This book is very challenging even though it is already more than half a century old. I recommend it therefore only people who have already achieved a certain level (1650+), and bring a lot of enthusiasm for his games. This is called the more of something antiquated spelling and 'descriptive notation'. The coordinates from the perspective of the players and characters are given. For example: If White e4 draws in the book P4 (P for Pawn) and if Black takes Nf6, does NF3 (N for Knight since K is already used for King). So that takes a little getting used to, which is why I would welcome a more modern edited version.
The parts are scattered chronic wide and involve a number of old-fashioned and modern opening systems. An emphasis is placed on the Queen's Gambit and Spanish, but also Sizillianisch and Grunfeld before coming.
After reading the book, I had a better idea of Alekhine Chess art and I'm glad that I persevered to the end. Despite the somewhat rusty English at the beginning (which, however, in the course of the book improved), and the cumbersome notation, this is a very rich collection of games at a high level.
