		Alekhine never danced, but on this occasion, though for obvious reasons he was unsteady on his feet, he asked my wife to join him in the waltz.
		But neither should Alekhine's recovery of the title in 1937 be overrated, since in that match Euwe was the victim of public opinion in his native Holland that favored him so strongly that even his sober mathematical mind was muddled by over- optimism.
		Alekhine's powers started to wane in 1935, and although he avoided alcohol completely for the next five years the years of the great tournaments at Nottingham 1936, Kemeri 1937, and AVRO 1938 his decline continued.

		After this match, Alekhine spent years trying to avoid the required return match, and in fact refused to play in any event that Capablanca was in until 1936, after he had lost the title himself.
		Apparently, Alekhine agreed, and made sure that he never did play Capablanca again, even in tournament play, until after he [Alekhine] had lost the title himself.
		Alekhine adapted his naturally enterprising, risk-taking style (which had failed miserably against Capablanca in previous outings), and played the most conservative, positional chess of his life in this match.

	Jose Raul Capablanca vs Alexander Alekhine (1927)
		Obviously, Alekhine wanted to get his pawn there before white got in something like c4, he was afraid of a white clamp, a space advantage with c4 and e4.
		Add Reti to the mix, and it is clear that 4...c5!, despite being introduced by the "old-school" Maroczy, was one of the fresh new moves of the hypermoderns.
		Alekhine was generally inclined to take up the latest hypermodern opening ideas (something which made Nimzowitsch very proud).

		His hands tremble and the trapped King of the opponent suddenly looks armed and threatening to him, which is strange because Alexander is the champion of the world, a title that he defended in 1929 and 1934 against Russian Bogolyubov; fear is alien to him.
		Alekhine plays his natural attacking game and takes the lead, but, soon, Max has white pieces and he puts the King in the open again.
		Unlike Alekhine, Max is an amateur, for whom chess is second to his career as a mathematician (He single-handedly popularised chess in Holland, besides being a prolific writer on the game, the president of FIDE from 1970 to 1978 and associated with the development of chess-playing computers).

		About 600 of these are annotated by a variety of individuals from Tartakower and Alekhine himself to employees of Chessbase (for instance, Andre Schulz is a significant contributor).
		IMO, this is not entirely unwarranted, since Alekhine sometimes appraised his own play with a less than critical eye.
		For instance, there are some videos of players like Shirov and Gelfand giving their opinion of Alekhine (his play, writings, etc).

	The Games of Alekhine by Edward Winter
		No serious chess authority has doubted that Alekhine was among the very greatest masters of all time, but he is one of those players (Steinitz is another) whom many writers feel at particular liberty to maul in the grubbiest personal terms.
		Although Alekhine wrote (see page 213) that they were rarely ‘a perfect model of correctness’, the entertainment and instructional value of encounters between master and amateur is often extremely high.
		Not unexpectedly, Alekhine’s losses are over-represented in the book, because of the tendency of parochial columnists to publish the club hero’s isolated or fluke defeat of the maestro.
