The three-volume set of his best games from Moravian Chess is remarkably accurate and insightful. Other excellent annotators include Georg Marco (1863-1923), GM Paul Keres (1916-1975), and World Champion Alexander Alekhine (1892-1946). |

I would add Reshevesky and Fischer. If Fischer ever decided to publish an
updated annotaded book of his games it would be an immediate best seller, for sure. wrote in message oups.com... abacus wrote: Who is in your opinion the best chess games annotator in the past time (1800-1945)?

He would have been only two years old. Some say most or all of Reshevsky's books around that time were ghosted by Reinfeld and others. wrote in message oups.com... abacus wrote: Who is in your opinion the best chess games annotator in the past time (1800-1945)?
