Every game has been\u003cbr\u003eexamined under Stockfish 14, probably the best analytical engine available for\u003cbr\u003ehome computers at this time. For the first edition we had only Fritz 4 and 5, \u003cbr\u003ewhich compare to Stockfish like a Model T Ford to a Ferrari, and many games\u003cbr\u003ewere given no computer examination at all. Thus owners of the first edition\u003cbr\u003ewill find most annotations here substantially different (and substantially\u003cbr\u003ebetter). However, many general assessments and heuristic notes proved valid and\u003cbr\u003ehave been retained. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- \u003cp\u003eTorre's own annotations to several games have been unearthed and added. These come from\u003cbr\u003eseveral sources: the American Chess Bulletin, his book of the 1926\u003cbr\u003eMexican Championship tournament, and his instructional booklet Development\u003cbr\u003eof Chess Ability. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- \u003cp\u003eSeveral games have been added. Some, frankly, are Torre losses, which we give in the\u003cbr\u003einterest of presenting a more complete, balanced picture of his play. The first\u003cbr\u003eedition, to some extent, looked at Torre through rose-colored glasses; here we\u003cbr\u003eaim only for untinted clarity. Also added are the six games between players other\u003cbr\u003ethan Torre that he annotated for the Mexican Championship tournament book (see\u003cbr\u003eChapter VIII). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- \u003cp\u003eThere are many more diagrams and photographs than in the first edition.
