Originally posted by Ignatious MaxHave you got a reliable source for that? As far as I know this is just a completely untrue anecdote written by Reuben Fine, who really should have known better. A lot of billshut stories are told about Alekhine, and you should take them with a large grain of salt.
He showed up to a tournament game once, very late and very drunk. He didn't play stellar chess and was defeated in short order, upon which he stood up, peed all over the board, and passed out in the nearest corner.
At least, that's the way it was told to me.

Hi,..excuse me,..this is just a rant,..to get it out of my system (pentium4)...I love this site,..but some people just get right up my nose!...Just made a wonderful mistake in one of my games,...blogged my opponent, basically to say,.."GRrrrrr...one mistake and game over!"...He/she..never answered, just kept moving,..I think some people are just a bit OTT ...[text shortened]... etter now,....
If you have had a similar experience please feel free to rant here,....😲
I am doing that right now with one of my opponents...
Originally posted by sh76I just read through this post... By far, the funniest post I have read in the Forums 😀
Yeah; they later named that move the "Alekhine Attack."
Very effective, too, at least for the next game. Opponent is so worried about being assaulted by bodily fluids that he can't concentrate.
Alekhine Attack 😀😀😀
BTW, I stopped believing in my karma... I want the fruits... Yes, I want them!!!
I'm still playing or should I say limping in my "rant game"..have just blogged my opponent,... basically to say I will resign next move,.....and would like a comment on the game,...if he again says nothing,..I will simply conclude,..either he can't speak english or he is pig ignorant,..I know I am trying to become a "just below average player" of 1500 on this site, but this guy,..and I say guy because I don't believe a "Lady"..would be so rude!...😉...has won 14 not lost (yet)...hey,..perhaps he's related to seadevil?...as he takes ages to move,..what am I saying,...perhaps I'm just a grumpy old loser!..😠...better go now,...let my chess do the talking,..😀
