Aljåsjin . Å , the fourth letter, is the same sound as "a" in "all" The first a is like the "a" in the word "bar".

I am not sure if its Aljåsjin or Aljåxhin, hope some Russians can correct me, The Russian letter "x" is a strange sound.

There once was a World Champ named Alexander

A reported called him Al so they banned her

Some said Alekhine, like a draw he had to decline

Others went for A-le-khin - that, I'd be checkin', I reckon

I'm not really sure of the correct answer
