100 Master Games of Modern Chess

by Savelii Grigor'Evich Tartakover

A companion volume to Larry Evans's selection from the 1960's, this book, presented according to opening variation, takes the story of the best games of the top players chosen from the previous two decades. The games by such immortals as Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe and Botvinnik, are annotated with the customary lucidity, authority and elegance synonymous with these authors.

I've got an early edition, a reprint from 1956, which means the notation is a little confusing as I'm used to the simple modern algerbraic system, but that's nothing to worry about and it's good to be semi-fluent in the older style notation.
The 100 games were all new when published, ranging from 1939-1952, with most being post-WW2 for no reason's other than the obvious! They divide the games up into 3 parts: Open Games, Semi-Open, and Closed, with each of these part's further broken down by opening, with 38 different theories, each with notes and suggested variations.
