We can observe in detail his clear and aggressive style in the best moments of his career, including the anthology match against Capablanca in Buenos Aires in 1927, when he won the world title.
 "Typical of Alekhine were his deep plans, far-reaching calculations, and boundless imagination. His greatest weapon was his combinatorial vision, calculating variants with great ease and precision. Alekhine's combinations possessed an astonishing and devastating power." - Mikhail Botvinnik
