Alexander Alekhine Part five

[Varvitski]

Thanks for this marvelous film (videos 1-5) depicting this titan of chess. I loved the pace, and found it utterly absorbing.

¡Excelente! ¡Eso es cultura!

[tigranvartanovitch]

Now I'm no conspiracy theorist, BUT it seems strange that Alekhine would be sitting in an armchair in an hotel room in front of a finished meal in his overcoat. Maybe he was cold. Maybe he was about to go out. Maybe he had been out and had just returned. Maybe he had died outside and had been brought back by (a) person(s) unknown. We will probably never know the truth.

At 9:26 the name of Alekhin [born 1892; died 1946] appears and is followed by 1876 - 1956. What do these figures mean?

@Fredobel51 It means I entered the incorrect birth and death dates- thanks very much for pointing that out. I didn't realize I had made a mistake till your post today.

why are the fide campeons included in the classical list of world champions? fide campeons are like WWE champs but the World Heavyweight Champ is considered the greatest. khalifman, when he became fide champ, obviously is never in the same classical champions league as kasparov.

Thank you Jessica. Awesome video.

[TomDavid88]

It's obvious that he was murdered by the fucking Communists!

[eugdog106]

your comment is fucking absurd

[Sirb0b1]

I have Alekhine,behind Fischer, Kasparov, Morphy,and Capablanca. BUT certainly next before all the other great players. Thank you for this presentation of this truly marvelous player.

HELLO JESSICA

MY FATHER, CHESSMASTER AND PROBLEM COMPOSER RUI NASCIMENTO, NOW 96 YEARS OLD, HAS BEEN A FRIEND OF A. ALEKHINE HERE AT ESTORIL, PORTUGAL, UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1956. SOMETIMES, MY FATHER PAYED A DRINK TO ALEKHINE, WHO AS AN EXILATED MAN, LACKED MONEY DURING THOSE TIMES.

ALEKHINE OFFERED MY FATHER THE MANUSCRIPT OF A CONFERENCE, IN FRENCH, WHICH THE RUSSIAN GRANDMASTER GAVE HERE IN PORTUGAL.

In the past our teachers were always the grandmasters and worldchampions, nowadays our teachers are the computers. They play , solve and compose . So have a look at youtube.com :
