Hard to think of anyone else in the chess world who fits the description of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A Russian in Germany when WW1 breaks out. An Aristocrat In Russia when Communism breaks out. A Russian in France when the country surrenders to Germany in 1940.
@@eudesgeoffroy8416 Stupid! Alekhine was an educated man and did have legal training which helped him in his later life in denouncing virulent jews and their defensive style of chess.
Max Euwe was certainly a good sport. No excuses, no recriminations. Bobby Fischer once said of him: “There’s something wrong with that man. He’s too normal.”

Plus he was not a Doctor in anything. Dr Euwe yes (mathematics) but Dr alekhine no (allegedly law)

Great video! Alekhine's joy and Euwe's sportsmanship shine through. Thank you!
This channel is a time machine 💎, good work. Алехин и Еве поклон почивайте в мир!
Perfect! Thank you so much!
I love the intense stare of alekhine at his black pieces..
Seems like he is warming them up for the upcoming battle
Back when chess players displayed dignity and grace in defeat.
Now we can pretty much count on seeing the Tantrum Child act.
¡Cuánta altura y respeto en estas dos eminencias!
My chess player favourite of the past.
RIP Alekhine
What a epic music! Can I know the name of it? Thank you.
Underrated channel
Btw y can't I hear his voice

I was in jail ..poured after all his games ..library lady brought me a book ..
Interesting to see this, but the title rather implies an interview with Alekhine, which would have been very engaging.
Бесценные кадры! Грейс Висхар, супруга А.А.Алехина... Могла ли предположить эта одиозная женщина, что впишет свое имя в летопись шахматной истории!?
euwe sa a solid player, but alekhine was the stronger player...he drank only milk during their second match...
He showed what he could do if he showed up to a world champion match without being piss drunk lol
Yes
