EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense focus and mastery of Alexander Alekhine (1892-1946), one of the greatest chess players in history. Alekhine, a Russian-born French grandmaster, is seen here engaged in a fierce game against his formidable opponent, Savielly Tartakower, also known as Niemzowitsch. The image, taken during the 1927 Avro Tournament in the Netherlands, is a testament to the passion and skill that defined Alekhine's career. Alekhine's rise to prominence began in the early 1920s, when he defeated the then-reigning world champion, Jose Raul Capablanca, in a highly publicized match in 1927. Alekhine went on to claim the world championship title for himself in 1935, a position he held until 1937 when Max Euwe defeated him. Alekhine regained the title in 1937 and held it until his retirement in 1946. Alekhine's innovative and unorthodox playing style, which often defied conventional wisdom, set him apart from his contemporaries. His contributions to chess theory and strategy are still studied and debated by chess enthusiasts around the world. This photograph, with its evocative composition and intriguing subject matter, offers a glimpse into the rich history of chess and the enduring legacy of one of its most brilliant and enigmatic figures.
