laskereshevsky: maybe she was trying to imitate Alekhine?!.....
i mean:....i heard a story ABOUT Alekhine and a patzer like many others...
. they were tripping in the same boat, or something else, and the patzer was introduced to Alekander by a friend, who said something like :"<Alexander, here is a chess appasionate like U!...>.(we can suppose the patzer was joked by his friend...).
At same point they started to play chess. Alekhine played White....
the game started with 1.♙e4 ♙e5 2.♘f3 ♘c6 3.♗c4..
and still the Alekhine"s hand was on the ♗, the other player said.
<HA!....THE ITALIAN OPENING...>
(dont losing the chance to show his theorical knowledge..)
After a glance to his opponent, Alekhine suddendly followed to move the ♗ to b5...:
<WELL!...THE SPANISH> said the second...
Alekhine with the most natural brazem-face, with his hand still on the ♗, again followed to move the piece...but now in a6!!!!......
after same moments of frozen-silence, the astonished "theorical" made his move. 3...♙xa6....
after the game ended with the (natural) Alekhine's victory, the poor man tryed to arguing about the 3.♗a6 move...saying something like: <what a strange move.....I never see it before...what is it?!...>
Alekhine started with an incredible explanation.... about this is the last ""creation" of the hipermodern chess....The sac of the ♗ is compensed by, the doubled A pawns, (!).... the B pawn moved away from the center (!!)... and the absence of the ♗ in c4 or b5, the wich one position is the strongest black's chance of counter-attack (!!!)...all this will lead UNAVOIDABLY to a better white's end-game....
<UNBELIEVABLE!....PLEASE, LETS TRY AGAIN!!>...
<OK...>, was the ALEKHINE's answer....
After several games played (and losed) by black against the new "opening"... the patzer was persuaded about the soundness of this line...<WELL!...U ARE RIGHT....I WILL STUDY IT!>...coulded be his last words...
i dont know if somebody ever said to the man that his opponent was the world champion.....(if yes,...that coulded be dangerous for the Alekhine' safety!...)
and if OLSEN ever heard this story!....(if yes,....that could explain a lot of thinks!!...)
