Talk about stupid. He nay have had a heart attack just before he chewed his piece of meat or maybe even one brought on by choking. He was an alcoholic.

I thought it had generally been proven that the claim that Alekhine is supposed to have choked on a piece of meat is a myth, or rather that he couldn't have done so, given the known facts of the case?

yes, he was assassinated by alekhine's gun

I heard he was killed by someone dressed like a bottle of whiskey.

Well... i don't condone killing people... but have zero sympathy for anybody who collaborate with the nazi scumbags, the evil these people did was unbelievable, and many killing in the balklans are forgotten. 

As i understand, the French, Russians and others did indeed have a revenge list... if Ahlekine was murdered, tough luck.

The "choked on a big hunk of meat" story is inaccurate.

Kevin Spragett's blog posts on this subject (linked on the first page), are well worth reading. They are the basis of my article.

  • Do you really wanna know if he was ?

This is where an incredible story begins.

  • You see ?....back on a dark & cold Halloween Nite in 1892 (the most wonderful time of the year !) Anisya I.A. Prokhorova gave birth to a child.

Well, it all goes back to a special someone's great-great-gramma from the bitter winds that traversed the banks of the Moskva River.

A child was born outta wedlock (the key subsequently thrown into the river in a fit of shame) near the turn of a century past. This Bolshevik-to-be baby showed incredible ability w/ his mind to retain, obtain, go insane, refrain, make gains, endure pain, take the train, wax-n-wane, sustain, & just feign stuff on the 64-squares of life....uhh - in general.

He was conceived in an affluent cozy one-week rental that looked kinda like this inside:

And so, legend would have it, that as the summer of '93 warmed the innerds of the windswept plains ?....a thawed chessboard emerged from the parlordom of tzarist furniture (u can kinda see it in the photo). It was here that the young Double A first played 1...Nf6 after 1. e4 (played by gramma) made him mad enough to throw a temper tantrum & then that knight out the window.

....more later - getting bored.

They say he had gone to church a few hours earlier....as it wuzza Sunday. And he's buried in the Montparnasse in Paris....right next to organ maker Aristide Cavaille'-Coll & his monkey 'Grinder'....complete w/ fez.

LionVanHalen

Well... they also say he was an egocentric maniac who betrayed his people... and a common drunkard?!

It was 73 years ago today that the Portuguese Secret Police for Dr. Alekhine dead in or near his room at the Parque Hotel, and the cover-up began.

....& the cover-up started w/ a blanket over his body.

I'm sure the "Death Squad" ate it. Assassinating World Chess Champions is hungry work, as we all know.

The Central Intelligence Agency was created on July 26, 1947, when Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act into law.

 

So close!!

If Alekhine had only died 15 months later, we could have all blamed it on the C.I.A.!!!
