For sale is Hastings International Masters Chess Tournament 1922 by Alexander Alekhine .(Dover Reprint)This important historical tournament book presents one of the strongest elite events of the early 20th century, held at Hastings in 1922, featuring an exceptional field including Alexander Alekhine, Akiba Rubinstein, Efim Bogoljubov, Siegbert Tarrasch, George A. Thomas, and Frederick Yates.Here are the actual games played in one of the great double round-robin master events of the post–World War I era. The emphasis is on concrete over-the-board struggles between world-class masters rather than abstract teaching principles.The defining feature of this volume is Alekhine’s own annotations. As both participant and eventual winner, Alekhine provides deep, precise, and often highly critical commentary on the games, reflecting the analytical style that would later define his reputation as one of the greatest annotators in chess history. His notes focus on calculation, tactical justification, and practical decision-making from real master-level play.The book also includes an official account of the tournament, traditionally associated with G. A. Thomas, along with full crosstable results, photographs of participants, and complete game scores.This work is especially significant because it captures Alekhine at a formative peak period—shortly before his rise to the World Championship—showing his evolving attacking style and his ability to dominate and out-calculate the strongest players of his generation.A highly collectible and historically important chess tournament book, valued by serious chess historians, Alekhine collectors, and tournament game enthusiasts.
