This book covers the period when Alekhine was World Chess Champion, including his match with Capablanca and his two matches with Euwe. Included as an appendix in the back of this book all 120 games in this book, in Algebraic notation, plus all 34 games in his match with Capablanca, all 30 games in his first match with Euwe and all 25 games in his second match with Euwe, all in algebraic notation. World Champion Garry Kasparov wrote, "Alexander Alekine is the first luminary among the others who are still having the greatest influence on me. I like his universality, his approach to the game, his chess ideas. I am sure that the future belongs to Alekhine chess." Bobby Fischer wrote, "He had great imagination. He could see more deeply into a situation than any other player in chess history. It was in the most complicated positions that Alekhine found his grandest concepts." No library descriptions found. |

This is Alekhine, the supposed Nazi sympathiser, an account of which you can find here: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/alekhine.html
Does this story go any way to offset his Nazi sympathies, if they've been proven? I wonder if I may make a case for the question being irrelevant?
What I really think is that Alekhine was a chess player and this meant he didn’t have a clue about the world we think of as real. If you play chess like Alekhine, the real world is the chess board. Maybe this story goes some way to explaining:
Is this relevant as a defence? Maybe, maybe not. Another example is the 5 queen game, where again, Alekhine’s conception of reality has nothing to do with normal people’s. The story in detail can be found here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess/al5q.htm
Coming back to the first story, here he is, Alekhine, reaching into his pocket to help a destitute young chess player. Are we, then, able to forgive some special people for living in another world while being forced to inhabit our own. I sort of hope so. ( )
