again!

Please go to the comment of move 15.0-0-0 in the game between Nimzowitz-Alekhine 1912.

If you follow that line you will be  extremely with the way that genius Nimzowitch was thinking !!really brilliant thought!!!

A tremendous work. Good. Thanks for the immortal games you have displayed.

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.
