Interesting how you can supplant one myth for another with so authoritively.
Originally posted by KorchThere is evidence to suggest that Alekhine was pissed: he was found in one of the storerooms inebriated during the match; he walked off to the edge of the stage and urinated.

Indeed...only someone from Holland could give us the definative answer. It's sort of a state secret though, they're not talking.

Originally posted by demonseedI have read both of them - Kotov and Kasparov. And I advice you to do the same and only then make conclusions. Also I have read what have written Flohr about that match and his version differs from Kotov`s books.

As for Kasparov he has a political axe to grind against Kotov going back to the old Soviet days so spare me your logic Korch which is manifestly thinly veiled sentiment.

And you did not answer to my question: What parameters do you use to find out that Euwe is the worst player to be chess world champion?
Originally posted by demonseedI dont know which game did you mean - in their first match (1935) 29th game was was Alekhine defence and it finished draw. Bu I can show you 26th game in which Euwe ovwrplayed his opponent.
I don't think he is the worst.
I just saw a bland thread reminding us to remember a truly great player and someone who was a great ambassador for the game (while being the last of the brilliant amateurs). I didn't want empty tributes so I attacked him to engender the praise he deserves.
Unfortunately it's pretty clear that no-one on this site really ...[text shortened]... nded his victory thereby falling into my trap to distract you from Euwe's chess ability.

If Euwe isn't the worst player to be chess world champion then who is?

Oh, good lord. Not that myth again.
If Euwe isn't the worst player to be chess world champion then who is?
Either Khalifman or, probably, Kasimdzhanov.
What's more, Euwe was a better person than you will ever be, with your cheap sniping and even cheaper retractions.
