PREFACE
Despite perhaps the most capricious career that any Chess
Manuscript has ever had, Alekhine's Annotations to the games
played in the Hastings Tournament of 1922a te at last published.
It is mainly due to Alekhine that the games are now pub-
lished in this country, for readers will, I think, agree that his
work has been rnost thoroughly and conscientiously carried
out. and the book constitutes almost a record in Chess annota-
tion. It was because this exhaustive and critical examination
of the games was so complete and so intensely interesting, that
it was finally decided to publish despite the long delay. A
second reason was the general high quality of the games them-
selrres. A" an instance the game in the second round between
Sir G, A. Thomas and Rubinstein runs to ll4 moves, but posi-
tions of interest occur every few moves right to the end. After
Rubinstein missed his first winning line of play, thrust and
counter-thrust mark every few moves, "nd eve.t at the finish,
when the players were plactically compelled to abandon the
game as a draw, it is necessary for Alekhine to add a note
explaining how the draw is secured. Almost all the other
games are equally interesting. [n addition to Alekhine's notes
" "
a few from The Field and a few original ones have been
added.
Regarding the delay: As General Editor, I claim for
myself absolution and hope to be pardoned for not going into the
question of responsibility, Suffice it to say that in my opinion
there must have been a misunderstandingb etween the parties
