Here are those games. 3 games, 1951 Chess a la Torte: Games of Vladimir Alatortsev Vladimir Alatortsev (1909-1987) was one of the best Soviet players during the 1930's and 1940's. However, he was overshadowed in nearly every event by Botvinnik, and his games have not been given much attention. After World War II, Alatortsev decreased his participation in tournaments, and turned his focus on training, particularly with future World Champion Smyslov. In subsequent years, he became involved with administration as well and he served as president of the USSR Chess Federation. 39 games, 1931-1951 Chess in the Fast Lane by Michael Adams Michael Adams' book "Chess in the Fast Lane" (co-authored by his father, Bill Adams) covers the young Grandmaster's career from 1989-1993.
