Imagine being the announcer for the Alekhine Euwe championship matches! 

Fun fact, I have no Idea how to pronounce my own Chess.com alias. If I need to give it to someone IRL I just write it down lol.

lol

English language is pretty fuzzy regarding pronounciation.

It's one of the greatest difficulties one has to overcome when learning it.

Thanks guys, it was funny. I wonder how would you pronounce my own surname :)

The variation by Eseles and video variation are almost fine. I can understand what person are they talking about then I hear it.

Now that we have figured out how to pronounce Alekhine we come to the most important question of all--was he anti-semitic? There are articles supposedly written with his byline  in German making anti-semitic statements which he later denied saying he had to write some of the articles to get an exit visa and other articles were written and published in his name without his permission. He has always gotten along with Jewish chessplayers and acquaintances and his 4th wife was Jewish. So was he or wasn"t he?

A LEH HIN (e)

There is a misconception that his name is pronounced A LYO HIN (ё)

I think his name is pronounced Alek-heen

Ah –le -keen and

Eu –we in Spanish speaking zones.

As whether he was pro nazi or not. . .what would you do in a barbaric dominion like Hitler´s if they ask you?

Don´t tell me you are hero. . .

Now that we're properly introduced to Alekhine and Euve, does anyone want to take a try at Ljubomir Ljubojevic?
