These lists exclude not only works by
Capablanca and Alekhine but also match and tournament books involving
them, as well as fiction (e.g. the novels by Kotov and Yaffe
concerning Alekhine). Another intentional omission is Alekhine’s
Block,
which is not specifically about him. The lists of books
in our collection (presented in C.N. 4416) have been supplemented here
by titles subsequently mentioned to us by Luca D’Ambrosio (Bolzano,
Italy), Miquel Artigas (Sabadell, Spain), Javier
Asturiano Molina
(Murcia, Spain), Michael Negele (Wuppertal, Germany), Leonard Skinner
(Cowbridge, Wales) and Yakov
Zusmanovich (Pleasanton, CA, USA). Books not in our collection are
marked with an asterisk.
