Alexander Alekhine plays chess with cat

   In August 1935, Alexander Alekhine played for France in the 6th Chess Olympiad in Warsaw. He won 7, drew 10, and lost none. Alexander arrived at the Polish border without a passport.  When the officials asked him for his papers he replied:  "I am Alekhine, chess champion of the world.  I have a cat called Chess.  I do not need papers."
