Overall
The Alekhine's Defense has not received Grandmaster coverage in some time, and Nigel Davies has done a nice job of selectively filling in some of the critical areas in this underestimated defense. The practical player should find the right mix of theory and explanation, and even the experienced player should benefit from Davies analysis and theoretical improvements.<br><b>8.5 out of 10</b>
Overall
All together Nigel Davies has written a very understandable work on the Alekhine defence!
Overall
..an admirable and up-to-date first primer on this interesting system against 1e4
Overall
this work can especially be recommended to all who currently play the opening and to any club player wishing to take up a slightly offbeat, but very playable, defence to 1 e4.
Overall
this is a useful survey of the current state of play in the Alekhine, with many original re-evaluations and suggestions. ****
