Robert Sherwood
A round by round account of both these U.S. tournaments with annotations to all the games as well as diagrams, some photos, tournament crosstables and indexes of openings. The lesser known Chicago event was a closely fought affair with Marshall triumphing by half a point from Torre and Maroczy in a field of 13 players. The outcome at Lake Hopatcong was never really in doubt with Capablanca winning the five player, double-round event at a canter from Kupchik and Maroczy. This well presented book does justice to both events and includes a brief description of the background to each in the introduction.

The AVRO tournament of 1938 was designed to find a challenger to Alexander Alekhine, the reigning World Champion. It was also an attempt to set up a valid system for selecting a challenger in future years, rather than allowing the champion to dictate his own terms.
With this in mind eight of the world's strongest players, including Alekhine, took part. The field comprised Alekhine, Keres, Fine, Botvinnik, Euwe, Capablanca, Reshevsky and Flohr in a double round all-play-all which was eventually won jointly by Keres and Fine.
The outbreak of war the following year, followed by Alekhine's death in 1946, meant that neither Keres nor Fine ever had chance to play a match against Alekhine for his title.
This book of the tournament includes background material on all the players and round-by-round commentary on the tournament itself. Every game is included and annotated with both contemporary comments and analysis from the Rybka chess engine. The authors have drawn together the best parts of previously published books and articles on the tournament and unearthed new material from Dutch newspaper columns and from the Royal Dutch Library.

Many players from the 1939 Buenos Aires Chess Olympiad, especially those who were Jewish, remained in Argentina after the outbreak of World War II, fearing persecution if they returned to Europe. As a result there were many strong chess tournaments held between 1939 and 1945. This book includes all the games from these two tournaments won by Stahlberg and Eliskases respectively. There are also some annotations taken from contemporary chess periodicals and newspapers.
