Introduction:

Alexander Alekhine is one of the people that can be considered in the top ten best chess players of all time. He has won the world championship for around 2 decades which means he has had a lot of amazing games in his lifetime. Let's check them out.

The Four Queens:

This game was played between Alexander Alekhine and Jose Raul Capablance during the 1927 Championship Match. It was game 11 and Alekhine was down two points. This game changed the match's momentum and helped Alekhine win his first championship.

The Winner:

This game decided the 1927 World Championship Match. It was critical to starting the Alekhine

era of chess.

The Alekhine Battery:

This game is the first use of Alekhine's Gun. He used it to defeat Aron Nimzowitsch in 30 moves.

Beating Reti:

In 1925, Alekhine played against Richard Reti in Baden-Baden, Germany. He hadn't won his first

championship yet. His victory and his placing in the tournament foreshadowed what was to come.
