This is a BRAND NEW paperback book.  This is a great price, and this book is a great opportunity to improve your library with an AUTOGRAPHED (by John Donaldson) copy of this book !  The book does show its age and some normal dealer shelf wear from being boxed and unboxed over the years.  Also see my other items for ALEKHINE in the AMERICAS listed separately, and also AUTOGRAPHED by the author John Donaldson.

To honor the 100th anniversary of Alekhine's birthday lesser-known Alekhine efforts are brought here into the public eye. The purpose of the book is to investigate Alekhine's quite fascinating non-tournaments efforts which took him all over the globe and made him the original frequent traveler. His efforts include the Franco-Russian Chess Champ's four barnstorming tours of the U.S. and Canada as well as visits to South America. Over 140 games, 88 diagrams. Algebraic notation. (I.C.E., 1992)

 

This book features over 600 non-tournament games of the famed world champion. These games come from a variety of sources, including simultaneous displays, exhibitions, blindfold play, exhibition games, blitz events, and correspondence games. The games are very instructive and over a hundred of them have annotations. This book includes a lot more, including rare photos.
