Chess career

By the age of twenty-two, he was already one of the strongest grandmasters. During the 1920s, he was one of the hypermoderns, and won many tournaments. In 1927, he became World Champion by beating Capablanca. The match of 34 games was the longest world championship match held until 1985.

In the early 1930s Alekhine dominated tournament play, and won top-class tournaments by large margins. He also played first board for France in four Chess Olympiads, winning prizes in each. His tournament record became less good from the mid-1930s onwards; alcoholism is often blamed for this. Although Alekhine offered Capablanca a rematch on the same terms that Capablanca had set for him, negotiations dragged on for years. It became clear that Alekhine would never let the match take place. Meanwhile, he defended his title with ease against Bogolyubov in 1929 and 1934.

Alekhine was defeated by Euwe in 1935, but regained his crown in the 1937 rematch. His tournament record was now uneven, and rising stars (such as Keres and Botvinnik) threatened his title. Negotiations for a title match were halted by the start of World War II in 1939.

Alekhine was known for his attacking style: he was good at turning an initiative into a win. He was the first world champion to work hard on opening theory. Alekhine was the first to be a full-time dedicated professional of the modern type. He said he spent eight hours a day studying the game, and produced many innovations in chess openings.

Alekhine was declared an "Enemy of the Soviet Union" after making anti-Bolshevik statements in 1927. However, after his death, the Soviet chess leaders called him "one of the founders of the Soviet School of Chess". He is still highly regarded as a chess writer. His finest works were his collections of his own games, which influenced many players.

If you don't want negative comments, I'd suggest you don't post in the forums; make a blog posting over which you have control.  A thread you start here doesn't belong to you - this is a Public forum, not a Personal forum.

That said, it's odd that it's mentioned here that "Alekhine was declared an "Enemy of the Soviet Union" after making anti-Bolshevik statements in 1927"  but then not mentioned here that he became a persona non grata in the chess world, and much of the world in general post-WWII due to his series of anti-semetic articles that were pubished n 1941. 

fischer had the same problem

Anti-Semitism

Bobby Fischer in 2005.

Even though Fischer himself was Jewish, he often signed his name as “Robert James”, eliminating the racially ambiguous “Fischer”, and had demanded to be excised from a Jewish encyclopedia. According to Grandmaster Larry Evans, Fischer had once told him that he admired Hitler because "he imposed his will on the world". At a 1992 press conference, Bobby Fischer called communism, rightly enough, “a mask for Bolshevism,” but he then stunned his audience by calling Bolshevism “a mask for Judaism.” In January 14, 1999, during an interview on Filipino radio, Bobby Fischer said, “You know they [Jews] invented the Holocaust story. There’s no such. There was no Holocaust of the Jews in World War II.” Bobby Fischer also admitted to belief in a “giant conspiracy of the Jewish world government.” Yet, despite, Bobby Fischer's openly anti-Semitic remarks, he had several close Jewish friends. According to the American Jewish master Ron Gross: "Bobby says we’re all victims of the conspiracy".

Fischer's case was quite different in many respects though. A (self-renounced) Jew himself, Fischer's fear/hatred of Jews didn't come during or in the wake of the tragedy of WWII.   But you are right in essence and both men were severely criticized for the expression of their (rightfully) unpopular views.

I think its unjust for the world to judge chess the chess geniuses by the belives they hold than the creativity they produced. All the insecurities and failures poured out to critisize what they could not achieve.
