Alexander Alekhine 's voice of perfect and Genial, his voice is genial and perfect and Tsar of there are some movie with Euwe

Well, that’s an aural shock. I had always imagined Alekhine having a low, raspy, heavy-drinker voice.

Alekhine was a polyglot.

How did those guys learn English?

Bende tek zayıf hamle göremezsin😊

👍

What a gentleman chess players were back in the day. And today you have bunch of guys making idiots of themselves on their streams.

I didn't expect such a voice from Alekhine . Does not fit with his physical.

Great bloke - down to earth - thanks for posting

Love his voice

Interview is scripted, for entertainment. Perhaps Alekhine needed the money. Chess not requiring memory? Alekhine studied the game intensely.

Alekhine studied chess intensely (like Bobby Fischer later). He had defeated Jose Capablanca, who didn't study the game nearly as much, for the world title in 1927, and held it until he was defeated by Max Euwe of the Netherlands in 1935. He regained it in 1937, and held it through World War 2, when international tournament play was put on hold. He still held the title when he died in Portugal in 1946. Alekhine was a lawyer by training.

Shouldve kept one of the polgar sisters away from chess as a control group

Alekhine says memory is not that important but he knew by heart all the master chess games played in the past 15 years when he was alive!

What an amazing mind! Pure genius, great player! He was a lawyer too and knew several foreign languages. I really hope we will have other knights of the art like him today

Alekhine towered over them all!

Thanks

A truly piece of history... amazing

*"One does not require an outstanding memory"* 1:44 < Yeah, those were the days!!! *"I hate chess... because I know what chess is all about. It's all about memorization"* - Bobby Fischer

Alekhine is underated legend

It is quite incredible that in my experience I have found chess and table-tennis go hand in hand for many players!

< drops chess board and pieces into garbage can on the way out of the room!

The interviewer was Freddie Grisewood of the BBC

👍

Great champion not so great his voice( squeaky high pitched)😬

It's good to know that I don't have to worry about my bad memory.

Now, I want to play ping pong with Alekhine

If one could make an arrangement of deceased spirits returning to aspire to their craft.......I would be on board.

This guy was insane. He was so good...I remember parroting like an 18 move checkmate when I was a teen from one of his games.......he saw that far ahead somehow. Still amazing...and immortal.

Wow ! Completely unexpected. And yet, perfect. During my chess playing years from the early 60's in high school through my last tournament in1974, I spent a good deal of time studying Alekhin's games. I could never emulate his style and failed every time I tried. I later learned that my style was more like a Lasker. But I felt I knew Alekhin after years of studying his play. His voice is far more high pitched than I would expect, almost like someone Erich von Stroheim would cast in a spy movie. Yet Alekhin's mind and his status as a well educated aristocratic Russian emigre' intellectual shines through. His English elocution is damn near perfect with the slightest trace of an accent. Great find. One wishes one could have even a 20 minute conversation with this guy, the things one might learn. Thanks !!!

I WAS HERE!!!

Alexhine was not only good in chess but a well educated genius...

The white russian that led the way to the red ones.

love the photo that shows alekhine so happy together with his cat.

Somehow i can't match the voice to the pictures of him. I won't deny the authenticity of the recording, yet the voice seems too sharp. His english too perfect for a french man from russia.

He speaks English with an accent, but it's not an accent a present day Russian would speak with. Educated Russians at that time had a pronounciation different from the morern one, even when they spoke their native language.

That's a jewel. Thank you.

He died still being a world champion,what a legend.

The commentator was Freddie Grisewood

That voice doesn't go with his appearance.

Alekhine sounds German and his voice is identical to Einstein!

Alexander Alexandrovitch Alekhine, the brilliant chess executioner and a great mathematician. The only chess champion who keeping his world chess champion title with him in his death. His final match games specially against Capablanca and Max Euwe at that time were fabulous and technically complicated. His blind folding games were exceptionally accurate. He is a chess legend, in the same category as Bobby Fischer. Unfortunately, cigarettes and alcohol deteriorated quickly his health.

Hannibal Alekhine or Alexander Lecter

Amazing interview - I have covered some of Alekhine's games on my channel. Many thanks :)

I always imagined his voice to be a bariton, bass voice.

Let's not forget that Alekhine is controversial due to the fact he wrote anti-Semitic articles disparaging Jewish chess players when France was under Nazi control. Though he claimed it was done under duress it is not entirely clear that was the case.

Alekhine was undoubtedly one of the greatest chess players. His victory over Capablanca in 1927 was one of the greatest achievements in chess history.

“A great chess player can’t be created” Judit Polgar: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

Que cobarde. Demuestra el miedo que le tiene o le tenía a Capablanca al no aceptar la revancha.
