The Bohemian Champion,
This review is from: World Chess Championship: Steinitz to Alekhine: Before Fide - the Freelance World Champions (Hardinge Simpole chess classics) (Paperback)
As the first in the series on the World Chess Championships, ‘Steinitz to Alekhine’ is probably one of the strongest – a string of early champions from 1886 to 1937 are edged on either side by Steinitz, the first World Champion, and Alekhine, in many ways one of the greatest players of the 20th century, the only champion to have died in possession of his title. This era predates the Soviet dominance, and therefore the context of the matches in this book are quite different to those of the others, although missing perhaps some of the external interest (e.g. political) present in, for instance, the volume covering Botvinnik’s rise under Stalin’s patronage.Moran deals with these matches efficiently and well, with his annotations being of a very high quality and his notes being, while not as excellent as some of the others in the series, quite good.
