4 more Alexander Alekhine puzzles with complete games

I think that Alexander Alekhine is underappreciated nowadays. The following was written back in the mid-1970s:

Like a magician using the art of misdirection, an Alekhine combination was often initiated after a series of harmless looking moves that would throw the opponent off balance. One of the most characteristic features about his style was his ability to find unexpected and dazzling combinations in the most normal looking positions.

Alekhine is the most brilliant, the most imaginative player in chess history. Alekhine’s games can be described in one word—wonderful! They form a collection of masterpieces imbued with artistry, originality, imagination, and brilliance. In the field of combination play, Alekhine is unsurpassed. His creations, rich in color and variety, are always of absorbing interest. At his best, and that was often, Alekhine astounded the world with a wealth of inspired combinations dazzling in their beauty and splendor.

Alekhine’s fiery play has always inspired raves, such as these: “At his best, Alekhine may have had equals, but he did not have any superiors,” says Reuben Fine. “For sheer originality, profundity, and technical perfection he was never surpassed. He ranks among the really great artists of the chess board.”
