Why must i lose to this idiot?!

If you say that, of course you are more idiot than him!
Just because somebody isn't as good a chess player as somebody else, doesn't make them an idiot. He should have been man enough to admit he was the idiot for losing to the weaker player, in the first place.
Nimzovich not Alekhine.
and it was against Saemisch, who was not much weaker than Nimzowitsch.
Nimzovich actually said, "Gegen diesen Idioten muss ich verlieren!"

Nimzovich immortalized Saemisch in the immortal zugswang game of 1923. So I would think Saemisch overlooked the idiot episode. That immortal game got Saemisch many an invitation over the years.
I read about an interesting game in the 1929 Carlsbad tournament between Saemisch and Capablanca. Capa's mistress was sitting in the front row rooting her lover onward. At about the tenth move The door opens and Capa's wife walks into the tournament hall. Capa almost fell off his seat---began sweating profusely and made an imbecelic move that cost him a piece against Saemisch. Capa played Saemisch for the next 50 something moves---- a piece down. Realizing that it was hopeless Capa finally gave up the ghost. C'est la vie
This is a link to nowhere.
