ROFL maybe he was losing and decided that he would rather kill the guy instead of resigning
I really don't see what is funny about this at all. Isn't it disturbing how messed up a race we are that we do this to our companions?
for all those new to chess here, Queen's Gambit is 1.d4 d5 2.c4, the Catalan is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3

Was that another show of Alekhine's bad temper? or was it someone else?
I just can't picture two guys sitting around the house playing chess. Then have one Player get so Mad that he kills the other one. When drinking is involved, I guess anything is possible. Just a hunch, but someone that is somber, doesn't kill his apponent in a game of chess.
