The Conqueror. World Champion 1927–1935, 1937–1946. One of the greatest attackers in chess history.
Alexander Alekhine was a chess volcano, capable of erupting at any moment with combinations of terrifying depth and ferocity. He dethroned the 'invincible' Capablanca in 1927 in Buenos Aires, then lost the title to Max Euwe in 1935 before winning it back in the 1937 rematch. He is the only World Champion to die while holding the title. His games are filled with complex, energetic play. He rarely simplified, preferring to keep the tension and outplay opponents in complications. His best games are considered among the most brilliant ever played. His turbulent personal life, including collaboration controversies during World War II, remains debated.
Notable: His 1914 blindfold simultaneous exhibition against 26 opponents was a world record. The Alekhine Defense (1.e4 Nf6) is named after him.
