He is my all time favorite player.In fact i consider him the greatest chess player ever to walk the Earth. (imho).www.amazon.com.

Thanks, bc. I have two editions of MBGOC: the one I'm currently studying (on your suggestion some time ago, actually , edited by Taylor Kingston in 2013, and an earlier one edited by Nunn in 1996. Is this the bio you are referring to?

if these books you mention
have the extensive Bio that is inserted in Alekhines original book then yes. Alekhine wrote MBGOC. It is in old descriptive notation (P-K4 N-B3 etc).

guess not
Both my editions are in algebraic; lots of excellent and extensive analysis, but no bio. I'll have to look around. Thanks again.
