’I
am certain of victory over Euwe’, said World Champion Alekhine in 1935,
and he was hardly the only one to underestimate the Dutchman’s chances.
Euwe’s win came as a shock. This magnificent book, filling a gap in the
literature of chess, shows that Euwe’s world title was the result of his
iron will, his methodical drive and his energetic handling of all aspects
of the game. Max Euwe (1900-1981) has been called a "genius of
order" and the "chess logician". He wrote more
than 70 books, many of which are still in print today. By bringing his
world title under the aegis of FIDE he profoundly changed the history of
chess in the twentieth century. It was Euwe’s diplomatic determination
as President of FIDE that saved the Match of the Century in 1972 between
Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. Acclaimed chess writer Alexander Munninghoff
tells the unforgettable tale of the fifth World Champion. Praise for Max Euwe, The Biography ’Without this book your chess library is not worth its name.’ – HANS REE ’A
fitting monument for Max Euwe.’ – LODEWIJK PRINS 'A
lot has been unearthed, including games, which was completely new to me'
– HEIN DONNER ’A
majestic read.’ – JAN TIMMAN
