More quotes by Alexander Alekhine
Chess first of all teaches you to be objective.
Alexander Alekhine
I did not believe I was superior to him. Perhaps the chief reason for his defeat was the overestimation of his own powers arising out of his overwhelming victory in New York, 1927, and his underestimation of mine.
Alexander Alekhine
In my opinion, a master is morally obliged to seize every sort of opportunity and to try to solve the problems of the position without fear of some simplifications.
Alexander Alekhine
The retreat of a minor piece to the back rank, where it cuts the lines of communication between the rooks, is permissable only in exceptional cases.
Alexander Alekhine
During a chess tournament a master must envisage himself as a cross between an ascetic monk and a beast of prey.
Alexander Alekhine
A lifetime in not enough to learn everything about chess.
Alexander Alekhine
Capablanca was snatched too early from the chess world. With his death we have lost a great chess genius, the like of whom we will never see again.

Alexander Alekhine
Young players expose themselves to grave risks when they blindly imitate the innovations of masters without themselves first checking all the details and consequences of these innovations.
Alexander Alekhine
Never before and never since have I seen - and I cannot even imagine, such an amazing rapidity of chess thinking that Capablanca possessed in 1913-14. In blitz games he gave all the St. Petersburg players odds of five minutes to one - and he won.
Alexander Alekhine
Combination is a soul of chess.
Alexander Alekhine
During a Chess competition a Chessmaster should be a combination of a beast of prey and a monk
Alexander Alekhine
Chess is a matter of vanity.
Alexander Alekhine
I think that for the highest achievements nowadays... need to have the stable as a rock scientific base. And also need to own modesty.
Alexander Alekhine
The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able to give.
Alexander Alekhine
Chess will always be the master of us all.
Alexander Alekhine
I believe that true beauty of chess is more than enough to satisfy all possible demands.
Alexander Alekhine
I consider chess an art, and accept all those responsibilities which art places upon its devotees.
Alexander Alekhine
I have had to work long and hard to eradicate the dangerous delusion that, in a bad position, I could always, or nearly always, conjure up some unexpected combination to extricate me from my difficulties.
Alexander Alekhine
I do not play chess – I fight at chess. Therefore, I willingly combine the tactical with the strategic, the fantastic with the scientific, the combinative with the positional, and I aim to respond to the demands of each given position.
Alexander Alekhine
