"The book comments on many games and analyzes the performances and chess personality of these two champions, but what interested me most are the behind-the-scenes stories and the episodes of their defining moments." — Antonio Gude, chess author, journalist, and translator
The Stories, Games and Intrigues of Capablanca & Alekhine by Luis Fernandez Siles.
"This book is essential to understanding that relationship of friendship and confrontation which, like no other, shaped the history of chess in the first half of the twentieth century."
— Miguel A. Sánchez, author of José Raúl Capablanca. A Chess Biography
"The painstaking research behind the facts narrated in this book is also the work of an archaeologist, someone intent on unearthing the truth."
— Manuel Azuaga, journalist, writer, and chess researcher
"Rarely have I held in my hands such a good book, especially in its content, but also in its presentation, which is excellent as well. It has everything: wisdom, history, anecdotes, and chess, along with historical photos."
— Carlos Matamoros, Grandmaster and a legend of Latin chess
"The book comments on many games and analyzes the performances and chess personality of these two champions, but what interested me most are the behind-the-scenes stories and the episodes of their defining moments."
— Antonio Gude, chess author, journalist, and translator
“My overall conception of this book poses a challenge, as most books on chess history don't focus much on making the commentaries on the games instructive, while books on game collections don't delve too deeply into historical topics. I intended the book to be revealing and insightful for those interested in the historical aspect. On the other hand, I tried to ensure that chess enthusiasts find in the games material that provides them with knowledge and is useful for their progress.”
— Luis Fernández Siles, author of this book
