Title: There are Certain Books the Serious Player Just Must Read:
Review: This is on of those books. Like My Sixty Memorable Games or My System, you just won't be able really to understand this game until you read it. Bottvinik thought that the study of Alekhine's (and Capablanca's) games should make up the backbone of one's chess learning. Yet don't think of this book as a mere obligatory read. The games are enchanting: You will find reading this book demanding, but you will also find it fun! The author of this book is one of the four or five greatest players of all time and it shows! His games, esp. those against Reti at Baden Baden, Rabinovich, and Nimzowitch, rank as some of the greatest ever played.
